Side window deflectors are a popular accessory for Mitsubishi Outlander owners looking to enhance their driving experience. These deflectors allow you to keep your windows slightly open during rain or while parked, improving ventilation without letting in water or excessive wind noise.

Choosing the Right Side Window Deflectors

When selecting side window deflectors for your Mitsubishi Outlander, consider the following factors to ensure a perfect fit and optimal performance:

  • Compatibility: Ensure the deflectors are designed specifically for your Outlander model year to guarantee proper fit.
  • Material Quality: Look for durable, UV-resistant acrylic or high-quality plastic that can withstand weather conditions.
  • Installation Type: Choose between stick-on (using adhesive tape) or clip-on types depending on your preference and ease of installation.
  • Style: Decide if you prefer the slim, low-profile look or a more pronounced design for added wind protection.

How to Install Side Window Deflectors on Your Mitsubishi Outlander

Installing side window deflectors is generally straightforward and can be done at home with minimal tools. Follow these steps for a smooth installation:

  1. Clean the Window Area: Use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface around the window frame thoroughly. This ensures strong adhesion.
  2. Test Fit: Hold the deflector up to the window to confirm alignment and fit.
  3. Remove Adhesive Backing: Carefully peel off the adhesive tape backing on the deflector.
  4. Attach the Deflector: Press the deflector firmly onto the window frame, starting from one end and moving to the other.
  5. Secure and Set: Hold in place for a few minutes, and avoid rolling the windows down for at least 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure.

With proper selection and installation, side window deflectors can enhance your Mitsubishi Outlander's comfort and style while providing practical benefits for everyday driving.
