Ducto Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Has anyone tried these spoilers over the top part of the front windows and do they interfere or make it hard work for the electric windows to push up past them please? They would be ideal for extra ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Your photo is of a ‘genuine’ Fiat-marked wind deflector http://www.glynhopkinpartsonline.co.uk/product/Ducato_Wind_Deflectors_(Pair)_2006MY-_50901494 so one might expect (!!!) that it should not cause window-closing problems. This 2010 discussion may be of interest http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/2007-Fiat-Ducato-side-window-wind-deflectors/20046/ Worth adding perhaps that there are alternative wind-deflectors/ventilators being marketed (examples here) http://www.motorhomeessentials.com/wind-deflectors.html http://www.van-locked.co.uk/Shop/Vans/Fiat-Ducato-~-Sept06TOcurrent/Wind-Deflectors.html http://www.leisureoutlet.com/caravans-and-motorhomes/spares-and-fittings/roof-lights-and-vents/7367-nova-ducatoboxerjumper-tailored-window-vents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea Cup Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 goldi - 2016-12-01 2:17 PMGood afternoon , I got a pair from Micks garage and they work ok. normSo did I. Very pleased with them, I could drive all day with the drivers window, a boon in hot weather. An inexpensive improvement to driving comfort.

david lloyd Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi ducto Yes, I have had these wind deflectors on several Ducato based Motorhomes, panel vans and now a coachbuilt. In fact, it's the same set I bought from a company called automotive_jandj on eBay, fairly easy to fit and remove - just need to replace the double sided tape for re-use. Mine are Heko wind deflectors and they can be a tight fit. Initially on this coachbuilt the Windows slowed down quite a bit just nearing the fully closed position. Had them on a year now and have noticed it has eased off and they open and close without any difficulty. Have to say they are one accessory I feel are worth having - especially good in wet weather when the demist function doesn't clear everything but with the window down just an inch or so it clears the glass without rain or wind entering the cab.

Rayjsj Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Mine are Heko make too , very easy to fit, as has been said the window motors seem to struggle at first, but soon bed in, very handy being able to have the window open and not getting rain pouring in. Even onsite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducto Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Not sure yet how to reply to all users so" Hi Thanks for all the links but today, what I've been looking for popped up! I've had these on a VW T4 for the past 13 years with no problems: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231450358780?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They're stuck around the outside of the window so no interference with the window channel and possible expensive motor burn-outs. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lloyd Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I've never tried the ones that simply stick on the outside of the window Ducto so cannot comment on them but I do prefer the more integrated look of the ones that fit into the channel. As others have said, once they bed in the window goes up without undue stress on the motors. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
