S40 wind deflectors won't fit

colbully · Apr 4th, 2017, 13:54

Bought a nice set of tinted wind deflectors for the s40 and no matter what I do they won't fit ..the window keeps catching and keeps rolling back down with the auto window safety feature
Anybody have issues with deflectors fitment ?

Are they the Heko ones?

All the way in with the clips installed?

Ive got mine installed fine.... I did not use the clips though.

Buy yourself some black rtv silicone and put a little drop on the lip and sit in thr channel and put the window up. Mind and not put too much on now lol... leave for a day or two and you will be fine. The back ones dont hold with the clips either.

The clips are a waste of time, I had them on my megane first at the track doing 120mph and the passenger one fell off and smashed up

How did you get on with these? I'm having the same problem with the heko ones fitted them to several cars before with no problem but these windows seem to have a much shallower seal to the point where the clips don't even fully go in ( the still stick out after going in and hitting the top of the seal)
Tried for ages to a point where my window is now playing up and not wanting to go down sometimes and seems to have a bit of play.
