Do JDM Rain Guards / Side Visors Actually Work?, Or are they just for looks? Options

[JoshuaM]

Yup, you heard me 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

Thank you,
Joshua

Had them for a few years now but not once did i ever open my windows in the rain.
I see it ideal for someone who smokes inside the car but they are too thin to really work as rain guards.

Also, they blend in so well that you forget that its even there until someone leans against it and breaks it.
So it kind of lacks in the cosmetic section too.....

I like mine thou
so you will probably will too.
