Fitted smoked winddeflectors and a set of Amarok wheels I bought for a bargain (tyres included) and had painted gloss black. Looking mint! Going to remove the racks, cos it’s looking a bit busy now.
Ah - yes, I forgot to add - fitted the Climair winddeflectors. Takes about 1 minute per window. Main thing is to have someone holding the tiny little screw who can hand it to you very carefully.
Fitted new WindDeflectors.. changed the Heko’s - not my install but they had worked a little loose & only 2 clips inserted.
aesthetically better & actually sound better too..
changed the rear Halogens for LED’s last week.. oh yes.. look awesome..
next week there’ll be something else...
I got some Clim Air winddeflectors from my daughter. My family understand my DIY limitations and they reckoned fitting the deflectors would be about my limit. How right they were! :D
So another little update. I decided to do a test camp at the weekend in the van with the wife and newborn in tow.
I quickly realised winddeflectors would probably be a good idea and light switches are your friend so I’ve ordered some deflectors and a few spare remotes for my lights and...

Hi Dilbert, in "stealth mode" would you not have a curtain or something blocking the front cabin, which would reduce the ventilation from the front windows to the back?
I am mulling over what van to go for and this is one of the main points. Considering a Multivan as it comes with sliding...
I have had my Heko for about 6 months and they have both become unstuck in the corners. I got extra clips to put in place to hold it in but still drops, I am waiting for mine to fly off! wish there was a better way to secure them.

You have got to be careful as these are drainage channels for the roof.
Make sure no water builds up behind them.
I sealed mine in but burnt small holes through the bottom of them to let water out.
I just heated up a small nail to do this.
...60 mph the top flipped up. Horrible feeling.Once it happens to you once you will be putting straps on as well.
Yes there is a rubber winddeflector fitted.
I will still trust the latches for short jaunts in the summer, but I use my van all the time as a work vehicle, in the winter in the wind...
Winddeflectors - going on tomorrow morning
Wolfbox Dashcam - I am procrastinating with as I am scared to wire in to the reverse light cable, if I can even figure out how to route to it.
THQ replacements bulbs - yet to be delivered
If the bolt won't pull down far enough you could trim a bit off the end of it.
There should be a winddeflector rubber strip across the top of your windscreen that the roof lid sits just behind. On later roofs there was also a 'whistle strip' fitted just behind the winddeflector that the...
