Fitting of Wind deflectors.

[lfcrule1972]

^ Are the ones above the official Citroen deflectors ?

Yes mate, The genuine ones. There was like a rubber thing at the bottom i thort was a double sided sticker but it wasnt so i left it on. The instructions arw crap to be honest lol

[Dsportdan]

My error, the seal goes behind the deflector not infront lol. All sorted now

[lfcrule1972]

Phew, I was worried about the amount of water that was going to let in !

Can anyone help I have just got hold of some deflectors I think they are manufacturers from citroen as they came off another ds3 and have a small citroen sticker on. I have tried to fit by simply putting them in the same gap the window glass uses with windows open but the fitting seems very wrong they pretty much fall down on their own unless the window is closed.

I have currently fitting them in between the door frame and seal which fits much better but this now seems to affect the drivers side one touch close and once the window reaches the top it comes.back down half way so it seems like the deflector is blocking the glass and making it automatically come.back down half way.

I have left them in between the seal.and door and finally.got both Windows shut but after ready few things on here it seems like I may have done it wrong and I don't want a wet car.

Can anyone help?

My deflectors aren't Citroen ones but mine are held in with barbed u-shaped clips. I have read that you can silicone wind deflectors in (run a line of silicone on one edge, slide in and leave to fix with the windows up). I don't know if that would work for you? Also, regarding your windows coming down - apparently if you have a second pair of hands who can help the window up and then leave the window up for 24 hours, that's recommended.

I hope some of this helps or at least starts a pros and cons conversation for you.

In rain you can have the windows open a bit without water dripping in,which is another good reason to have them! Also a good place to mount your stickers!

Yeah, I've got my stickers mounted in the same place.

ok guys i have fitted them in the same slots as my windows and left them overnight for 12 hrs and more but still falling down as soon as the window gets opened, not really wanting to use a permanent fix or silicone unless i really have to, the ds3 they came off did not have clips or silicone or anything holding them in place does anyone have any other ideas?

appreciate the help

What about double sided tape? I've seen people on other forums say some actually come with double sided tape. It is less permanent.

Incidentally, when I first fitted mine, they stayed in without clips. However, one did pop out once and when I refitted it, it wouldn't stay in and I had to use clips. Maybe yours has had wind deflectors fitted before and the 'pinch' has gone from the gap and that's why your new ones won't stay in.

If I can fit them, anyone can, please don't do as my friend did and pay someone £20 to do it....

Pop corner one in, ease in corner two, then bend in slightly to slide three in:



Mine are Citroen ones. Some come with clips, but They aren't needed imo. The natural resistance from the bend keeps them in place.

Hi guys, my drivers side has just started doing thing all of a sudden. I have taken it right out and started again but still no luck. It doesnt appear to be broken in anyway, just wondered if anyone had any ideas?

[WTF]

Started doing what sorry?

[lfcrule1972]

Mine have been in a long while now and no issues at all (made me laugh looking back at my 2013 posts where I said I would never buy them )
