Wind deflector attachment

[Benja]

Hi,

 

New Alphard owner (Alphard 2004, 2.4 camper)

 

For some reason the van has no wind deflectors on driver side front or rear door.

 

i have found a scrap yard that will sell me some (£40, is that ok price?)

 

the front door has some small brackets that look like I could attach a replacement to, but the rear door doesn’t

 

does anyone know if I can:

 

       - buy and fit these brackets

       - remove them in tact from the scrap vehicle along with the deflectors

 

thanks

Ben

I had a quick look on Aliexpress and found some for UKP 33.29. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007412234497.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.53.2c180Dzy0DzyTz&algo_pvid=a0cb904f-373c-477a-9a4d-e3b932bade79&algo_exp_id=a0cb904f-373c-477a-9a4d-e3b932bade79-26&pdp_ext_f={"order"%3A"2"%2C"eval"%3A"1"}&pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!75.66!33.29!!!673.13!296.17!%40!12000040652898708!sea!UK!6132551462!X&curPageLogUid=EdtADpcqAOm5&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A) you will want to check year and fit etc - this would be for my 05/2005 model.

Downside is that they would take some time to arrive.

I’ve just realised this shouldn’t be in hybrid - can it be moved?

 

although it doesn’t matter as the windows are the same..

Hi, thanks for the reply- it’s the small brackets that I’m wondering about for attaching the deflectors.

 

those Ali-express are adhesive ones, I might end up doing that but just wanted to find out about the brackets first

Hopefully someone will be along who can help with real knowledge 🙂

I bought a set of the stick on ones as garage broke one of mine. Worked fine. Had to buy as a set of four but were very reasonable.
