Fitting aside are they effective while driving?

I fitted a pair in about two minutes, most people who struggle try to fit them between the rubber and metal whereas they should just go in the channel the glass goes in.

As for their usefulness, I have never been so disappointed after buying something. I heard loads of good reviews on here but I could barely notice any difference at all. Look nice I suppose.

I got them from smiffys bits at a show.

Does everyone agree that the wind deflectors are poor at what they do? If thats the case i'll remove them from my xmas list and get something else instead. Gotta make my mind up soon or ill end up with socks.......

They are poor at deflecting wind, but not bad to keep the rain off if you have the window open abit (fresh air, smokers etc).

 

I wouldnt buy them again unless the styling of the car required them. Vanity over function.

 

They are the same on my civic, ive removed them for now as the double sided tape is no longer sticky and they keep moving when I drop the window down.
