Settling time
Once installed, keep the windows closed for 24 hours to allow the set to settle into the channel and the clips to set into place

The whole job

  1. Wind the window fully downAll the way, so the channel is clear and nothing is trapped when you start.
  2. Wipe the channelOne pass along the inside of the channel, so it is clean and dry.
  3. Seat the deflectorSlide the lip in at the front corner, then press it home a few inches at a time working backwards, exactly as a clip-free set goes in.
  4. Fit the clipsPush a clip over the deflector and the channel edge at each marked point, front first. They should click and sit flush — if one stands proud, the deflector under it is not fully seated.
  5. Raise the window slowlyHand-speed for the first close, checking it seals all the way along. Then repeat on the other side.

Worth knowing

  • Fit the clips front to back. Starting in the middle leaves the front edge slightly long and the last clip will not reach.
  • If a clip will not click home, the deflector beneath it is proud — re-seat that section rather than forcing the clip.
  • Keep the windows shut for the first 24 hours so the set settles into the channel, and leave the car wash for 24 hours too.
