Applying wind deflectors to your vehicle can help reduce wind noise, improve aerodynamics, and allow fresh air into your vehicle without excessive wind turbulence. Here's a general guide on how to apply wind deflectors to your vehicle:
Choose the Right Wind Deflectors:
You should ensure that you purchase wind deflectors specifically designed for your vehicle's make, model, and year. This ensures a proper fit and function. Please see our wide range of deflectors on that link.
Clean the Surface:
Before starting, clean the area where you'll be attaching the wind deflectors thoroughly. Use a mild detergent and water solution to remove any dirt, grease, or wax residues. Dry the area completely using a clean cloth.
Prepare the Adhesive Surface:
Most wind deflectors come with adhesive strips that adhere to the door frame. Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive side of the wind deflector to expose the sticky surface.
Test Fit:
Before fully attaching the wind deflector, do a test fit. Place the deflector onto the door frame without removing the entire adhesive backing. This allows you to ensure that it fits properly and aligns correctly with the door frame.
Position and Attach:
Once you're satisfied with the fit, carefully position the wind deflector onto the door frame. Start from one end and press firmly along the length to ensure a secure bond with the adhesive.
Apply Pressure:
After attaching the wind deflector, apply even pressure along its length for a few minutes. This helps ensure a strong bond between the adhesive and the vehicle's surface.
Allow Time to Set:
Some manufacturers recommend leaving the vehicle stationary for a specified time (e.g., 24 hours) to allow the adhesive to set properly. Refer to the instructions provided with your wind deflectors for specific guidance.
Check and Adjust:
After the adhesive has set, check the wind deflectors to ensure they are securely attached and aligned correctly. Make any necessary adjustments if needed.
Repeat for Other Windows:
If you're applying wind deflectors to multiple windows, repeat the above steps for each window, ensuring proper alignment and adhesion for each deflector.
Maintenance:
Periodically inspect the wind deflectors to ensure they remain securely attached. Clean them regularly using a mild detergent and water solution to remove dirt and grime.
Safety Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when applying wind deflectors to ensure proper installation and functionality. If you're unsure about the installation process, consider seeking assistance from a professional or someone with experience installing wind deflectors.
