   just about to fit my heko wind deflectors...
   
   noticed on the instructions it shows something being inserted into the channel as well as the wind deflector... like an upside down v.
   
   the instructions dont mention putting anything in the gap and i didnt get anything else other than the two deflectors??
   
   am i missing a part? or do you just slot them into the gap?
   
   the same gap that the window goes into? i dont need to peel the seal forward to put it between the seal and paint?
   
   thanks for any help

   No mate as far as I know they just slot in to where the window would slot into

   my heko ones went in really easy on the saxo, at one point at the back edge of the window (vertical flat bit) it was starting to get a bit bendy though! just dont be silly with them. To aid them going in get some soapy water along the seal and edge of the deflector. Should see them slot in with ease. Then leave them for a bit to 'bed in'
   
   Start from the front and work backwards
