Thoughts on window deflectors?

[purdyd]

I’ve got a deposit on a ranger with window deflectors and my first thought is I don’t want them.

but do I?

I am thinking it might reduce buffeting?

If you wear ear plugs they are okay.

Rip Them Off? Unless your are 75.

I personally don't like pieces of cheap plastic hanging off the windows... but that's just me

They add noise is what i found out after installing them

Thanks. Appreciate the opinions.

I like mine,never noticed any more noise. Have put them on my last 4 Fords.

I always put them on so i can have the windows down a little when its hot out but these added some wind noise on the highway, same as they did on our 2018 mazda3. They are the only two vehicles i have had that issue with. Its not terribly loud, its just more wind noise than before

I have the goodyear in channel ones, I dont notice any added noise. I have them so I can have the windows cracked for the dog in the backseat while driving in the rain. The rear ones the tape did fail right off the bat and I had to redo them, but the fronts have held on no problem.

I would try them on a rainy day. You might just like them. I had them on my last truck and they were useful. Some just dont like the look(dont listen to them) I never noticed any noise from them?

I'll be putting them on mine. I don't care about buffeting, as I don't open windows.

The reason I have them on vehicles is they mitigate sunlight issues when that infernal ball of gas is in the exact wrong position for the A pillar or visors to obscure. They're wonderful for that.

If our star bugs you at all, they're great to have. Auto Ventshade makes nearly flush-fit units if you're not into the full look. I'm not sure if they have them for the '24+ Ranger.

I just put these on my Ranger this morning. I like the in channel deflectors better than the tape on. I had a set on my 2017 Tundra for 8-1/2 years and they held up great, though they were a different brand.
