Wind deflectors go by with many names, such as side window spoilers, rain guards and wind visors. All these terms refer to the same product. Wind deflectors are small roofs for the top of your car windows. These ?roofs? ensure that rain and wind can't enter your car while your window is down. This way, you can open your car windows in all weather conditions.
Benefits wind deflectors
Wind deflectors must be installed on the side windows of your car. Below you can read more on how to fit wind deflectors. Wind visors ensure a comfortable car ride with the car windows down. They also ensure natural air circulation in the car. In addition, it is an ideal solution for cars without air conditioning. When driving on the highway with your windows down, you often have to deal with wind noise. Using wind deflectors will decrease wind noise enormously. Another advantage is that you can leave your window (partially) open during rain, hail or snow, both while driving and standing still.
Wind deflectors are therefore multi-functional. Due to the good air circulation, you will also have fewer problems with fogged windows. Wind visors are also ideal for smokers, because smoke does not get stuck in the car anymore. The design of the deflectors will ensure that smoke will be sucked out of the car.
How to fit wind deflectors
It is very easy to install wind visors. You can fit them as follows (a manual is included); first, open the windows completely and clean the window frame. First, place the bottom of the deflector on the side where the exterior mirror is to be found. You place the visor into the window rubbers. Then, insert the other end into the upper corner of the car window. Now, while both sides are fitted, you must bend the deflector so, that you can slide it into the window rubber. For this, you have to use both hands. Note: do not use a hard object such as a screwdriver. These can cause damage to your car or even tear the rain guard. Next, you must press the wind deflector clips (if supplied) into the door rebate.
