Climair wind deflector offer

Collected mine yesterday
Thanks for this just ordered myself a set
Do you need to screw them in ?
Yes, a small bracket and rubber insert. One screw in each. Put something underneath to catch the tiny screw when you drop it. A magnetic Phillips screwdriver would be helpful. 1mm dia drill bit. Looks tidy and quite simple to do.
One suggestion was if you don't have a 1mm drill bit, use a nail, or panel pin heated to melt a small hole. I found that less stressful

Sorry to join the party late, but I just sold my T6 and kept the Climair deflectors for my new 22 plate Kombi, as I was told they would fit new T6.1. They don't, as window keeps opening as deflector sits next to window channel very tight, no screw fitting, hence window won't close, just keeps kicking back.
I ordered a pair from Europarts and when collected they were for a Ford Fiesta, lol.
Does anyone know if the ones from Europarts actually fit a 22 plate T6.1 ?
I have just bought a set from Euro Car Parts for my 22 plate T6.1. They fit fine although my tip would be when you collect from the store, check the fitting kit isn’t missing and that they’re giving you the correct set of deflectors based on the Climair Part No.
Also, to save waiting for ‘stock’ to arrive which may never happen for you locally, you can call your local branch who can transfer stock from other stores. When I phoned recently they had a few sets dotted around the country but had some moved over so I was able to collect sooner than sitting in the email stock notification queue
Sounds as though you had the same experience I have!
The brackets were missing, but customer service just quoted the 'no screws or brackets' from the website.
I kept pestering the branch I picked mine up from and they posted some out to me special delivery . Failing that, Climair will send you some direct for £6 posted. Still works out cheaper overall compared to other shops I think.
Just for clarity, here's the official Climair installation video for the T5/T6
out of stock again?
showing none for delivery?

Have you called your local ECP branch? I think you’ll wait forever for them to ever be in stock online. Branches can transfer stock around the country which is how I got hold of my set
In stock but only for collection from store from what I can see
For the record I agonised over this but in the end realised I could use the carbide mini drills and a hand pin vice I have for doing PCB work.
Example on eBay.
The hand pin vice (finger drill) gives you a lot of control and the carbide drills are razor sharp, had the pilot hole in place very cleanly and simply with little stress.
Note for those hunting for a bargain:
1. You can get the carbide drills on their own but they won't work without a pin vice, you'll just instantly snap them in a regular drill.
2. You can get the pin vice on it's own with 100s of free HSS mini drills, don't use these drills they are "free" for a reason and tend not to bite and skid across the surface.
yep, I've ordered a set for collection tomorrow from Crayford branch.
