With Or Without??

Hi all looking for advice,
Historically I have always fitted wind deflectors to the windows on my cars,
But the wife has never been so keen..

With ?

Without ?

Personally I prefer without - however the ones you have one do blend in nicely.
What will you do if the majority of responses say without? The wife will no doubt say "I told u so" and we can't have that can we Smile

I haven't told her I have asked for reinforcements,
at least not till they are on my side, if not then I
wont tell her at all...

Thank you for your honesty.. ===========================================

Do you open your windows when driving? If not, why have the deflectors? If you do, and they help to reduce draughts and noise, then go for them.

I did vote "no" as I think they look naff, but that's a personal taste thing. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

If I've had enough cold aircon, I turn up the temperature on the climate control dial... Whistle

All a personal choice I guess, I fitted a set of genuine L/R one's thought they looked absolute crap and took them back off, didn't think they were very effective either. As I have fitted RRS2/D4 mirrors they also foul mirror when folding it, but obviously that would not effect everyone.

Cheers

They aren't to my taste but go with what you like. If you like the look of them and they are functional, keep them on.

It's your car and your right to have it how you want it (unless the wife tells you otherwise Laughing ) Kev

Well it looks like I wont be discussing it with the wife..
as it looks like I am in the minority, and she will say "I told you so"..

if I leave it running long enough it might turn in my favour.. Thud ===========================================

It’s a personal thing. I’ve only ever tried them once, on a Freeloader 2. They sounded like a great idea, but they had to be forced into a gap, that didn’t exist, between the window and the seal - inviting longer term damage to both. They restricted ventilation too, meaning that I had to open the windows much further, negating any advantage they gave in the first place.

I’d never fit them again but, if they work for you... A Fatty owner, just dropping by Smile

I don't mind them at all. And you've had them on all your previous motors. If you like them then do your own thing.
