Installed the Mach-E window wind / rain deflector kit

[engnrng]

Just installed the window wind/rain deflector kit on my CaRt1.

Updated with some feedback from later in the thread:

Semi transparent, and a bit darker than the window tint. Have driven pretty fast, yes they stay on. They attach to the black molding above the windows, just make sure to use the provided alcohol swabs. I like that they do not bulge away from the window. Very streamlined. One minor complaint is a bit of noise if I leave the widow down an inch at highway speeds, but goes away with the windows closed. I think I can eliminate that, though, and will post a photo of the fix if it works. Photo shows a gap right at the leading edge.

Yes, I like them.. They are almost 3 inches tall, but do not block visibility. And they allow me to roll down the windows an inch or more.

Bruce - where did you pick up those deflectors? They look good and would be interested to pick up a set.

Jerry - LOVE the plate!!!!

Kevin,
Ordered through Ford, from the dealer. The installation instructions are behind the deflectors inside the shrink wrap - invisible from the outside. Found them useful for a pretty easy install.

Bruce - thank you for the insight and i'll definitely go check them out!!!

I need these desperately! I had the in channel weather tech ones on my last car for 5 years. Can’t live without them, but I’ve never had ones that stick on the outside of the car.

do they feel like they are stuck on there pretty well? Are they kind of transparent or a solid Black? I can’t tell from looking at the picture on my phone. My other ones blended in perfectly with the tint of the window. I would like the same.

I've had these on mine since day 1 when I picked up from the dealer. I had them order them as soon as they were available. Really makes the car look good and kind of chopped.

Never understood purpose of these wind/rain deflector's.

For me it ruins the look of the vehicle.

When you have air conditioning and heat, there is no reason to open the windows.

I had a similar question - what are these used for? I kinda like the look.

I have never been a huge fan of deflectors either but honestly these on the black MMe look really good! And I might consider them for sure!

Personally, I enjoy opening the windows on any vehicle at every opportunity. I enjoy the fresh air and breeze when driving through town or driving down the road. As long as it's not horribly hot or cold, or raining/snowing, and not a crazy cross wind, my windows are down when driving anything under 65mph. I also live in a small town and drive mostly by fields and scattered houses not far from the mountains, when not driving through small towns, so my fresh air is different than someone in a city or more urban area. But to each their own. ?

Yes, I can see the appeal when mostly drive by fields, not far from mountains. I have owned many Mustang convertibles but only had top down before 11am or after 7pm and the way windshield is designed, wind noise is different than what is is like in a suv with windows down. Sudbury is smaller town and once you in outside of center of city , it is nicer to drive with top down. I am one of those rare people who do not enjoy noise of engine or exhaust noise as it affects quality of sound from stereo.

I never liked those, but to save on electrons going to HVAC I might consider it.
