wind deflectors

Post by jordyp »

just wondering if theres any way to safley secure the wind deflectors so they cant come off as had clips what came with them and fitted looked good and that then someone stole them on monday morning got them back today as i knew exactly who it was who stole them and the clips were still in the window after they were stolen and the boy who had them had glued and double sided taped them to his without the clips and they pulled straight out. any help will be perfect

no clips on mine, there just kind of held in place by the wing mirror and the door frame and glass etc. i've had my window open doing 80+ and they havent budged. and wen you try to pull them out they dont budge.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
