I'm not really a fan of wind deflectors but those look quite good. DO you find it restrictive to stick your head out the window then the window is down?

#3 by Bootsie , Thu May 17, 2012 5:27 pm

I have them and find them pretty good, the pooch still manages to get its head out the back windows ok.

No these are fine I stuck my head out to reverse wen I got home and they were fine they don't come down the window too far and look nice from the inside smoked out .......

I might actually consider a set then.

A little warning, i got those for about a year ago and when i clean my truck the clips that holds the ones in the front lets in a little amount of water on the inside of the window.
And if you are wearing a baseball cap you will strike the tip of it when you withdraw your head from the window, not much of a problem

Better than the big massive ones which I hate with a passion.

#9 by LezT , Thu May 17, 2012 7:43 pm

Lee, same as mine never had any problems mate.

#10 by leep59 , Thu May 17, 2012 7:51 pm

Me thinks I got a lot for my money

#11 by ColinTheCop , Thu May 17, 2012 8:04 pm

My truck came with them, no issues with water ingress, however I can't help but feel when you wind the window down just a little it's noisier.

#12 by LezT , Thu May 17, 2012 8:22 pm

Colin, pop the back one open just a little, I was amazed at the difference, thanks to Warriorbez for this tip, lets the air flow through rather than battling to get in and can't.

Will road test this theory in the morn
I can't believe most of the other stuff on ebay is the same price but for two only

#14 by LezT , Thu May 17, 2012 9:24 pm

Lee, it works mate, i was sceptical too but Matt was 100% right.

I have to say that I'm with the nay-sayers on this. My mum had wind deflectors on her 1977 Citroen gs palas and I've always thought them a bit naff.
Honest question; do you think they look cool on a truck?

#16 by Bootsie , Thu May 17, 2012 10:28 pm

I think they look cool on the truck and several people have said the same, not obtrusive and its nice to have a window open when its raining and not get soaked. I think they blend best with a black truck though and would always go with the ones that fit inside the window channel but thats just personal preference.

#17 by TwedL200 , Thu May 17, 2012 10:32 pm

i've got them ones on mine any think they're pretty good. was expecting them to be a tad bigger bit theyre fine. ordered a set for our rodeo too!

must agree there colin!

I like the wind deflectors on the truck.Having a smoke when its rainning means the inside don't get wet.Having the rear window open a tad aswell lets the wind blow through

#19 by leep59 , Thu May 17, 2012 11:10 pm

I love the look of them also will be a good spot for a l200 forum sticker ....

On a proper truck ?...yes...................................on a silver cross...?....................far too much of an improvement to be cool

#22 by LezT , Fri May 18, 2012 8:36 pm

Lee, I'll have some small stickers for the deflectors when we have the meet ... and a large sticker for the tub.....and a large sticker for the windscreen..........and some mugs.....and some polo shirts..................wallet bashing.......

#23 by leep59 , Fri May 18, 2012 8:39 pm

Is that everything lol I like the look of the mugs actually. I'm gonna have to bring a bit of cash wiv me

#24 by 4x4joe , Fri May 18, 2012 8:44 pm

Ivw got the Heko "in channel" wind deflectors, havent had a chance to fit them yet but i reckon they look smart.

#25 by leep59 , Fri May 18, 2012 8:47 pm

Yes they look well smart when they are in just remember once there in leave the windows shut for 24 hours to let the rubber window channels bed in. I cleaned the rubbers with baby wipes then dried them with an old cloth before installing
