My brother in law would like a set for his car.

Curious about the best quality / fitting brands.

Heko?  Climair?

Thanks!

I've had Heko on a few cars - fitment is spot on.
Whether they do much I'm not sure - i felt the need to make my car look different at the time!

I bought proper Heko ones for the camper having read some reviews online of cheap crap failing.

I've had a few different sets and never noticed a difference in quality. I wouldn't be surprised if they all come from the same factory.

They're really useful if you have a car where rain streams into the open window any time you take a corner on a wet day. Skoda yeti was like being hit in the crotch with a watering can until we fitted wind deflectors.

They allow you to crack your window and flick your fag ash out without blowback.

Not sure what they really do apart from stop the rain - they seem to make things louder.

On the van they allow us to sleep overnight with the windows cracked open and in really hot weather when the Aircon struggles to drive with the windows cracked without huge noise and buffeting.

Heko after the recommendation of my son. Not mad keen on them in general, but the van will be used for sleeping in occasionally, so open windows to reduce condensation without rain getting in.

If you're in a camper van, they allow you to leave the windows open slightly to stop condensation building up overnight.

If you're a chav in a Corsa, it allows you to look like your other mates who also have no idea why they fitted them.

Yeah, I have them on the campervan too. Heko. Been fitted for about 12 years. Easy fitment and no problems since.

Bought some Climair one for my car, but I forget the exact reason as it was 6 years ago, I ended up replacing them with Heko ones, which were better

Fair enough - i assume to stop the rain coming in..

EXCUSE ME... I think you'll find it was a Skoda Octavia 😉

Got some generic ones on my van, great for leaving a window open for ventilation without letting rain in but for actually deflecting wind, I dunno. Air con is so you can keep windows closed in the the summer innit?
