Hi

I have recently purchased set of Heko Wind Deflectors for my F31..

I have fitted them , but whenever I put the window up it's getting hit , result window comes down as safety feature kicks in..

Can someone give me some advise..

Fitting them is easy I'm sure I won't be fitting them wrong but can't make it work..

Any advice..

Try taking the metal clips out.

Also they do need a bit of time to bed in, getting a flat blade screwdriver or trim tool in the slot and gently prising them to frame may help.

To each their own, with respect what is the point of wind deflectors other than the obvious?

I've seen more and more cars with these recently, reminds me of the 70's. For some reason a gold ford cortina GLS comes to mind whenever I see them.

On mine it helps stop water dripping inside if i have the windows open about an inch when it is raining.

Take them carefully out the box, lay them parallel on the ground in line with the wheels. Align the car carefully and drive over them!

Sweep up the bits and deposit in the bin.

Your welcome

Ah the 70s that takes me back!
Platform soles impossible to drive in but that never stopped anyone!
New cars guaranteed to rust after 12 months!
Gary Glitter and Jimmy Saville!
Bit of a shit decade to be honest!

I assume it is smokers that are in need of these? As a non-smoker I really can't see any use for them.

You forgot the white dog poo everywhere!
Wagon Wheels and Mars Bars big enough that you could share with someone!

White dog poo, what ever happened to that?

Reduced levels of bone meal in dog food apparently and folks don't give dogs bones to chew any more because its messy. Also rise of fines for leaving dog poo and the rise of the 'pooper scooper' essential dog owner accessory.

The only white stuff on pavement now is discarded chewing gum, yuk!
