    Wind deflectors on a D4

    One annoying thing about the D4 is the drumming from the windows, when one is open on the move... Has anyone tried wind deflectors and do they make a difference?

    I've found some on eBay for $55 plus postage but do they actually work?

    Cheers
    Daryl

    Will have to look at some to.
    Its annoying the drumming noise on a long run when you want to open the windows to get a good dose of fresh air.

    I've fitted the same style as Tombie but only to the drivers window, personal preference. I find it comfortable to have the drivers window partially or fully open with it fitted. The only thing I have noticed is that it does obscure / distort the view along the A pillar and it is most noticeable when going around round-a-bouts etc. increasing that blind spot.

    I do find it annoying to the noise but i just crack another window and it seems to shut it fairly much up. Ill have a look for the wind deflectors to though.

    My Mrs loves an open window,I prefer silence and aircon.
    Sometimes I close her window,the look is to die for
    For $55 it could be a great solution to the problem

    Ill agree there Andy love the peace and quiet of it all shut up!! But i will admit on a long drive its nice to have it open for a few minutes let some breeze in and fresh air, but then shut it all up again!!

    I normally drop the window in towns to refresh the air...

    I've got the same deflectors as Tombie on all 4 windows - wouldn't be without them. Have always had at least one on the driver's door of every vehicle I've owned (I even buy and fit one to company vehicles).

    I prefer driving with the window open - sometimes even at highway speeds.
    Cheers .........
