Have got myself some wind and rain deflectors - how many bravo users have the issue where you turn a corner and rain comes in through the open window! Problem solved! And look the part too.

your post surely begs the question why do you have your windows open when it's raining?!
 
You've missed to point of the holding rain water on top of the vehicle when it has been raining or in fact you have just had the car washed and you turn the corner and water drips all inside, trust you don't have the windows open - therefore not a valid comment?
 
To be fair I did not completely explain myself and your comment is valid :)
 
Turn a corner. Who needs to turn a corner?
Windies open, quick squirt of screenwash, flick of offside wiper and there's a stream of fluid through the driver's window - even when traveling in a straight line - dropping straight down onto the window switch.

Too true FOX! It's very frustrating! That's without even turning...... I haven't tried the stream of window washing yet ill let you know :) the outcome but had comments from other bravo drivers say that the deflectors actually look good. But I accept not to everyone's taste.
 
They dont look like the genuine Fiat wind deflectors, how much were they and where did you get them?

I had the genuine Fiat ones and kind of snapped one whilst waving out the window at someone one night :eek:
 
I bought some for our delta but I couldn't get my head around the funny way they fit at the rear of the door so I've never fitted them put one on decided I must have done something wrong and put it back in the box. How do you find it? I am worried that the pillar trim will be marked and also not sure it exactly looks right bit unfinished and peculiar, I think the OE accessories don't have this strange slot for the glass??

I thought that the little tab on the end went inside the trim but that looks plain awful, letting it sit outside seems equally inelegant

Well lads firstly I got them from eBay £24.99 from micksgarage and actually very robust!
Yes the figment is inside the window Channel and as for the part outside the channel I agree not what I thought it would be but this is the design to allow the deflector to sit out and not against the window. There are 3 clips that insert to stop the being blown off at speed and can confirm that doing 80's - 90's on a run.

Not everyone's taste but I like them, makes the motor look good and stops the holding roof water pissing in the window :)

Someone obviously thought quite hard about the design as it is quite a fancy design at the back, I think I might give them another try at the weekend. The fixing method with metal inserts is much better than some I had for another car that were made in Poland and had little stickers to hold the deflector in place that didn't hold well long term. I also bought mine from micks garage same price, are the front windows of bravo and delta the same I begin to wonder?
 
Well fitted mine again today will test them tomorrow 6 clips each side on delta, still don't fathom the design at the back very strange but I've kind of got used to it will see how it goes. Delta 3 is the first Italian car I've owned where the breeze with the window open is uncomfortably disturbing at neck level and I've owned quite a few so let's hope they work well
