Which Ones / make ?
& from where if you tell us please ?...are they from the place in Halifax ?
are they viable extra ?...i.e. can you crack a window open at speed & get some air without a major gale ?BREXIT - done properly.

Thanks tayaste, thats what i thought, just wanted to make sure as not all sellers list them up 2014.
BLFarrar, they are the HEKO deflectors, the company is in Germany. I had them for a few years on the D3 and they were good, you can open the window a little and have no major gales coming in, i did find when the windows were up and on the motorway i could detect a bit extra noise from them, but nothing to complain about, just turned the radio up a couple of turns. Since not having them on the D4 cracking a window on the motorway i find it quite noisy now.
What i like is they are a dark tint, so you can leave the window open slightly and unless someone looks up you can't tell they are open a little.
Linky for you.

I had the type that fits in the glass runner on D2 and it caused the glass to scratch as dirt etc got in between the glass and the perspex.

I have climair ones on front only.
These are stuck on outside of window frame, whilst not so easy to remove or change vechicles they are much quieter than those fitted in the window channels. No noise difference whatsoever to when not fitted.
Another benefit of fitting these is when partially open and wet outside, or using washers, stops water coming in all over the window switches.D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Need to clean the car more often……. but seriously in the years that i had them, never had that problem with them.

Well, got the wind deflectors yesterday, so just been down and fitted them.
After learning the hard way last time I left the glue sticky cover thing on and put them in first, or at least tried.
The outcome is the rears I took a little off the ends, about 1-2 mm, made them a lot better to fit, the front drives side(pass UK car) fitted no problem, well it needs bending a bit to get it in, put the front in first and the rear will near bending a little, the pass side(driver UK car) was a bit tighter, got it in but really it could do with a bit off the end to make it an easier fit.

Yep according to the little piece of paper, but I got them from Germany as the delivery is cheaper than from Poland for some reason. Also I knew exactly what I was getting as I had some 2 years ago for the old D3.2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)

Yes they are cheap, I mean if LR made them the same Im sure the fit would be a lot better at ten times the cost, but for the sake of 5mins of a bit of trimming I think the quality is really good. The last ones i had i did not trim them, they fitted fine, just a bit hard to get in, so this time i remembered and trimmed them first to make it a bit easier. 2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)

I broke one mucking about with it so bought another set still worked out cheaper than the next best thing. I see them fitted to loads of models now. They are well made for the money.
