A couple of not great photos of a dirty car!!

I like the deflectors, had a higher speed test on the way home and can report the wind noise appears better. Also, less buffeting with window open and importantly for me, I can open the window without getting wind blast directly in the face - I have the seat a fair way back due to long legs.

They seem a different design to the Heko ones. Fit seems very secure. I'm pleased. Next - fit the mudflaps!

Thanks for posting. Looks good, nice and subtle

 

 

Now get it lowered

Will i need to push up on the actual window? Just cant seem to get the window all the way up??

I had that problem. The deflector catches the top of the window.

You can push up to make it go all the way.

Maybe try seating the deflector better in the channel if possible

How far up does it get stuck/return?

Pretty much bang on half. I actually threw my drivers side deflector across the garden it was annoying me so much. Ive tried tweaking with the deflector whilst using window switch but just seem to get as far up every time. Feel like im fitting them completely wrong.

When I first fit mine, the anti-trap returned at halfway. It was hitting the weatherstrip at top of the door panel, near to the mirror. Just enough to make the mechanism think there was something there. A little finessing of the strip cured it. No need to tweak the deflector if seated properly, just the rubber strip.

Not gonna lie. Pee'd be off alot too.

Especially at 80mph when i tried to get the window to come up and it kept coming all the way down haha.

Im pretty sure it could be done though. Just try to locate exactly where its getting stuck and try smooth it out. Patience i guess haa

After a couple days with the windows up all is well and I have no anti-trap issues at all. Very pleased I got them!

Will have to try that in morning. I'll be back on tomorrow. Hopefully having fitted wind deflectors

I will get a couple of pics of mine in the daylight tomorrow.

 

I bought the Skoda ones which don't have any clips at all. The front ones are a friction fit and the rears have a thin strip of double sided tape at the top which holds them to the top of the frame. Very, very easy to fit.

I paid £36 per pair (a good deal more than the Heko ones, but I had a voucher from Skoda to spend )

 

As far as the anti-trap goes you have to retrain it - get it to the top and hold the switch up for 3 seconds until set - these are the instructions from Skoda.

You also need to check the door top weather strip as it gets pushed in by the deflector near the mirror which stops the window half-way ish.

 

I like the look of them so far and will see how they are in the light

I can only agree with the above.  Fitted Skoda deflectors to my Corrida Red VRS last week and they were a breeze to fit - less than 5 minutes.  Followed the 'training' instructions and no problems now with anti-pinch etc.  Bonus is now that I can have my window open a few inches to flick fag ash out and there is no waterfall of water onto the electric window switches....oh....and they look great as well.

Got the sunglasses holder fitted yesterday - super quick 2 minute job. Bargain at £18, nice little mod.

I'm pleased with the few additions over the last couple of days.

Any links for some decent wind deflectors & mudflaps or are OEM the best bet?

Team heko deflectors. Not sure on flaps. I have aftermarket ones but have not managed to get home in daylight ours to get them on.

Yeah. Thats not a full set though. You can get front and back. Ive had mine ages have trouble fitting them. No idea why. Its just awkward and im impatient.

Cheers pal. I'm not the most patient person either...............LOL.

OEM ones fit perfect without any issues - more pricey though...

Don't make the OEM ones anymore according to my local Skoda dealer.
