Hi, can anyone tell me the cost of wind deflector, i am looking for the orginal skoda. I was told by the dealer that if i were to fix the after market ones than the door rubber will start sagging and eventually the wind deflector would fall off and make the car look ugly, where as the orginal wind deflectors from skoda would go under the rubber on the metal. can anyone tell me the present price for all the four doors.

for those who do not know: winddeflectors are usually made of plastic and these are fitted on the car window frame where the glass comes and closes the window.
Advantages: during rainy season the water from the door frame will not drip on to your power window buttons, you can keep the glass half opened and this will act as a de-frost this will inturn lead to less usage of AC.

I was at the service station yesterday and saw a Fabia fitted with Skoda wind deflectors.
One of the window was not operating properly due to the deflector, it was hitting it. They removed it. It was a neat job as it was not stuck on top like you said. Didn't ask the price but it was on their website sometime ago.

This was what I was talking about, only that it used to be on the Skoda website.

It seems to be a Gujrat based dealer. Interestingly they have a service center in Vapi. I drive to Vapi quite often. They can come in handy in case of emergency Smile

Pravin and I are also planning to go to SC this Saturday.

Come along with us, we will try to find a way. Hopefully someone we know will be there this time. Just be prepared to spend more time as these guys seems to be overwhelmed currently. A new SC is coming up, till then we will have to live with that.

That is the 'limp mode' where the car just drives at a very low speed, sufficient enough to take you to a service center.

Good to hear the issue is sorted.

Oh sorry did not see that, I did go to the service station and got the DRL lights on 500ml of oil top up - total 900 bucks.
