Wind deflector envy!
So I was following a fellow discovery owner this morning and his D4 had a pair of black front wind deflectors fittet. I actually quite liked the look of them and wondered A) are they any good and B) where’s the best place to buy the gutter type deflectors? I don’t want the stick on ones I think are available.

Ive had Hako on 2 motors and I wouldn’t buy them again, went distorted and out of shape. Climair all the way, sure you pay more but quality is much better in my opinion 2003 BMW M5- 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Can someone tell me what the benefit of these are please?
You can open the window for a little fresh air even when its raining and you don't get wet. Also it reduces wind noise when the window is open The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

For the cost of them I’m tempted to try a pair on the front... do they reduce wind noise when windows are closed?

I like the idea of less wind noise when open
As a smoker, while driving to the alps it drives the wife crazy when I open the window every 30 mins throughout the night, as it wakes her up

I have Heko on mine,
Pro's
They reduce wind noise when the window is ajar (which I rarely do)
They stop the rain running off the roof channel & dumping water over the window switches on the drivers side when i pull off our drive & turn left in the morning.
They do look good
Against
They are alot noisier at speed in my opinion on the car when the window is shut than if i didn't have them.

Also stops rain dripping in on window switches when slightly open.
Have had both versions and prefer stick on ones as less noise when window shut, the gutter fix ones do generate more noise when window shut.
seem to recall front ones are same fitment as one of the Hyundi vansD4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST
