Wind deflectors - bad for paint or not?

I know, I know Rolling Eyes some people not mad about the look of them but last year I bought some to fit and I'm hoping to chuck them on this weekend coming.

Question I have is that if they go on and I find I dont really like them Rolling Eyes , if I take them off, will the paint work be Censored underneath?

It could be argued I need to respray my car anyway due to some rash but I dont want it peeling off in lumps if I decide to bin the deflectors


Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thumbs Up A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

hi tanters,

there shouldn't be any problem, it's only double-sided sticky servo tape being used, it may leave a bit of glue residue from it, but nothing that a bit of glue remover can't shift (again without paint damage)

We have the wind deflectors on ours (already fitted when we bought it) and they seem to work in a way, i.e. let window down a couple of inches whilst raining and you don't get wet etc, but i'd say they seem mostly for show really.
