Wind deflectors... issues

[owenwestby1]

I've recntly bought some wind deflectors for my Leon and they look ace imo. However, I'm having a bit of a problem with the passenger side window. When I try to close the window, the window decides to go all the way back down because its thinking something is trapped in the window. Its opening so you don't get your head or fingers trapped, i guess!

My question is can you turn "anti trap your head/ finger safety function" off?

Or has anyone else had this problem and how did they overcome it?

Its only happening on the passenger side door, drivers side is fine.

Thanks in advance.

Yea, had this problem on my LCR when I first fitted wind deflectors - after a while the seals will form around the wind deflectors and it will stop doing it - other than that, perhaps put some kind of rubber lubricant on the seals to aid the window closing so it doesn't sense the resistance?

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Lube sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a go over the weekend.

make sure it is suitable for use with rubber ( ) - could damage your seals otherwise.

Danny, they're pretty easy to fit however I did snap a little bit off one of the 1st set I bought because I was heavy handed. Woops. They come with a fitting guide and take no longer than 2 mins a side. Easy and relatively cheap mod which looks good.

I've added a picture of my car with them fitted in my album on my profile because I don't know how to upload a picture in a thread

If you want more pics just let me know and I'll get some more done.

Where did you get the rear ones from if you dont mind me asking?

Vaseline works a treat btw. Window closes first time every time now. Thanks Dannyc87 for the suggestion.

Had the same problem with my wind deflectors when I fitted them, but they are ok now.
