ClimAir wind deflectors

[chriscroft]

Finally got round to finding some time to tweak the Vel;
Remove the stick on Vw deflectors using Soft plastic trim removal tool; Hair drier; Sticky Stuff remover; blue paper rags; pure ethanol alcohol. (1.5hours)
Fit Climair sport deflectors around 10mins. Then remove "Climair-made in Germany" Sticker (20mins)
Fit Bulli Badges (5min
Fit Gen-Six Badges (5mins)
Fit Rear Metal Pressed plate with surround; and pressed Front without surround (20mins)

The Climair are superb quality and work really well, a bit more expensive, but spot on.
Well pleased with the look; biggest job was undoing the VW(UK) stick on mess.
Just needs a really good clean now, oh and got to put the T6FORUM sticker on as well.

Nice one mate! What did you use to take off the Climair stickers?

Just user a soft plastic trim removal tool, which is a srcaper that will not scratch, and then keep dabbing it with sticky stuff remover.

Any links to the Climairs? They do look tidy.

Look much better than the VW ones.

Best stuff for removing adhesive is Wurth industrial cleaner spray,we use it for most things and it never fails or caused any damage

@Polzeylad - my Climairs came from Vanstyle

It's worth pointing out that you have to drill a tiny hole in the window surround to secure them at the bottom - not everyone is comfortable with that idea!

You do have to drill the hole, but the whole thing seems very well engineered, and OEM, as if it is meant to be there, so I have no problems with it at all; and knowing there isn't a clip to fail etc etc. Also the hole is into plastic so no rust issues. The window motors didn't struggle at all the first time I closed them (even with the thicker acoustic glass), I think the inserted edge is better finished and thinner than some.
My position is usually to start with a specialist manufacturer/supplier who invests in design and R&D, and has a name they care about protecting by continuing to offer very high quality products; I think climair are one, but there maybe also be others.

That is the screw with the climair, if you removed the climair you would be left with a hole in the plastic trim.

Really like them a lot! Only thing is my indicator surrounds are black so not sure the black and chrome go? Thoughts? I like the black surrounds too so don't want to change them

These don’t appear to fit flush, or is it me?

 

[DaveyB]

Sorry @Phil Harris It’s you. I have these on mine, and they fit perfectly. It could be that you just haven’t pushed up high enough into the top window channel.

You’re probably right! I’ll have a go if it ever stops raining,

hi all just wondered has any of you got the climair defectors. If so how good are they or are there better one's available many thanks Tony

 

[Fish]

I have 'Team Heko' on my bus, really rate them but I did buy some additional fixing clips.
They look good and a simple to fit.

 

[Vdubcuz]

@Fish do yours whistle at speed?, mine do to the point I’m thinking of binning them!
