Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the advice but ordered Climair before I saw this. Fingers crossed
I have the genuine VW ones according to the packaging. They are stick on.
They allow for the window to be slightly open for ventilation but still allow rain to run straight off the roof inside the van if the window is fully opened.
The self adhesive has held up on one side but the other side has let go on the leading edge near the mirror, currently fixed with a smear of contact adhesive.
I’ve never seen a clip in deflector so I can’t compare. All I will say is if you fit self adhesive ones make sure the surfaces are very clean (remove wax) and use clamps on the leading edge near the mirror to ensure good compression.

I have a pair of Hekos on my desk that I’ve taken off my van. I can’t get on with them, increased wind noise & decreased visibility. You can have them for a tenner plus postage or pick up from S70
I will take these from you if possible
Let me know the next time you’re near J36 on the M1, they’re yours.
I’m not sure when that will be would you post them to me and I will pay you ?
Yes I have them on my t5 ,they seem to slowly come away but I push em back in every now and again but they never fall out
I have the Heko ones, also had them on my T5, and have never had any problems with them coming loose after 10s of thousands of miles. I suspect it’s down to how they’re fitted in the first place. I’ve never used the clips and just rely on the sticky tape attached and I make sure that I clean the surfaces with ipa and make sure that they don’t foul the window channel and rub as that could work them loose.
My Heko ones came loose on the drivers side and i noticed that the sticky tape had failed, so i took the deflector off tweaked the clips and refitted, i then found out i hadn't had the clips positioned properly in the first place, because it fitted a lot better, so did the opposite side and now its all good
Exactly the same,drivers side kept coming loose,probably because it's used more.
Bought some extra clips of eBay,no problems since.

Hi Chris, can I ask if your Climairs are Smoke Tint or Black Tint (think the latter are called Climair Sport?). I recently bought a T6 Caravelle in Mojave Beige which I think is the same colour as yours, and the Climairs look great on yours mate. Thanks, Ron
I bought them from
Climair Wind Deflectors
They only seem to have 1 option regarding the tint on the above web site; so I'm not sure but they came from climairuk

could someone tell me the item codes for both Climair and Heko wind deflectors for a 2018 T6?
