ClimAir wind deflectors are a practical addition to your car that allows you to open the windows slightly, even when it rains, without getting water inside the car. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install ClimAir wind deflectors.
Tools and Materials:
- ClimAir wind deflectors (suitable for your car model)
- A clean cloth
- Optionally a plastic spatula or similar
- Silicone spray or soapy water (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Start by parking the car on a flat surface and ensure that the windows are clean.
- Wash the area around the window frame with a clean cloth to remove dirt and dust.
-
Check the Wind Deflectors:
- Unpack the ClimAir wind deflectors and check that they fit your car model.
- Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully, as there may be specific instructions for your particular car model.
-
Prepare for Installation:
- Roll the window all the way down.
- Check that there are no obstructions in the window frame.
-
Installing the Front Wind Deflectors:
- Start with the front wind deflectors.
- Begin by inserting the top part of the wind deflector into the window frame. Ensure that it fits correctly and follows the contours of the car.
- Slowly work your way down along the sides of the window frame. Use a plastic spatula if necessary to help position the wind deflector without damaging the window frame.
- Once the wind deflector is in place, roll the window up and down a few times to ensure it moves freely. Pay attention to any resistance or strange noises that may indicate incorrect installation.
-
Installing the Rear Wind Deflectors:
- Repeat the process with the rear wind deflectors if your car has them.
- Follow the same procedure as for the front wind deflectors, and be careful to ensure they fit correctly and are secure.
-
Completion:
- Once all the wind deflectors are installed, keep the windows closed on the car for at least 24 hours. Then check that the windows can roll up and down freely.
- Wipe off any excess silicone spray or soapy water with a clean cloth.
Tips:
- If the wind deflectors are tight, you can use a small amount of silicone spray or soapy water to ease installation.
- Make sure not to force the wind deflectors into place, as this can damage them or the window frame.
- If the windows have difficulty closing completely after installation, keep them closed for a few hours or overnight to allow the rubber to adapt to the new shape.
- When installing, ensure that the wind deflector is warm. Let it sit in the sun before installation or indoors by a radiator. If it is cold, there is a risk of it breaking when you push it into place.
Now your ClimAir wind deflectors are installed, and you can enjoy the benefits of fresh air, even in the rain, without getting water inside the car.
