Wind Deflector

I got a lucky strike yesterday, as I accidentally found a parked Jimny on the street, which had the factory wind deflectors on. I took all the time I needed and measured them all around.

The only downside of that method is that it took longer to explain what I was doing to a worried suspicious neighbor of the car's owner, than it took to do the measurements themselves.

Did you say "Just seeing if they'll fit mine"

That's what I initially replied, and after that the conversation went rather downhill for me for the next couple of minutes

Not me. Mine fitted in the channel and were fine, I just dislike them so much being too big I removed them.

I have the Heko type fitted without any issues ......

Glad you said that Tadpole my new Heko ones should be here today

My electric windows really struggled with mine and I had installed them correctly maybe I should get some suzuki or helko ones??

I had some genuine zuki ones that fit into the window channel and they were great just off roading last month shed them thanks to a tree

You should be fine, make sure they are located correctly & pushed with the clips well into the channel ..
A warm day I think also helps as with all things 'plastic' ....

To round up the topic:

I got a reasonable offer from my local Suzuki dealer on a pair of original Suzuki wind deflectors for Jimny (P.N. 00800-87530-000).
They cost me around 45 EUR for a pair.

So I bought them in summer 2015 and had them installed by the local Suzuki dealer, in order to have them take the risk of breaking the deflectors during installation.
I watched them performing the installation, and it was a "tense" job - they really had to bend the deflectors hard in order to make them fit in the doors. I wasn't breathing waiting for the deflectors to snap, but they didn't.
After the deflectors slipped inside the windows in the doors, they were not bent any more - they fitted like a glove.

The deflectors came with taped glue on the "brow" which slips into the door, but I chose not to remove the tape, so the deflectors did not glue inside the doors, they were simply mechanically held inside. They never fell out.

Anyway, I the package came with paper installation manual, which I saved, and scanned it.

I provide the scanned installation manual here in PDF format for public convenience.
