Wind Deflectors

Afternoon,

Anyone ever got these?

Link

Are they any good? Only reason I ask is sometimes when I drive and crack open my drivers side window, I get the old' helicopter noise until I crack open a rear window a little.. or vica versa...

Cheers

Andy

Best thing I ever bought for mine.

Just be ready for the tops of your windows to be etched with tiny scratches - unless you have the time to clean the channels every other day.

Thanks for info.. What's the tiny scratches coming from?

Scratching?

Wonder why the glass would scratch like that.. cosmetic obviously?

Unless these stick to the outside of the door frame, which they don't appear to, you'll find that dirt and grit gets trapped in the window channel which is what scratches the top edge of it.

It's very common. Some suggest it's incorrect installation, although there's only really one way to install a window deflector, others suggest it's a lack of cleaning - it's purely cosmetic and you can't see them when the window is closed but it would bother some people.

Then I would either look for some that stick to the outside (which are rather ugly) or not fit them at all.

Even those who claim not to have any scratching must have a couple, I just can't see how it's avoidable.
