Heko Wind Deflector Clips

[Cayd]

Might be a stupid question, but are the metal clips necessary, when fitting?

Thanks.

 

[Typhoon]

They hold it in mate, so necessary.

Ok, had a feeling they were but saw a few tutorials with people not using them, thank you

Only takes seconds and they're quite well hidden. Your deflectors will fall out unless you plan to drive with your windows up 24/7! 😂

Yep i didnt have the clips in mine as i bought them second hand on here.
I just shoved a make shift clip up into the recess to hold them in place.

Yeah dont want that!! Guess I'll have to work out how to put these clips on, might just drive about with duct tape just incase! 😂😂

You just push them up into the seal with the open end facing downwards.

Well I have fitted them (with a little bit of sanding involved ). Not sure what tool to use to put the clips in though?

Sanding...? Why?

And just push them up with your fingers.

Only a little bit with wet and dry, and I tried everything before hand. but anymore force and they would of broke. They now fit perfectly

They don't need sanding, and are proper flexible.

 

[Bear Head]

Yeah can't see why you sanded them [emoji15] sheeeeett. You wanna bend them into place and get the metal clips in taking note to get them the correct way around.

They aren't actually necessary really tbh. Some people in certain cars don't use them. They do have adhesive on them anyway.

The clips are to stop the deflectors fouling the windows

 

[Cayd]

Not the end of the world, barely sanded them that much. And you couldn't tell that i had sanded them so its all good

 

[LeeRS]

im confused.
its a bit of plastic that you bend into place and clip into the seal.

hmm.. there are clips?? my drivers side deflector keeps falling down. I thought it was held on my double sided tape. Ive been rolling with typhoons suggestion for last few weeks. Window does excellent job of holding it up. Can't they be glued with a bit of tiger seal or somethin?

Thank v much.. I'll get some

 

[LeeRS]

Thats the ones. Or you can make some. I just used the top of a lighter and bent it into shape because im a pauper.

nope. the clips do nothing. i got some. the heko material width is only around 1mm. a 6mm pinch gap on the clip does nothing. double sided tape is the answer

Maybe they do, maybe they dont. But from what i've been told, may as well put them in.

Mine havent fallen of yet.
