Has anyone fitted rain deflectors or had experience of them?

How do they look?

Fed up of the water pouring in through my window if I have it even slightly open (i'm a naughty smoker ) so was thinking of getting them but worried they'll look a bit cr*p!

Now that its got to that time of the year, it's beginning to bug me.

I assume they'd look better/more discreet on a black car?

Any opinions please! Thanks guys n gals x

I have the same problem - I'm a smoker too. I really hate the way the rain/wind deflectors look so have to get a bit wet............ or wear rubber

They do look pants then?
Thought about getting them before but the weather cleared up and I got the idea out of my head
- but now i'm beginning to remember how annoying I found it last time!
It really is the only hang-up i've got with the car.
All seems to be going so well until I swing a left and it's like half a bucket of water pours down the inside of my door!!
(possibly a slight exaggeration there - maybe more like a cup!)

Anyone else have any opinions?

Is it a mod that can be fitted and removed easily through seasons?

I got em - quite like them to be honest and I never get wet

like the look of them where can you buy em from?? any side on pics

Hmmm, not as bad as I thought....

Can they be easily removed and put back on??

Ohh I'd never smoke in my car!!!! I always find a place to pull over and do it, saves mess and smell and potential damage

Same here. Takes me ages to get anywhere .

Well, I got them through the post a couple of days ago and got them put on. Really relieved, they don't look too bad at all and sooo easy to install.
Paid just £11 plus postage from Germany and they arrived within 3 days.

I'd heard from others that wind noise could be a problem but tbh, I haven't even noticed.
If there is, then its marginal. I have music on when I drive anyway!

After days on end of downpours and snow, it hasn't actually rained since I put them on.

(Maybe thats what they're really about....special powers to stop rain completely!!)

hmmm i may have to get me some of these as my car has a fair amount of wind noise anyway with the windows shut so shouldn't make much difference
when i pull off my driveway backwards after a night of rain, when i have the window open to see where i'm going, i get soaked

how long did yours take to come through Charlie?

Just saw your post. But yer they are well easy to install charlie as you probably know by now! lol. Sadly tho one blew off the other week so I just removed my other one. Good price tho! I payed £20 odd for mine.

They took 3 days to come through after I paid, which I thought from Germany was pretty good.

Here is the link to the guys eBay shop...he does loads for all different cars.
HEKO (filtered down to Polo's)

I waited until he put a set on with a 'best offer', and he accepted £11.

It still hasn't rained so i'm contemplating cleaning the car...what's the betting that'll start it off!

Took a few pics of them on...

i think they look quite smart to be honest!

me too look mint stopped smoking now but hey ill get some anyway cos look quite tidy nice shape too! nice wheels too!
