Hi Craig ;D
as Locky says indeed the Granada one will fit but please ensure that when come to fit it and you drill the holes for the bracket screws in the roof you measure down ACCURATELY otherwise you will have a gap at each end between the deflector and the roof. There is no margin for error!

Just a small suggestion, when I fitted my deflector I turned the seal on the sunroof around to face forward so that the deflector might give some protection to the joint from the weather. I also at the time sealed the joint with a flexible silicone gasket cement and applied silicone grease around the rest of the seal to prevent future rust as well as waxoyl the sunroof. Taking into account that it is a brand new. Just becareful if you decide to do this as the seals tend to attach themselves to the sunroof as they rust and this may cause more problems than it is worth >:(

and lastly the door window deflectors when fitting use a liitle washing up liquid along the edges this helps with fittment. I had them on my Granada but removed them as the window used to squeek with them >:(

Best wishes

Mike
