Looking for wind deflectors for my saloon, the cheaper option is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.it/Peugeot-406-saloon-1 ... 457wt_1141

what do you think? Anyone got some more pictures with them on or can testify the installation is easy?

from what they say, yes they are, they claim TUV certificaton too. They cost 30£+shipping and come from the shop J&J Automotive
BTW it should be sufficient to use a proxy server such as hidemyass.com to evade internet restrictions

i just had a look at these. i think they come from poland. mine did anyway.

i have this exact sort on my d9 estate. the only thing i would criticise is the deflectors in the rear doos do slip down a mm or 2 every now and then.

Good, so you recomend them?
I guess a small drop of glue would prevent them from moving while not making them unremovable.
At ca 40€ shipped they aren't cheap but on my black saloon I bet they would look good while adding functionality. (black=oven when under the sun, keeping windows slightly open helps)

they come with small 'v' clips which ensure the window will find the channel as they do 'relax' when the window is down past the deflector.

mine came with some double sided tape which sticks to the inside of the top seal. i fitted mine whilst it was damp, so i plan to renew this tape.

Well thanks for the tips mate, I'll probably get them even if they aren't cheap.

Half tempted myself to source a pair - nothing sucks more than 90+% humidity, 30 degrees and you have a summer storm. Fogs up like crazy!

These things are good things to have at the doors, i loved them when i had my clio. But here people think this stuff are only to old people, and not so sportive to have in the car ..

but does tinted deflectors are calling my attention :lol:

Better 2 for the front doors or 4 for all the doors? 4 cost almost double, but they look more uniform and are more useful.

your better getting the full set of 4 2 front ones look a bit odd, and that seller although eventually it was sorted isnt really fussed on selling the rear ones sepratley.
