Has anyone fitted front door wind deflectors to their t6, does it allow the front window to be left slightly open overnight to allow ventilation when sleeping downstairs, any recommendations on manufactures
 
Yep, sure does.

Three types to choose from; official VW one (which sticks on the door with tape...), Heko which sits in the channel ONLY with clips, and the CllimAirs which sit in the channel and pinned in place with a tiny screw.

Heko: https://amzn.to/4dJTXZd

ClimAir: https://amzn.to/4eZ2QiG

VW OEM: https://volkswagenpartsuk.co.uk/parts/transporter-t5-front-window-wind-deflectors/

We originally had Heko, which were ok....until they fell out and scratched the door as they dropped (they're sharp!).

We then 'upgraded' to the ClimAirs; far better quality but require you to put a tiny screw into the plastic window trim. But really - a tiny tiny screw and much better quality.

Personally, my ranking would be ClimAir, Heko, OEM (literally stuck on and dont look the best....)
 
Fitted ClimAir "clear" to our T6.1.but also OK for T 6.
Good quality, small screw no problem, don't obscure view, easy to fit.
Bought them direct from ClimaAir,.The guy there was very helpful.
Recommend, give them a ring.
 
Had hekos for seven years, the clips let you take them off for washing, they never fell out for me
 
What about an 07 T5 ?
Wan't them but appreciate advice/guidance from people on here.
Thanks

I agree the ClimAirs are good. You can have the windows down a couple of inches and nobody can see the windows are open. Good for stealth camping ;)
 
I have a pair of new, unused ClimAirs if that’s what you decide.
 
No need to use the grub screw. The fit is tight enough to secure them and for a little extra security I used a strip of double sided 3M foam tape. 18 months later, no issues.

Good idea!
