Hi,
It's been a few years ( and cars) since I had a C5 Aircross... but I fitted a set of PSA deflectors.. you can see my topic here> viewtopic.php?t=751
Hope this helps..
I think they are more 'rain deflectors' than wind to be honest..
Wind noise is considerably increased with them fitted... but a major benefit is being able to have the window open about 40 - 50mm without the rain coming in.
Also great if you have a coffee in the car in winter, as the windows doesn't mist up.
On the C5AC the final fitment is better than on other Citroens I have used them on (C4), but they do distort the window rubber... and are only pressure fitted.
Since then I have always used Heko versions.. which are a much better profile and fit.. but they use metal clips to retain them..
The noise issue remains no matter which type you use..
Cheers

Hi. StewiesC5.
Not much to add to what BusybeasC5A has said really..
I found them easy to fit and they are quite a bit smaller than some aftermarket versions thereby, in my opinion, giving a neater finished job.
You do only get the front windows covered, whereas other makes give you all four for a similar price..
I wanted to stay genuine so for me it was a no-brainer.
