There are some pictures of the Climair wind deflectors fitted to a Type S here, with some useful fitting tips.

I'd like to see them fitted to your CTR, bigcivictyper, when you get chance to post some pictures

I put deflectors last year on front windows of my 5 door - think they are a different make but look very similar....

Wheelchair · 16th October 2008, 23:16

Do they make a big difference?

don't think they make any difference at all, except you can have the window open by about 1" in the rain

I only put 'em on because I thought they looked nice 'n sleek!!

each to their own, but IMO i dont see how adding additional bits make it look any sleeker! Sorry to probably upset a lot of people, but just to say, i dont think this mod is for me!

Hi Big Civ,
Have you tried charcoal biscuits - they have worked wonders for me.

I had them on a 4x4 and they were only any good when it rained

...agreed, but then again I didn't say they made the car look sleeker....

They do provide a little bit of shading from the sun too

Each to his own indeed.

Does it stop the rain from flowing in when you have the window open?

Wheelchair · 17th October 2008, 10:19

According to the first post in this thread it does.....

bigcivictyper · 17th October 2008, 16:54

the reason i got them was that i had them on my old type r and it helps stop the rain pourin in when the window is open , you could also say that it adds an extra look to the car also .

bigcivictyper · 17th October 2008, 18:07

finally got the pics taken when i came in from work today so what do you think?

Dimplyred · 17th October 2008, 18:09

I think they look good

And as you say they're functional too.

Wheelchair · 17th October 2008, 18:10

I think it looks very smart indeed, well done!

Are you going to post a 'How to'?

NEEMSTAR · 17th October 2008, 18:10
