Generally not.
They tape to the paintwork

thinking of maybe getting a sheet of acrylic from wickes and having a play with a heat gun and see what happens - I can use my standard Suzuki clip-in ones as templates

Not trying to dampen your enthusiuasm but I think you will struggle with the heat gun - it is too coarse a tool for the job - slightest over heating and it will bubble, you really need an oven and a decent former so it can be drape moulded. We have a couple of hot wire benders which are fine for straight folds and do quite a lot of work with plastic- vac forming etc and it isn't as easy as it sounds!

bending the horizontal section would be ok, as would the 70' vertical - but where they meet would be a proper arse
Does sound though as if you're the man to start production for the UK market

Can somebody, who has these genuine Suzuki wind deflectors, measure their size and inform us?
I need that because I do not live in UK, and these items are not available in my country (well they are from a local Suzuki dealer, but at a ridiculous price).
My idea is that a friend of mine buys them in UK, and then brings them over to me on his next pending visit.
As he will be coming by airplane, there is obviously a limitation on the size of the items which he can put in his luggage bags.
That is why I am asking for the dimensions. I would appreciate the dimension of each "section" of the deflector, as well as its diagonal dimension (the diagonal distance from one end to the other).
P.S.: Does anyone have an idea of the approx. weight of each deflector?
Kind regards!

They were originally stuck on and had clips; I spent ages removing the sticky residue on the doors. I left the residue on the deflectors for thickness and then I replaced them just using the clips.
