Talking Air Wind Deflectors

Can anyone tell me how the " Wind Deflectors" for the HHR are installed? Is there drilling required?

If you are talking about the window deflectors, it depends on the model. Some apply with tape, some of the in-channel are held in by pressure/friction. Hood deflectors typically have screws. Windshield visors use screws. Again, which are you talking about??

Which type deflector are you asking about? The one for the hood front or the one for the sunroof?

I bought both of mine from race and street and neither required any drilling and installed in about 10 mins. time.

I am talking about the deflectors that are attached to the four doors on the sides.

Either tape on or in the channel. No drilling.

The in channels snap into place. They are a tight fit, they aren't going anywhere!

I was thinking about getting the "in-channel" ones myself. If they "snap" into place, are they removable if you decide you don't want them any longer? That is usually my concern with add-on items - that at some point I will tire of them or want to change the look and I don't want to do any damage in the removal process.

The in channel ones that I got from race and street had 3m tape on them so those didn't snap in place but rather sticks to the inside of the rubber window molding.

As well as the 3m tape sticks I don't how easy it would be to remove them as I have never tried to take off anything that has been attached with the
3m stuff..

As well as they work and look I doubt that I would ever want to remove them..
