   what tape comes with wind deflectors as standard? Is it like the flat double sided tape that has no thickness at all or is it the slightly thicker trim tape thats about 1mm thick foam stuff thats still very thin for trim tape...i've currently used the first kind but its a bit shit and i may change to the second style?

   Yeah i thought they had flat stuff on as standard....ive noticed though when you put the window up it like pushes the deflector toward the seal...i assumed the tape wasn't working but is it normal for the deflectors to move a little when the window goes up...i say move...it more just shuffles a little lol

   This is what I mean, you can see where the window just catches it and pushes it out, is it normal and not gonna mark the windows over time?

   Ah fair enough....i just didn't want it to mark the glass and as they are 106 deflectors I didn't know if it would do damage, cheers for the heads up mate
