Windows, I have a problem where I live on a blind corner and have to put my windows down to listen for traffic, this causes a problem howver when it has been raining as I get water running off the roof and into the car, hoping that the wind deflectors will help this problem similar to my last car.

Hopefully it will fix the problem, similar happened on my old type R, couldnt put the window down even an inch if it was raining as the wipers literally pushed the water straight into the car!!!!

I fitted a set to the front doors that I bought from ebay. Looks great and works fantastically. A 5 minute job to install. I'll get a picture up when I can.

Here's an older pic where you can see my right wind deflector. Taken soon after I bought the car. The deflector has a dark tint, which I find handy sometimes when the sun is high in the sky to my right. Keeps all the rain out too, as long as you don't pull the window down too far  :tongue:.
