Installed the Mach-E window wind / rain deflector kit

I just added these in-channel wind deflectors from AutoHuas on Etsy... see pics.

The AUTOHUAS people are based in Florida, and the shipment came within a week. However, the wind deflectors themselves are made in Poland (see maker tag on one of the attached pics).

Wind noise is negligible around town. When opened for "pet mode" without being visibly open to the passerby, the front wind deflectors provide an airflow one can feel inside the cabin when parked in the sun on a warm day.

Unfortunately because of the sloping angle on the back edge of the rear window, when the rear window is cracked it's pretty visible to anyone.

I'm happy with these, after several days.

Hi. Do the deflectors block the wind from buffeting your ears/face with windows down at speeds above about 20 mph?

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.

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.

Yes they do. However, FYI the rear window deflectors fell out after 5 months. The front ones do continue to work well.

I don't know. I always drove with the windows closed for best efficiency. BTW, I traded in my Route 1 after 3 years for a GTPE that was heavily discounted. Still debating about whether to add the deflectors to my GTPE... That little gap at the front always made a little noise at highway speeds. I noticed that the dealer who took my Rt 1 as a trade in removed the deflectors that were all still attached and working well!

I installed mine a month after I got the car, I just love the look in general on most cars. The gap at the mirror drove me crazy and was the source of 75% of the noise. I first used some gorilla tape stuck to the inside and that really helped. But after several months the tap came loose and left visible residue (you can see this in the interior shot). I finally opted for some seasonal window caulking, the sort you'd use to seal your windows in cold climates that is easily removable.

It comes in clear, but I mistakenly bought white. Its worked fantastic, better than the tape and a lot easier to install. I'll probably take a black paint marker to it just to reduce the visibility.

Looks good! Thanks for sharing, Aaron!
