Frequently asked questions
Which wind deflectors are better — stick-on or in-channel?
Stick-on ones are attached to the frame above the glass and do not touch the seal, so they do not interfere with the window mechanism — this is the most common option. In-channel ones fit into the window channel and look integrated, but they can make it harder to raise the glass on cars with automatic window closing.
At what temperature can wind deflectors be installed?
From +15 °C and above: in cold weather, the adhesive tape does not bond well. In winter, install them in a warm room and let the car warm up before fitting.
How many wind deflectors do I need — 2 or 4?
A set of 4 covers the front and rear doors of a passenger car. A set of 2 is usually for the front doors; vans and minibuses are usually equipped this way. The quantity is indicated in the product name.
Will wind deflectors from a different body type or the US version fit?
No, wind deflectors are model-specific: a sedan, hatchback, and wagon have different rear doors, and some models have separate versions for cars from Europe and the USA. Choose the set for your body type and model years; if in doubt, send the manager a photo of the doors or the VIN.
Can I wash a car with wind deflectors at a car wash?
Yes, but not earlier than a day after installation. Do not leave active foam on the wind deflectors for too long, and do not direct a high-pressure jet at a sharp angle onto the edge of the tape.
How are wind deflectors with chrome molding different?
They have a glossy chrome trim along the lower edge and highlight the chrome on the body. The mounting is the same as on black ones, but chrome versions are usually more expensive.
