I had a set of Heko on my T5 (starlight blue?) and have refitted to my “new to me“ T6 (indium Grey). Hadn’t noticed they have a real brownish tint which looks a little off against the grey. Anyone know if you can get reasonable quality smoke grey (similar to window tint) colour?
Wind deflectors... which ones?
I’ve fitted a set of Climair deflectors on my Indium T6, colour looks fine. Euro Car Parts were a good price too.
Cheers will check them out, my Hekos defo a brown based tint so ideally looking for something more grey tone.
I've also got the climeair.
Smoke is defiantly grey no browness to it.
Goes well on the pure grey van..
Are these the ones that require a small grub screw to hold in place?
Yes they are..
Although I installed mine without as I wanted to make sure I liked them first.
I've had them on since Christmas and sill haven't put the screw in. I'm not convinced it needs to be fitted to be honest. They seem fine to me without the screw..
You could probably use double sided tape to hold the small bracket in place rather than the fiddly small screw.
Or, once you've dropped and lost the said small fiddly screw, use double sided tape
Wind deflectors.... To be or not to be?
Drivers side and passengers side window wind deflectors.
What are any actual (not just the sales bull) advantages of them?
Why do people fit them?
Has anyone removed them from a van that they bought with them in place.... Was wind noise etc actually any better/worse, or are they mainly just a sort of fashion accessory?
Comments from anyone who've fitted them, and more so from those who may have removed them, very welcome....

From your post in another thread you say you already have them fitted. Could you not remove them, see how you get on and then refit if you decide you want them?
My van didn’t have them when I got it and I drove for a while like that. I then fitted a set of Climair smoked deflectors as I like the look and want to be able to keep the windows ajar without water getting in (it’s a camper). I didn’t experience any other particular advantages or disadvantages with wind noise, window operation, visibility (you can easily see through the smoked ones) or turbulence when driving with the windows open etc. My wife likes them too and wants them on our car as well!

Hi Mic71,
Are the Climair still holding fast without the bracket? I've had my van about a month now, and would like to put some deflectors on. The Climair would be my first choice, as they sound like they're better quality and there's no mention of the crush issues ssome people get with the Heko's...but I really can't bring myself to drill the plastic on the van
They held fine all the time I didn't have a screw in there.. that was from Christmas until about 2 weeks ago when I decided I liked them enough to put the screw in..Hi Mic71,

I have fixed them now..
My verdict was there is not a hole there unless I decide to not have the deflectors and I decided I liked the van better with them so as long as they are there there is no hole..

Hi...
I'm currently looking into wind deflectors for my T6.1
Can anyone advise me into which ones are best, because reading up on the subject has led me into believing that if you have to use the clips that are supplied,they can scratch your windows.. is this correct... I'm after Heko that goes into the window channel without the clips... any help would be greatly appreciated TIA....
