I’ve never really understood these, what do they actually do ?

You can open your window a bit for fresh air, without it raining in. Less wind noise in theory, etc. But mostly I think it's a style thing.

My experience of these devices from previous cars is that wind noise with the windows shut increases due to the deflectors and they add drag, not a lot, but some. I'll not be adding them to mine.You can open your window a bit for fresh air, without it raining in. Less wind noise in theory, etc. But mostly I think it's a style thing.

I fitted them on the ZS purely because I was fed up of getting wet. Every time I opened the window a touch, during or after rain, a small stream of water would run down the inside of the door and straight on to the window switches.
I shall be fitting them to the 4 for the same reason, I'm not concerned about wind noise or style TBH.

I've found that water collected on the roof actually drips into the cabin if the window is open when I turn corners, not had the chance to see if it still happens as much with them fitted

I was contemplating getting the £50 Heko ones but wasn't to pleased about £20 delivery charge.
I found these on Ali Express that don't have the chrome strip on, cheaper (£43) and free postage, but they add £10 tax.
As you can see in the pictures the front edge doesn't go down the vertical so it looks like better access to the mirror. I've ordered these, they're not due to arrive until April 24th so I'll update on the quality etc when they arrive.

I've nothing against the Heko ones as such. But for me personally those are better, I much prefer the ones that go on the outside, like those, as opposed to the ones that go in the window channel, look better too, only my opinion of course.I was contemplating getting the £50 Heko ones but wasn't to pleased about £20 delivery charge.

The quality of these is great, no silly chrome strip, all black and fit fine.
As you know the top window frame on the 4 is curved in profile and these are curved, but they come with double sided tape already attached only on the top part of the curve (and the flat vertical end attachments). A small roll of thinner (5mm) tape was supplied but there was only enough to do one and three quarters of the front deflectors, so I had to order some more off Amazon.
I fitted these today while the weather is hot and all went well. They look great and no interference with the mirrors etc.

I managed to source a full set of Hekos from ebay for 46 quid including postage and then received 8 off due to late delivery so only cost 38. I'm well impressed with them. They clip into window frame so no need to worry about sticky tape. Installation takes minutes, about as quick as you can roll down the windows and slide them into the window slot. The seller is currently showing no stock but worth watching for when they come back in. I can now open windows without any eardrum busting wind resonance. The original supplier/manufacturer is based in Poland and does not ship to the UK.
