These things are tricky.. And if you fix without the clips...That's a real bonus. No videos out there tell you how to install the clips properly. Had a problem with Heku. Arrived in a fridge sized box and amazingly snapped! Think the DPD guy got the hump at me diverting the order cos I wasn't in! ;p
Did you make sure to leave the windows shut for at least 24 hours. Ideally more to sort of mould the window rubber. Maybe put a little washing up liquid in the window gap
Hi mate, great video. Real quick question, did you declare this to insurance? Just bought some recently and unsure if it's meant to be declared or not haha. Cheers mate
Thanks for the vid fitted these to my polo 6r today. 5 door so have fitted rears. Do you usually need clips for the rears? Obviously the fronts are secured in because they are angled into place. Any tips for fitting the clips as well as i tried snd they kept popping out 😂
I'm debating between these Edge branded ones and the ispeed ones, both about the same price range.. Any one used both? Iv only every used Heko, which were great.
Any advice on how the clips fit in I've installed mine on a vilvo v40 but one is loose so need to add the clips just to help incase my lad opens the window
Got these for my VW caddy, and the windows catch the corners of the deflectors when I wind them up...followed the instructions, you say you dont need clips...but I'm not sure how they fit in anyway? Atm ny window is catching it so much so, that the window is automatically going back down...help?
Did you do the slow up and down with the glass? Then once closed was it left for at least 24 hours? Then after this due to the reduced gap for the window to go in, you have to still take it easy closing the window. This improved over time and ideally warmer conditions. Something I did to help open and close the window was to open the window fully, get a thin wrag, get a flat head screwdriver, spray the wrag with WD40, the dig the flathead with the wrag into the groove where the glass goes in and run this all along it. This helps clean the channel and also adds lubrication. Since doing this mine has been fine
sup mate did you fit them entirely on the Window channel (what im asking Is If all of the Wind deflector Is sitting in the gap where the Window glass Rolls up) THX in Advance
have you cleaned the channel that the glass sits in with a wrag and WD40, use a flat head screwdriver to get right in the gap. Also you need to edge the glass a little at a time. Go up a little then down a little, then up, then down then up until it's closed. Then leave it shut for at least 24 hours. Ideally in warmer weather. All that should help
Hi Andy very useful video mate have got some edge visors but I noticed you did not put any clips on that come with these ,, and I don't want to use them ,, but did yours come with the clips that are supposed to make a tighter fit, cheers 👍
Hi. Yeh I didn't use the clips as felt dodgy to put a metal clip against the glass. I can say I have no issues at all with mine. Never come off or anything. Did take a while till the windows eased up as we're hard to close for a while. Make sure to spray WD40 on a cloth, out in a flat head screwdriver and run it along the whole grove where the window goes in to clean it and lubricate it
@DriveWithAndy Thanks for the quick reply. I got mine today for CITROEN C4 SPACETOURER. I was a bit worried it might fall off, but thanks for the advice I will let u know the outcome 👌👌👌👍👍
Got the Edge ones for my BMW X5 F15 and attempted to put them on. As the window went up it got slow and pulled back down (to say something was in the way) but now my window goes up and down but only does it after a fair few attempts. What has happened? It’s frustrating that I haven’t got them up yet neither as I had to remove the deflector due to this issue. Help.

