Try climair, they do loads. They are in Kent (sidcup)

I don't think they're too common as they have to be stuck on due to the nature of the door construction.

Climair ones fit inside the channel. Fit loads to trucks.

But the omega doesn't really have proper channels, that's the problem  :-\

Am I missing the point? If the windows are open, its because you want the airflow to come through...   ...or your name is webby the bear at the Drive Thru

I've always found them annoying, cumbersome, noisy and look pikey (although that last bit is subjective, obviously), with no upsides  :-\

Put me out of my misery, please?

They're for when its raining, and you want the windows down slightly without the rain coming in

Is that right?

Right, now we have that settled, I still can't see the benefit  :-\.  If its raining, I probably don't want that airflow on me, so will use the ventilation system's airflow  :-\

Don't get me wrong, on a summers day, I like the windows and sunroof open. But still stuggling to see any benefit of wind deflectors.

Good luck with your search, all the Omegas I've seen with them were fairly unsuccessful in that securely fixing them was a pain.

I was going to post on this, so would probably be post 2. Glad I didn't bother as its gone the way I would of posted anyway. ;D

What on earth for? Only thing I can think of is no or failed ac to stop the windows steaming up. Why else would anyone drive with the windows down in the rain...?

Fix the ac. Or open the rear window as well slightly, that way you get airflow not buffeting.

Ghastly bloody things. But each to their own.

My compressor on the 3.0l decided to redistribute the refrigerant around the engine bay, clearly with some force. So guessing a relatively easy job of replacing compressor and regassing :)

Once I have a jack, and a spare set of hands to make it less fiddly :)

As said before, despite all the Omegas I've seen, yet to see any successfully (as in securely) fitted. Good luck with your search.

Now, what we have here, is a failure, to communicate.

...as they say in the movies. ;)

If we'd known all that...they still wouldn't fit. ;D

Sorry though, can't help further. Hopefully someone else will pipe up :y

I was just going to say, the only folk I see with their windows rolled down in the rain are smokers.
