Matrix Meanderer Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Help - I've been trying to buy a pair of cab window wind deflectors for my 15 plate Fiat Ducato based Adria - but without success to date. There seems to be two main suppliers HAKO and an Italian brand from MicksGarage.com. However, both suppliers have responded to my enquiries saying that they cannot supply wind deflectors for my Ducato model due to (a) Hako - cannot guarantee they will fit vehicles that have been converted from cab+chassis to motorhomes and (b) Micks - their Italian company does not make one for this Fiat!! Yes seriously. So does anyone know if it is possible to buy a pair of cab window wind deflectors that fit a 15 plate Ducato cab?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Fiat do their 'own' (short) ones: Part Number 50901494 There are several hits on Google, including: https://www.partsworld-uk.com/products/front-wind-deflectors-ducato-2006-on (there may be cheaper options) TBH, given that these generally fit (externally) in the window channel, I can't see why any of the common aftermarket ones (of which there are many sellers on eBay) wouldn't fit. (Though my own concern would be using external screens with them fitted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Mine are bog standard van ones, fit perfectly, actually why wouldn't they? The cab is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keninpalamos Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes, Heko. Have a look on eBay. I have some Heko branded deflectors on a Vito. But they do them for Ducato vans. But not sure what year van yours is so can't tell you for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Meanderer Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks all. My MH is a 2015 registered 250 model Ducato so the ones from the main Fiat dealers, where they have stock, seem to be the best bet. We have internal Remis pull up blinds so no issue with external blinds. Appreciate the quick replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lloyd Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Ian, have had a pair of the Heko ones (bought on eBay from automotive-jandj) for several years that fitted on van conversions - 2006 to 2010 models (X250) and then transferred to a 2015 Chausson coachbuilt (X290) with no problems. Not sure if the Fiat ones are the same but the Heko brand fit along the top and front edge of the opening window and are very good at deflecting wind/rain with the window open a couple of inches. The short ones that fit along just along the top may not provide the same sort of deflection. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have fited a pair of Heko deflectors, to my Fiat cabbed Auto-trail coachbuilt, when i traded it in for a V-line 600 i moved them over. SO provided your van has a standard Ducato door and isnt an A -class ? They WILL fit i got mine on E bay......as the above post states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Meanderer Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks for the further comments, helpful as ever on this forum. I would prefer the deflectors that fit on the front and top edge of the window rather than just the top edge (as the official Fiat spare parts do). Adria has not altered the door units externally on our motorhome, they have just added the Remis fan blind on the inside. So as advised the standard Ducato deflectors will fit. Now to find the best price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to find the best price! I would compare the two deflectors ie Fiat/Heko for style and price. Quite often these things are manufactured by specialists in what ever field. You may find that Heko make the deflector for Fiat. If it looks the same it proberbly is and a £ to a penny the one which is Heko branded will cost less.

Matrix Meanderer Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 UPDATE I bought a standard set of wind deflectors from Micks Garage, the Italian C3 range. Pleased to report back that I tried them for size and they fit perfectly. Have not fitted the metal clips yet but will do so soon. Thanks for all comments and suggestions.
