Take it it's the one with the pics of the orange Audi?

If you look at his fairly recent feedback and search for Leon you can see if anyone bought for a leon and what feedback they gave..

Try searching for feeback from last 12 months, filter for negatives and search for any negs based on the leon ones. (I did see one german positive). This could mean it was delivered and feedback left before fitting but thats something you will never know unless someone says.. fits like a dream etc..

Try searching completed items of leon ones and see what the results were of those transactions.

Is this the ones?

They are cool these days, fancied a set myself for my civic and for this car.. Probably more likely to see them on Euro style inspired cars which as we know are a big thing these days.

I think they would look good on the new leon as long as they fit right.

Hi K4ith


The front ones are quite a tight but they do have double sided tape on them just to keep them tight against the seal. The rear ones have clips to hold the deflector against the window seal plus the double sided.

The instructions which is in pigeon english say the the ambient temp must be above 20C. You install the units then close the windows & leave them up for half an hour for the tape to stick.

I'll let you know what happens. :whistle::whistle:

Sorry to dig up an old thread. Was thinking about getting a set of wind deflectors as I think they would look well on the car and especially on the luna grey.

Has anyone else purchased/fitted these and what the fit is like after a period of time?

Did you order them through ebay?

Was there any impact on the usage of the electric windows or have the scratched the top of the windows at all?
