Heko were fine until one flew off, also noted they do work loose even with the clips, wont buy them again so looking for a different set by a different manufacture
Wind deflectors... which ones?
You need to replace their 2 sided tape with a high bond version - the tape on mine let go with the moisture but haven't since replacement.
DUB-FLECTA'S had no trouble with them nice blue tint and a bit wider than the others
thats great thanks - you get on with them then? Our vw stick on ones have just come unstuck...
@scotia - I must admit. this is my 2nd set!
The 1st set, my drivers deflector fell out whilst driving within 3 days of being fitted.
Vw Sheffield replaced FOC and for the last 1.5 yrs - all is well.
I find them useful when camping as you can drop them an inch or 2 to let air circulate even if it rains.
I know that other folk use Heko or Dubflectas etc, but the OEM ones seem to do the trick
Also, I think they look a little neater without having to use sticky tape, being fitted externally as some others use, by inserting clips in the window gap to secure them.

I am think of getting a set of Team Heko wind deflectors for my T6 front windows?
Just checking wind deflectors are a good idea?
Also wondering if there are any great deals out there or other wind deflector brands which I should be made aware off before I order?

I wouldn’t say they’re ‘life changing’ by any means. They do stop some of the wind blast when you have the window open a few cm, but anymore then that and they make no difference at all IMO, I have noticed increase wind noise on the drivers side too. A plus though is, we can have the windows open a crack when we’re sleeping in the van and the rain doesn’t come in.

For me, a plus point of having fitted wind deflectors is that I can afford to leave the windows open a little (about 1") thus letting some air flow through. My view is that's a good thing especially in winter as it helps stop damp accumulating when the van might unused for a while. FWIW, I've got Dubflacta Classics and the plastic is dark enough that you can't see any gaps unless you press your nose up against it.. I've found the wind deflectors themselves to be very good but the firms communication are terrible and I don't think I'd like to be in a position where I was trying to talk warranty issues with them. I think others on her have had a similar experience.
