I can't work out where these go at all. they cant go in the window channel, and there is no space on the other side?

the cross head screw near the top of the channel - how odes that relate to the black retainer? its miles away.

so on the pic below, where do they go?

I've had wind deflectors on my Defender for over three years (stick-on)
Nearside one is fine but the offside one is useless because of the air disturbance created by the snorkel.

yes, literally Laughing

I got some from the link Karl posted. They are a VERY poor fit. Very poor indeed. So poor in fact that with the enclosed clips in place, and the flange of the deflector in the correct place, the window just cracked the top at the rear. So I'm going to email and let them know.

Check this out:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej1Sc01K1AU

Keep the deflectors in the warm until fitting. On my 90, nothing had to be removed from the windows prior to fitting, but I did use some Silicon spray in the glass groove and on the edge of the deflector.

Got my deflectors from here:- http://www.jjautomotive.eu/index.php?page=0&f1=1&lng=en

Cheers WG. I'd read the other comments and they'd been on a heater for 2 hours and were really flexible. It wasnt the fitting that broke it, it was the window due to the crappy fit.
