I have them fitted to my car (Climair)and like them.Initially considered them for my boxer but I found that from air deflection point of view it doesn’t need them,it’s the least turbulent open vehicle window I have experienced.

Thanks Kdc , I was also thinking about fitting them for when I use the silver screens ,as we normally open the front windows an inch or to to aid ventilation with the screen fitted hoping that they would stop any rain dripping in, I had them on the Autotrail they worked great stopping the rain but it really stressed the motor when opening

Had them fitted on my Boxer but can't remember the make as it was ten years ago.  Had them on all my vehicles subsequently except for my current car which has a sliding glass sunshine roof.  I love having the window just cracked open when driving, especially when it's raining.

Agreed, it's very impressive!

I'd consider smoked deflectors them from a styling point of view, but that's a personal thing, each to their own and all that.

For use with silver screens though, would they create a stand-off and make things worse, rather than better? scratch head
