Has anyone put wind/rain deflectors in the side windows?

Postby Damien89 » Sun Oct 11, 2015 8:37 pm

As per title, has anyone put wind/rain deflectors? Because when the windows are down too much wind enters the cabin and when its raining to much water enters the cabin even if the windows are lowered just a tiny bit.

I've seen some around, but not sure what models they fit, definitely seen them on the post mk4 transits.

Cheers fella, wanted it to stand out a bit, would have got another sport but dont do them on mk8, had them fitted from day one so not sure on speed of windows, but they do seem a little slower than on the mk7

Without them the windows are still slower than the mk7 windows.
Thanks!

Hi guys,

We stock the Genuine MK8 wind deflectors from Transit at slightly less than the RRP (http://www.vandemon.co.uk/product/wind- ... rs-vy3044/). The wind deflector will effect the speed of the window as they fit into the window channel but this is usually easy solved with WD-40 or similar down the vertical edge. Once they've been fitted for a while (i.e. a couple of months) and have worn in, they're fine.

Cheers,
Oliver

In the US, our Ford offering is available only with adhesive attachment, but it is pretty bomber. Good fit and look.

No mate still havent got any fitted, its been a dry winter here so didn't really need them, maybe will buy a set when winter starts approching.
