Ok so im no mechanic, a diy fitter at most, granted a good fitter says my M8 the mechanic but to fit these was a piece of P**s. You get an easy to follow diagram that even a fool like me can follow but, i sat at the PC & watched the video of an identical more expensive set with a cup of tea & my wife (the boss.) i could fit that she said, go on then says i, ok well you do the washing & hoovering then! er, erm no contest so i got on & fitted it all. Yes it is as easy as it looks, dont be afraid, yes they bend & they're well flexible, (they've got to be) i was well frightened the bits were going to snap but not so by a long shot. Like the instructions say, offer up & fit before removing the sticky tape covering, do this on every window as i say, because although i put the 2 back doors together (opposites of course, im not that stupid) they were identical. So away i went, front 2 fitted fine, took the tape covering of & back in they went, up went the small metal channels about 1inch long, ping! 2mins later there it is on the floor, a smallish flat screwdriver to push up, (all easily explained in instr.) I can do this, im a professional now. Now the back doors. yeah this one fits, off with the sticky covering & ram it up followed by channels, sorted just like the fronts. now the back offside, oh sod it, it was identical so just take the tape covering of & ram it up, oh shit it dont fit, it rocks in the middle DERRR! pull & lever out with screwdriver, car must have bend in door top, going to have to file this wind deflector down, erm what with, ok so im the man thats got everything, a Black and Decker Powerfile done the job a real treat. If i'd had been doing it by hand with a manual file, the amount of times i had to reoffer it back up (think it was 4) id still be there. Once done, new 2 sided sticky tape on it & back in, you wouldnt know. OK! now sound, what sound. We live between J24 & J25 M25 yup the car park lol, so we went for a test drive, windows open from 1inch to right open at all speeds right up to 70mph officer cough, cough, not enough sound from outside to detract me from the radio, road reports, GPS, apart from being able to hold a perfect conversation with me wife (the boss) could hear her perfectly (damn lol) Got no excuse that i cant hear her moaning now & she said that! Going over The Queen Elizabeth bridge at 50mph in centre lane, loads of traffic, with the front 2 windows 3/4 open & back passenger window 1/2 open with our 29 yr old daughter in back who has a hearing defect in both ears, all 3 of us were having a conversation & still listening to the radio saying theres a holdup on the 25 & our darling daughter said tell us something we dont know. These deflectors are pretty good to say the least. Me wife just reminded me that i forgot to say that YIPPEE! they stop the rain coming in, & when i spray the windows she dont get wet lol. Have yet to go through a car wash obviously not with windows open, dont think they'll stop that much water ha ha & just hope they dont get ripped off, (shut up peter dont tempt fate.) if it does i'll blame the boss cos she wanted them, although as said, they do look bloody spanking on our silver car with clear windows.Read full review

I bought these so I can have the windows down a little for ventilation when it’s raining. They were super easy to fit and give my aging Mondeo a bit of a facelift too. Great product!

Parcel arrived quite promptly, presumably from Poland by looking at the plastic packaging. Well wrapped by sturdy cardboard box. Initially, I thought I couldn't see any instructions in terms of little leaflet. However, there are some diagrams on the packaging but those are not what I discovered first. I noticed a website address saying video instructions. So I went online to have a look at their website. Not immediately apparent where the instructions were. So I tried to find my product, which is Mondeo MK4 wind deflectors. I couldn't find the specific one without going through all the pages of different car models. So I just clicked on any wind deflector and found some videos underneath. I then watched the first one, which is generic installation. The video was like 3 mins. Easy enough to understand. When I came to install the deflectors today, it was fairly straightforward. Peeling off the double sided tapes on the edges of the deflectors. Put it in and then shoveling a couple of clips into the window groove. Test the window operation. Job done. They look smart. On their website, they say they have been making high quality wind deflectors for years. One can tell. I have to wait for a windy and/or a rainy day to truly test the performance of them. They look sturdy and good fit enough to withstand some wind and rain. Only gripe is the website isn't intuitive. You need to dig around a bit.Read full review

Bought these for my son who wasted no time fitting them. Easy to fit within minutes. Alot easier on the children with these fitted when dad has his window open. Cheaper than others which is great. I'd definitely recommend this product.

Do what there meant to do, the back ones fit in a little loosely and needs the clips to hold it and if there not warm I.e. Kept inside in a warm place before fitting they can snap parts off as mine did. Luckily you can't see it as it's under the seal... cheap and cheerful, do the Job OK
