I tried fitting them to my Polo but the clips were just not fitting so I just used adhesive pads.

Haven’t fallen out yet

I'll keep this idea in mind, mine should arrive this week, how are you getting on with them, any regrets?

Thank you for the photo and advice, they look great on your car, I have a Reef Blue R-Line and a white GTi+ so hopefully they will look just as nice on the white as the blue.

Hello, I have fitted my deflectors and fronts are fine without clips as you say.
Rears are ok but clips almost useless, would you be kind enough to send me a picture of how you placed the adhesive pads please? Thank you

When fitting the rears, only one side will take a clip at the rear and instead on putting in the top of the frame put it to the side.
I found the included adhesive pads no good and after a few weeks, the deflector was coming away. I fixed it by buying some double-sided tape and placing it all around the frame of the deflector that goes inside the frame of the window. I trimmed away any excess tape.

When you first roll up the rear windows you might find that the window won't go up as the deflector blocks the windows access. Slightly pull the deflector away from the window and roll up the window. once the window is closed it will apply enough pressure to make the deflector adhere to the frame. Also next time you open the window and close it, the deflector shouldn't get in the way.

Hi Everyone a word of caution on these.

I had these on my last car a Seat and they were great so I bought a set for my son who has a polo GTI and he had them on the car for about a year and a half. He came out of his flat recently and some low life had removed the deflectors by just pulling them out. No damage to car and clips remained in situ. I would recommend glueing them in as the channels on the polo seem very shallow to me.

Is that really such a good idea? If someone tries to pinch them again, they'll damage the car in the process, and the dealer won't want them permanently fixed on at part-ex time.

I'd rather lose them with no damage than some damage.

The compromises that people are making in fitting these demonstrates to me that they're unfit for purpose.

Thank you, I tried the clip on the end as I seen in an earlier post but it caught the glass slightly on the way up and I didn't like the sound of it (not that I open the rears too often).
I watched the installation video beforehand and I seen on there the fella slightly pulled the deflector outwards to allow the window to go up clear, I haven't found any issues with closing yet, I did as per instruction and left them up for an hour or more on first closing which seems to have done the trick.
I'll order up some clear/black tape and do as you described, thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

No they’ve been great, no rattling noises, fit is perfect apart from the clips. Can’t complain really

It would be quite hard to get a pic of the adhesive pads cause you can’t see them once they are in, but I just placed 4-5 strips on the small lip and placed them in and held them there for a little while.

Tested them by giving them a pull and I’d have to use quite a bit of force to pull them out, so definitely won’t just full out on their own. I’ll probably replace the adhesive pads in a few months just to ensure they stay in

I've done exactly that on mine today and they will take a fair bit of pulling to get out, no chance of falling out. Thank you for your help, they have made a real difference to the buffeting sound with windows down that happened before fitting, been a really good purchase for the purpose I need them for, no need for me to shout instructions to pupils through my face mask anymore!!

Interestingly, I ordered another set for a colleague yesterday and just had a message from the eBay seller telling me not to remove them from the packaging until they have been faced up against the window to check length and curvature. Maybe there have been bad batches sent out before, I did point out that the clips were useless and that I had followed your advice and added some adhesive tape to my rear ones. I used Gorilla tape which is a little thicker than the Heko sticky stuff on the deflectors.

Thanks again for your help
