Yup, you heard me tongue.gif I have been thinking about adding JDM side rain deflectors to my project plan, and was just wondering if anybody who had them could actually comment on their effectiveness, since they are so tiny!

You obviously wouldn't go driving around with your windows wide open in the rain, but it annoys me that I need to leave my windows rolled up for several kilometers after washing my windscreen or if there was any water sitting on the car from the night before as with the highly raked shape of the Celicas it just falls right in!

I may end up with them eventually even if they are just for show, but if I am able to convince myself that they are a practical addition to my car then they might move up the priority list tongue.gif

Thank you,

personally I find them over rated and not very effective for the hype of the price of them. On other cars, theyre very functional. On the celicas they only help a bit. It annoyed me that when I wash my screen, water would run backnin whilst driving when window is open. Now I have them it helps but because theyre tiny , they are pathetic at keeping rain out if you have the window open more than 1cm.
