Default window weathershields

Hi all
I got a query on window weathershields for the front driver & passenger sides.

1. Do they generate more wind noise?
2. When at speed, do the rainwater droplets travel up the window glass & into the cabin due to the wind?
3. Does the focus look nicer without the weathershields or with it?

thanks for all the feedback!

i got the slim window shields on both sides.. i think there great.. its awesome for when its raining and u wanna open the window just a little bit to get some air..

1)i dont notice any wind noise
2)i havent noticed this.. if anything they will drop in from the window shields themselves..
3)everyone is different

1. A small increase in noise with full size ones

2. On a Falcon at 100kph with fullsize shields you can have the window almost right down and not get any water in, slower speed wind window up more

3. I paint mine black on the INSIDE, that way it wont scratch off, better sun protection too, looks better than plain I think, draw a horizontal line right across the part where it turns downwards
