Wind deflectors on front doors/windows
« on: 07 October 2010, 10:51:40 »

I have brought some Wind Deflectors for the two front doors for my Omega.
However they do not come with any glue.

As they are intended to sit inside the rubber seal, what glue can i use that will be OK to use on plastic (the wind deflectors) and the cars soft rubber seal around the windows?
Some glue turns white when it dries, The glue I am looking for should be super strong and should dry clear.

Any suggestions...?

What you need is thin double sided tape (preferably clear)
I used 5mm number plate tape which was black and a little thicker than I would have liked, but it did the job very well indeed!  You may need to trim the unpolished flat section so the deflector is a good fit inside the seal, but take your time as once you've shaved it off there's no turning back! :y
