Wind / Rain Window Deflectors
« on: June 11, 2012, 12:46:52 PM »

I'm after a set of these for the ForFour Brabus, i noticed yesterday, that when i go round a right hand bend, i get wet if i have water on the roof... ooops :P
I would close the window, but i drive along with the window down for fresh air whatever the weather really!
Can anyone point me the best / cheapest place to get a set for the Brab?
I've Googled, but i'd rather buy from somewhere on recommendation really!

Thanks

eBay is fine (uk or Germany) - just make sure you get the team Heko ones as they are the best quality (but you still need to fettle)

And make sure it's the kit for all 4 (check part number on team heko web site)

Lawrence....
Here's the link to the HowTo guide on fitting those Heko wind deflectors....
and it includes the 'fettling' info that is vital.

JJ / G

Would the fettling be required for all For Fours or just the Brabus ??

I really should get myself a new set of these , fronts at least , as it was  very cold when I put them on and a couple of little bits cracked and broke off  ( but it doesn't show  ) , also they've lasted well , they've been on the car for over 5 years now . ;D
