Very nice T

Same as mine and Andy_D's. Thanks to Andy for the recommendation

My rears don't fit as snug as I'd like and I'd prefer if they were slightly curved along the lower edge.

But all in all they look good

t4 tony · Nov 26th, 2010, 14:36

yeh i know what you mean about the curve mate,that would of made them a lot nicer on the back, but like you say there o.k.

andy_d · Nov 26th, 2010, 14:45

i kinda have to agree, they are not bad as they are,,
50/50 on the curve on the rear tho, but they DO seem to suit your cars colours better than mine,

t4 tony · Nov 26th, 2010, 14:47

Ok ive got them now and i cant wait to fit them.

But, what i dont get is how the sticky pad on the deflector is supposed to stick to the inside of the window seal. The seal inside is felt like and in my long enginnering experience no tape ever sticks to carpet or this kind of felt. A smooth surface yes but this stuff.....

Also, do you guys have any odd noises when the glass hits the plastic when it's shutting? Since the seal would flex for the glass this abs reflector won't budge and i would have thought will make a knock as the glass hits its going up.

Cheers

i did'nt get why they put the sticky stuff on, i also knew it would'nt stick to the felty stuff. but once there on mate with the clips fitted the wont go any where, as for a noise, i dont hear anything, only seeing the front ones move slightly when the window go's up but nothing to worry about at all.
