Try and fit them in a warm workshop having warmed them up first. It may help to prevent the breakages.

Yep as Bill said, done mine in my garage, which is heated, its the fronts that are a pain, I found putting the front in and then at the rear, leaving the top out, then get some more of the front, back to the back working towards the middle, then the last foot or so in the middle you can bend over downwards, in then up if that make sense.  2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)

Need to clean the car more often……. but seriously in the years that i had them, never had that problem with them.
See nowadays that statement would be so true! but back in the D2 days I was a proper sad car cleaner/polisher, now I really cant be arsed!

:roll laugh: :roll laugh: never personally had a D1 or D2, well the wife had a D2 but I never went in it, If memory serves me right, I seem to remember that the windows were not as steady as the D3, I mean they seemed to move about a bit when going up and down, weaker runners made of thinner ,material or thinner glass 2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)

Then you need to start cleaning the car, you even get to do some stretching when doing the roof and squats for the wheels, could even do 1 handed pressups and clean under the tyre. 2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)

Arrived yesterday and fitted today
Only took me 20mins I guess, did manage to snap a small piece off each end of one rear side deflector, obviously wasn't seated properly
All metal clips positioned as per piece of small paper instruction leaflet

Yep instructions are crap, only realised the first set I fitted that they are printed on the plastic bag they come in. 
Don't worry about the break, the window hold them up in place. 2015 D4 HSE LUX Kaikoura Stone(sold)
