not bad to keep the rain off if you have the window open abit (fresh air, smokers etc).

 

 

thats not a bad point actually, if you like driving with the window open in all weather like i do then they are actually quite handy

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that mine are propably one of the most useful mods I've added to my car. Obviously if you drive around with the windows fully down they do nothing, but that's not what they're for. They will deflect wind and cut down noise if you open the windows to a point about the same level as they sit at (about 1.5 inches) giving you fresh air in the cabin, and keeping rain out.  They took about 2 mintutes each side to fit. Biggest issue for me is that because of the way they fit, closing the window fully is virtually impossible.

Mine were already fitted and I have no issues with fully closing the windows. I agree with everything else you have said.

Sorry I'll clarify.  My windows do close fully i.e. they close tight up against the plastic of the deflector.  What they don't do is go up to into the gap between the window rubber over the full length as the deflector is in that gap, but it does over most of the length.

I bought some last year from climair and they cost under £35 include next day delivery (can't remember a specific price)
They were fitted within a few minutes and have been on ever since. I love them and they made a huge difference
Definitely recommend!!