I always seem to have a fitting error at the bottom towards the mirror the glass either pushes it out or it falls out of place… any tips? @DriveWithAndy
Watch the channel your slitting it into as I have had that before. Trickery as can see a few channels or what looks like one. Lift the glass up a little and see which channel the glass goes in then put the deflector in the next channel on the outside
@@phipper16 newer cars have detection where if there is resistance it wownt shut. Have you tried getting a flat head screwdriver with a cloth soaked in wd40 and run it through the window gutter? Also you have to make sure to let the windows up slowly but by bit at first then once shut keep them shut for at least 24-48 hours
Did you use the clips.. I was crazy tired and didn't line up the left window up after getting my tints got heko.. my tint got a tiny graze.. probs needs a hairdryer treatment!
@@DriveWithAndy yeah it's that last bit, just feels like it's being wedged in stress on the motor etc.. the clips on one side and see how it goes. To be honest it's an aftermarket product they always have a flaw.. as those don't come standard on a lot of vehicles
I have had these for Christmas for my Fiat pinto but they don’t go all the way to the end of the door there is a gap at the back between the end of the visor and the end of the door is this normal? I know my doors are quite long and I have the 3 door. My mum is convinced she bought the right ones however the box came with the smaller back window ones but I don’t have back doors. Are these just universal between the puntos?
I would contact them as doesn't sound right. Mine have been in since this video and not budged. I didn't even need the clips as for me that could cause damage and make it hard to remove them
Maybe ur 3 door car don't need clips but lot of other do need them especially for the backside but you don't mention anything about it what kind of guide is this video
I have to admit I have not looked closely at it. It is very subtle. I would have to go see it closely but I guess if really wanted it gone it may be possible to sand it using grades of paper and then polish the plastic
@@DriveWithAndy When you get chance, can you have a look at it and let me know. I just don’t like the logos on them😂😂I’ve already bought a few other ones and have had to return them so don’t want to do that again.
@@zainiqbal5417 so it's not a sticker. But it's subtle, more grey in the black and feels like if I got some sand paper and worked way to 2000-3000 grit you could just lightly sand it off and then polish it off. May even do this myself
Did take a while till the windows eased up as we're hard to close for a while. Make sure to spray WD40 on a cloth, put in a flat head screwdriver and run it along the whole grove
hi there after fitting my wind deflectors i found that the next day after fitting them that when i lowered the window then tried to close it that the window got to within 1"from closing it again that the window went back down again aany ideas on how to sort this out please
They will be stiff for a while. A good trick to help is get a flat head screwdriver and a wrag, wet the wrag in some WD40 and run it through the channel of the window where the glass goes. It will both clean the channel and help the glass slot in easier whilst the gap adjusts
@@stephenthompson3428 no problem, hope it helps. Let me know if it does do anything. Last thing to do whilst it's still stiff towards the top is to help it up with your hand
Hi Andy, I had a problem with my electric windows whilst installing. When I wound my windows up it become stuck by the anti tramp mechanism and also, when I shut the window completely it refused to open again until about 10-20 attempts! Please can you tell me how to get around this?

have you cleaned the channel that the glass sits in with a wrag and WD40, use a flat head screwdriver.The diflector sits in the corner near the wingmirror as shown in the video
@@harrybaxter9458 you need to help it up by hand whilst holing down the switch. Leave it for a good 48 hours. Then when you out the window down for the first time, get some WD40 and a flat head screwdriver with a tissue/thin towel/rag and run it all through the window lip to both clean it and lubricate it. After a while the windows work fine
@@harrybaxter9458 so yeh press and push the window up by hand to help it. It will struggle as the gap has been reduced. The gap gets bigger with time as the rubber seal will press into a new form

Ha! I fitted mine today.. opened the box and thought bloody hell is that the size of my car door!
Haha I know it's mad
That's the first thing I thought when I opened the box why did they look so big 😂
Same here
Same 😂
😂😂😂😂Just got one and exactly the same thought rang through.
Good job mate, just bought these for a Mk8 Civic. Then the qr code on the box sent me to your channel!
Oh wow that's awesome haha. I didn't even know that 😁👍
Same haha
Mine fitted without the clips, but your advice helped alot, this was for a 2019 skoda Fabia small estate

Arrived in a fridge sized box and amazingly snapped! Think the DPD guy got the hump at me diverting the order cos I wasn't in! ;p
Yeh no clips are needed, makes it easier to take off and on again and doesn't damage your windows
Is strong enough to hold without the clips. I mean, it is not going to fall off after a couple of weeks a couple of months nice video thos 👏👏
Imagine when I got mine I tried for like 10mins before I realised ur meant to roll down the window 🤣🤣
No way haha
@@DriveWithAndy unfortunately yh 😂😂😂
just about to fit mine 🎉
Easy enough to install I just keep having an issue on closing the window it keeps thinking something is in the way and reopens
Did you make sure to leave the windows shut for at least 24 hours. Ideally more to sort of mould the window rubber. Maybe put a little washing up liquid in the window gap

THX in Advance
Yeh they fit into the same gap as the window. No need for the metal clips
write me impressions from these wind deflectors...i personal use Climair. yours are more dark i think... Well done my good friend Nice video
Mines are a tad short and the none existent sticky tape 😂 off to hobby craft, use my brain cell and snug them in, the clips were useless also lol
My front windows react to them fitted by coming back down half way as per safety soft close if I don’t hold the button. 😢
