I have the HEKO ones... fit perfect, easy to do. I did use the CLIPS, easy enough. Clips on the HEKO's actually enforce a window channel that is wide enough for the glass, so ensures no strain on the windows. Not sure on the Climair ones... I guess they're good too.
Got mine for the 5 door off ebay for just under £30.
I'm curious myself.
Never smoked personally so not a problem for me, but many's the time I've been waiting for the wife - surprise!! - and there's light rain. I would hope it stops this getting in, permitting the window to be opened as you suggested.
I'm also interested in if there's any increase in wind noise at speed - above 60 mph say.
I have had wind deflectors fitted on every car I have ever owned. I don’t smoke, but they help with ventilation, stops windows condensation, especially when parked up on damp days, stops the rain coming in, stops the wind coming in and cuts down on wind noise when at speed when window is open. Allows for windows to be left cracked open on hot summer days, without triggering interior ultrasonic sensors. And because they are tinted they act as a sun visor to prevent setting sun entering the side window of the car and sun burning the face of you.
Can’t say I’ve noticed anything at the National speed limit. Only fitted them on Sunday. Will be doing motorway journey tomorrow so will see if there is any noise at motorway speeds.
Are both of those in channel? Personal preference but I don't think the in channel look as good and tend to jam the windows when auto up compared to OEM Honda, pricey direct thought at 220 a set but quality isn't cheap
From what I can see the issue is with the bulky plastic clips Heko are now using, instead of the much thinner metal clips they used to use. I am also going to try trimming the plastic clips down quite a lot and tape full length with 3M to see if that prevents water ingress when washing. TBH the auto close issue goes away quite quickly, once the window learns its new position, again this is down to the bulky plastic clips imo.
Do these help stop side windows getting dribbled on when you use screenwash?
