The car I originaly got the deflector off of had them stuck to the outside of the car.
I tried fitting them on the inside of the door frame, but they fall off too easily.

I've seen another 406 wth deflectors, they too were stuck to the outside of the door frame. In fact, a lot of other cars with deflectors have them stuck to the outside. I've seen Hondas, Fords, Nissans just about every make realy with them, most stick on the outside.

I have them Ebay ones to.... They do move about a bit but you save a fair bit of money compared to peugeot ones and the sticking on the outside looks kinda messy imo

I have the wind deflectors from optimex in Germany. Excellent fit and finish. They fit inside the window runners.
