Team Heko Wind Deflector Problems...

[ZanderMichaelJason]

Hi guys, I've just installed a set of Team Heko wind deflectors to my 5dr Dynamique but having issues with them - They'll all basically having the same issue: the window keeps catching/ getting stuck due to the deflectors

The rear deflectors just seem to 'flap' down once the window has been wound down and then when you try to wind it up the window catches the deflector! I've used two clips per window and I made sure to peel off the adhesive tape! Has anyone got any tips for these?

The front deflectors are having basically the same problem, once you try to get the window to go back up the deflectors cause too much friction which causes the window to stop - I then have to play with the deflector for the window to be able to come back up!

Please help as this is really annoying me! Thanks in advance guys!

Did you leave the windows closed for 24-48 hrs after inserting them? I found that helped make it a bit loser.

I'll wait until they've been in for that long then I'll let you know Thank you

Yeah, I even looked in a few threads and on some 'how to's' to see if I'd put them in the right places and by the looks of it I have :S
The problem occurs at the edges of the deflectors (top left when looking at the windows) they seem to just fall into the windows path once the window is put down

I put my clip in the corner. I'll do a quick paint diagram which will explain better

I had this problem, I put double sided tape all the way down from top to bottom, they've never cached again

Happens to everyone, run a damp cloth in your window channel every so often to try and avoid it getting worse!

Cheers buddy, my passenger one has just broken so I'll have to wait until they send me some new ones before I can try this!

That sounds like a good idea tbh, did you use anything special or just random?
