Window wind deflectors

[Charlie Buckett]

I've seen these in photos but never on the road.
Do you have them?
Do they really lesson the wind noise with the window cracked?
Do they hinder visability at all?
Are they oz road compliant? (made in Malazysia)
I actually think they're ugly but would consider them on the front windows only.

With the flow thru ventilation in modern cars, there is no need to open the windows to get fresh air.
I have seen many of these on cars driven by people who smoke, especially in winter, with the window down a little to let the smoke out, but stopping the rain coming in.

I actually just received mine from a Taiwan seller on ebay and Installed last week. I'm not a smoker but mum's commodore had them and was so good in hot weather in summer when parked to wind the windows down a smidge to allow airflow in and out the car so it wasn't too stuffy to get back into and also great in rainy humid weather so the inside windows didn't fog over so easily.

So definitely handy purchase. And not much visibility is lost at all. No wind noise after installing them which is great! Double sided taped on!! I'm really happy with them. Could recommend!

Thanks for the recommendation. They look great on your ride.
I cleaned my blower motor recently while greasing my wiper, then felt inspired to clean all the vents (no cabin filter on my year model) but there is still something about 'vent' air that I dislike. Sometimes on the highway I want some 'real' air and to feel less enclosed without all the drumming and noise or rain of a cracked window.
I think I'll buy some if the price is right.
Thanks again.

That's why sunroofs are great.
I use mine whenever it's not raining. Even in the rain you can crack open the rear and raise it - no water comes in.

I believe what you are calling wind deflectors are actually rain deflectors? Always had them on the family truckster, and yes the best use is for parking with windows cracked.
As usual I totally agree with Ivanerrol, sunroof is best for airflow but not when its raining...
And the window things can look a bit "meh" on a Merc

So years ago I saw only German ebay sellers with them but none posted to Australia. This was the only seller I accidentally found that offered it to me here in south Australia, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302192350102



Here's a photo Incase the link doesn't work.

Probably a little harder to find for w126.
I have seen them on a w123 before, wagon.
Might just be one of things, keep checking ebay periodically bud, hopefully something will come up eventually!

[Charlie Buckett]

Perhaps send Venttec an email. They make them for the w124 sedan and wagon and the w140 and heaps of others so......
