(G) Wind deflectors

Hi, Im new here, well been browsing the site for a couple of week since I got my Stilo Jtd, I was wondering if anyone can help me, I have bought some wind deflectors from ebay German seller, when we have put them on the windows sruggle to come up past them did anyone else have that problem, is there a remedy? we thought maybe try filing some of the edge of but was worried that they would come out due to not enough stress applied....regards Joy

i got the same problem. i got mine from i imagine the same german seller. all i did is push the deflectors up tight in to the top of the window frame as possible. it is tight against the glass. but it will settle and get better.

How are you both going with the wind deflectors?

mine are ok, the drivers side window is the tighter side. but nothing to bad..
more pro's than con's

Those wind deflectors really are a a bad fit and it was reported in another post on the forum ..its always best to go for genuine parts when you add accessories to the car you are certain then they will fit correctly..

Does the same go for window blinds by any chance?

Was looking at both them and the wind deflectors on eBay, as they always crop up, and thought about getting both at some point.

my blinds are 100% perfect.
got them from the guys on ebay, went to collect them from them

Can you get fiat original wind deflector?

The windows blinds wont have the same effect as the wind delfectors. I have found the stilo the have a unique feature where if it has been raining and you brake the water from the side of the roof comes straight into the car directly onto the window control! What a design!

Hmm this is a usefull thread does anybody have any pics with them on as i am fed up of having the window open in the rain (im a smoker) and it all coming inside also do they stop this.

i'll take a pic for you later mate..
they look great

Does anyone know how much fiat would charge for a set of these wind deflectors as i could do with some.

an arm and probably a leg The Heko ones on ebay are the business I have them on my Marea

I have the genuine Fiat front window deflectors fitted since October '06 and paid 28 quid. They come with a plastic double sided wedge (one thick one thin end) that spreads the window channel when you work it around prior to fitting the deflectors. Quality of the deflectors was a little variable, one needing trimming and the other being ok out of the box.

Wouldn't be without mine, look good too on a black car as the're smoked grey

i'll pass on wind deflectors

Had them on my surf, come winter when the dew is in the air early on and your A pillar suddenly get's VERY wide

I also had a set of the Heko deflectors on my Stilo from a German eBay seller. Whipped 'em off and sold them when I quit smoking..... now smoking again so could probably do with another set - doh
They were a good fit on my car but they were an issue on the next car I believe, the securing tape on the Heko jobs isn't up to much to be honest. I'd substitute it for something a wee bit more substantial
