That price isn't too bad (€41) for a pair.

What makes Heko so desirable?

I just ordered the eBay set. Don't think I'll fit the rear ones - I'm more concerned at reducing the rain ingress while driving.

Wouldn't these fit (full set but similar price)?

When i opened the site i got a message that a set has been bought in the last hour.

Wonder who that could be, owl?

I had the same thought on the ix20, but ended up fitting all four as it "evened out" the look :confused:

Do they stay in place without constant fiddling ?

Yep, they have four glued bits on the outside part which you take the protection foil off then slide up into the channel and metal clips which also slide into the channel with a bit of fiddling, the clips have a downward "barb" which prevent them coming back out and hold the deflector in place.  The instructions are not great (or they weren't with the ix20 ones), I found the best way was to position them on the top edge of the window and then let the window push them into place with the close button, a further push up with a flat screwdriver then a couple of shots at window up/down and it smooths back out to normal window speed.

Best to then not use the windows for 24h (leave closed), allows the glued parts to bond effectively.

Only slight issue was that the mirrors in folded position pushed against the lower edge of the deflector on the ix20, don't know if that would be the case on the i30.

They are also listed at Korean Auto Imports at a reasonable price :link: 2012+ i30/ Elantra GT OE Smoke Tinted Window Visors Set 4pc - Korean Auto Imports

The one's installed on my car are the Mobis brand which don't use metal clips at all and is one 3M strip the complete length of the visor, Hyundai installed these for me for $30

I'm looking for a set of these as well, can anyone tell me if the back doors on the estate are the same as it's mainly for the back windows I want them for?

If you're buying from the same source as mine, use their vehicle compatibility checker.
