I've only ever fitted wind deflectors to two cars many years ago, my Polo and my brother's Micra. We used Team Heko wind deflectors, good and sturdy and tinted. Make sure you run the window up and down to ensure they're seated properly, I didn't (as an enthusiastic 18 year old) and knackered the regulator on my Polo. There's also iSpeed which are similar. Climair is another well known brand, and Volvo do their own however both them and Climair look a bit chunkier and not as nice as Heko.
Hope this helps.

its a partial aesthetic reason but also for circulation, whether the benefit is worth it as its around 90 quid for 4 |

You got me thinking about these things.
They let you park and leave the windows open "an inch, or so". They can scream "aftermarket" if too large. The ones in that heko catalog looked good. You don't see them in the NE US often at all. You'll see them mostly on pick-ups. |

I went for the Heko option.. and after a bit of fettling (i have since added extra clips) they fit nicely and dont look to bulky or boy racer

I realise mine is a XC60 but another shout for the Team Heko deflectors.
They have been on since I bought the car in 2017, look just the same. |

Yeah, gotta say it does make a huge difference, i tend to cart bikes and other bits around and also found it does help keep it cooler when parked up in the sun, also does look kinda cool (as much as a 50 year old bloke in an old Volvo can)

These Hekos are the best looking I've ever seen.
Was acquiring "extra clips" easy to do or was shipment from Poland required? That's my overall question, being in No. America. It's likely too big a deal to buy these things. If a UK company was my source, I'd have another layer of profit & shipping to pay for. |
