Well, me and stu held it while he fitted it 
Double sided tape is your best friend! Along with the original clips if you can, they just clip onto the plastic door frame trim thingy.

I know next to no one has fitted wind deflectors because they either can't get their hands on them or they're already on their Type-Rs but I'm very unsure of how to do it. I took my least broken deflector to my car and offered it up but to me it's not obvious at all so if anyone can give me advice, tips or a guide I'd be your friend! Cheers. |

Sue did, Dave. [quote="HughieW"]I helped Andy fit his Well, me and stu held it while he fitted it Double sided tape is your best friend! Along with the original clips if you can, they just clip onto the plastic door frame trim thingy.[/quote] I can't see how they clip on?  I've taken some pics.The bit the arrow points at is the bit that I guess the clips go into but if I force those clips in there it's going to scratch the paint. It just doesn't look like it's how it's meant to go?  There are some bits where the gap is pretty much non-existant.[img]http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2059/img0260hp.jpg[/img] [img]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6681/img0263li.jpg[/img] |

The clips go in upwards  rather than between the plastic bit and the paint, it's between the plastic bit and the glass, and they don't rub the glass either

(Horrible pun to use when you've opened up broken wind deflectors!) But it did! Thanks Hughie. [img]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/539/img0265so.jpg[/img] |
