Help - Heko Wind Deflectors - any good?

[numskull]

Just wanted to get opinions on these as a worthwhile, not bad or pointless addition? Do they also reduce wind noise when closed (not that there seems to be much!) 

 

Cheers... Rob

Purchased mine from http://www.superskoda.com/

 

Just fitted today after a full detailing and coated with opti coat pro

 

They are a good job but they definitely increase wind noise  

 

 

I also got a rear bumper protector fitted

Interesting about those deflectors. Will you keep them on?

[kevberlin]

I bought some when I ordered my car.

I do not believe they cause wind noise. They appear to be moderately successful in allowing me to drive with the window down, if you understand what I mean.

Not fantastic, but I would order them again if I were to buy another new car.

[SuperbIRL142]

yes , I will keep them on for a week or so and then see

[WaveyDavey]

I used to have them on my Fabia vRS and had no problems with them. We had them on the mrs' Fabia vRS also but someone actually managed to nick all four while the car was parked overnight!!! The one lucky thing was that somehow they did it without breaking any of the windows!!!

Cheers

Have "Heko" bought off ebay all 4 for about £32 delivered, on my 2012 Octavia and I like them as I drive with my window partly open, also do not get any annoying drips coming in

Another user of the Heko deflectors here. Drive with window slightly open brilliant stops the rain coming in. Also parking up in hot weather can drop all windows 1cm and not noticeable from outside. But do find with windows closed a slight increase in wind noise, not unbearable but definately there. Also SuperbiRL142 where did you get rear bumper protector for FL model?

[SuperbIRL142]

Hi Grumpy

 

I got the rear bumper protector at http://www.superskoda.com/

 

You can get them in Chrome or Black/Brown Plastic

One tip:

 

the deflectors I got came with clips, and I used them to secure the deflectors, however, they were not really needed and I removed the clips today. The additional wind noise is almost gone!

On one photograph of them there appears to be writing on the corners, does this come off?

No it's etched into the plastic.

[superbdreams]

shame, don't want them then...

[numskull]

Thanks everyone for your input/views. One balance, I think I may give them a miss!

[superbdreams]

If anyone knows of some without the white writing I would be interested.

[HoneyMonster65]

Ask your Dealer if they have any KCD509001. This is apparently Skoda part number for them and see if they have the writing on them. These are the hekos which writing is more noticeable some angles and invisible others.

[SuperbIRL142]

nice car grumpy

 

 

and , yeah, the writing is not noticeable from any distance really

Thanks for that, images of that part number do not show any writing at all.

£30 from superskoda, will wait for a free delivery week.. ( you'll no be having a sale will you)  ((for the older members ))

As above the writing isn't as white as the photos suggest as like i say it is etched rather than printed onto the plastic...... Unless they've changed since the two sets we had. In real life the Team Heko writing isn't all that noticeable at all.

I've put them on my car. They work reasonably well. Means I can drive with windows open and very little buffering entering cabin. I'm happy. Just wished I lived a little closer to Europe. Importing Skoda parts and Accessories to Australia is costing me a small packet. :-(
