i got them on my 5dr, they look great and you can have the window down a bit when its raining and you wont get wet. No wind noise from them at all, only problem i can report is that sometimes when you put the passenger window up, it comes back down again half way. Have to put it back up stopping and starting to make sure it doesnt do it again, but as i said this only happens sometimes. I'd recommend them (Y)

Might be a dumb question, but how do they fit, are they just wedged into the door frame?

spamiser
08-03-2008, 23:23
they are wedged in the gap where the window sits when closed. i believe clips also hold it in place :thumbs:

I have an even dumber question, driving with your windows down?

spamiser
10-03-2008, 16:24
wat you mean by that question?

do you mean will they stay on?

or

why drive with your windows down?

airhead

why drive with your windows down?
Correct! I can see one reason, smoking in the car, which would be such a waste of money I shudder at the thought of it.

spamiser
10-03-2008, 16:34
i drive with my windows open, its nicer to get a fresh breezxe over the air con :thumbs:

but if you mean why drive with them down with wind deflectolrs, then i have no idea :lol: (other than smoking) maybe its down to habit :sus:

but my mum drives with her window cracked down a bit to hear for emergency vehicles (shes a doctor :lol:)
