850/v70 wind deflectors

[Ian mallett]

I'm looking for a set of wind reflectors to fit my ph1 v70. I've found some at the right price but they are showing as 4door only. Does anyone know if the rear doors are the same between v70 & s70.

Ian:~ Try these,just purchased a set & confirmed fit by the supplier-send them your details to double check if you wish.

same kit will do both cars

Thanks for that, exactly what I needed to know.
Next question, which is better... Stick on or clip in channel ones? I've always had clip ins but hate the way they scratch and screech on the windows.

Cheers for that, I had bought some different ones earlier but just had them cancelled as they were out of stock 😠.
Have you fitted these to your car yet?

Hi Ian- not yet as the white stuff is still a liitle heavy!
I don't want to start bending plastic until warmer,however I have purchased a set from the same company for the 240 Estate & again checked directly with them for a fit- confirmed back- and they do.
(I always double check prior to buying then if you have a problem you have additional proof of wrong supply when returning etc)
The stainless clips are not really required although I did buy some more of them but never used (they advised the same) you can add more double sided tape if you wish but once they begin to settle within the channels then all should be ok as they are a captive fit-just watch the initial window up/down to avoid any points that may catch the new fittings.
Hope it helps
Regards Bob

Hi bob thanks for the info, once tou have fitted them could you post some pictures and let me know how well the windows open & close as I was going to go with stick on just because I dont like the glass scraping on the plastic.

Hi Ian:~ sorry for the delay but I have only just fitted these today, I have a couple of photos just taken (evening) so a little on the dark side but otherwise ok- I can’t get them loaded onto this site but if you let me have your email address I will send over:~ Just Sorted This!
They are a straight forward fit- see YouTube for some more details in addition to the package information. For the front fitting locate the front lower edge behind the mirror pressing down & then locate the back edge into the channel this will flex the wind deflector some then start to work the same into the rest of the channel.
The rear is the same procedure but less flexing is required- remove the tape that holds the fitting in place- clean the channel first with something like panel degreaser so that the tape can stick. I haven’t used the stainless clips yet as I want to wait and see how well they stay in place without them.
Windows closed without any great problem but watch for any initial catching- the glass will compress the new fitting into the channel so just leave them closed for as long as possible.
Trust this ok for you
Regards Bob

I've bought wind deflectors in the past, worth a look, if you have't got sorted yet.

Heko have been the most durable wind deflectors I currently have them on my car. Highly recommend.
