Not popular,I saw only one car like this.My wife doesn't like the air condition because of dehydration,hot cold imbalance of the Aair ,you know this if you married. Big Cry
If the weather is sunny and not very hot we always open the front windows a little bit when we drive slowly .Sometimes if the weathers is rainy,the water come into car in this situation.İf you live in turkey,you prefer to open the windows,because the weather is good and shiny often Very Happy Off Road major rule:As slowly as possible, as fast as necessary!

In the UK it's only some police cars that have these. Ordinary users don't usually bother with them, mainly (I guess) because they cause wind noise at higher speeds. Brian

I've had them fitted on a previous car (not the big wide in your face ones) from "Climair", main reason was when I use to smoke I could flick the ash out the window if it was raining and as cars are now "gutterless" you get a lot of water running off the roof in through the window. Ended up with the ash being blown back in and the rear seats was peppered with burn holes. Sad
Another plus point was it helped stop the wind resonance if a rear window was opened partially.
Now I don't smoke and use the air con with the windows shut if driving on Motorways, and if you ever drive north up the past CG's chicken ranch then you have to have your windows up anyway. Whistle

Hi

I recently fitted a four window set of Heko deflectors bought on eBay. I prefer the in gutter type as they can't be removed when the windows are closed and I think they look better than the stick on ones.
My wife doesn't like aircon either but we can now have the windows open front and or back without that horrible drumming noise and as stated even in the rain you can still have windows partially open without getting wet.
