Have you ever rolled down your car window, only to inhale highway dirt and grime? Or have you ever looked into your rear view mirror, only to see grunge covering your rear window? You can prevent this, and many other car window discomforts, by installing sleek, low profile window deflectors. They're easy to install, can be made to match the color of your car and can prevent many of the stresses you may experience.
What They Do
It may seem hard to believe that snapping a small piece of plastic onto your car door frame can do very much, but the following is a list of what the most popular companies say their window wind deflectors can do.
* Help keep the inside of your car cool, even when it's parked outside in hot weather.
* Can keep your side windows dry during rain storms, maximizing your sight clarity in dangerous driving conditions.
* Reduce dangerous dust and grime build-up on the back windows of SUVs and vans.
* Help prevent window fogging, which can be hard to get rid of.
* Deflect rain and snow off the windows while your driving, so you can roll down the window with out getting wet.
* Prevent road dirt from flying into your car when your driving with the windows rolled down.
* Can severely reduce wind noise on the highway.
* They normally install inside the window panel with auto foam tape, so you don't have to worry about unsightly exterior tape.
* Most importantly, they can maximize your fresh air enjoyment while driving.
How They Work
This may still seem too good to be true (it did to me too), but once you understand how these convenient deflectors work you'll be installing yours in no time. The key to their success is the aerodynamic style that pushes wind up over the window instead of straight at it. Since they are installed inside the window frame, any wind that comes at the car can't go through the protective shield and instead moves over or around it. To put it simply, these deflects act as a ramp for the air, rain, dirt, snow and grim rushing towards your car while you drive and protects your windows for the harm the elements can cause.
Things to Consider
* If you've decided to purchase one of these convenient deflectors, think about which windows you want to install them on. What is your biggest problem? Grime build up or wind noise? The windows you choose to place these deflectors, and the deflectors you buy will have an impact on which of your problems they most successfully fix.
* Many companies will color the deflector to match your car color perfectly. Look for brands that will do this to provide the sleekest look.
