DO SIDE WINDOW DEFLECTORS REDUCE WIND NOISE?

My 2008 Civic LX four-door has much too much wind (and/or road) noise with the front windows rolled down (and I enjoy driving with the windows down quite a bit, here in San Diego). Has anyone had experience with side window deflectors? If yes:

1. Do they reduce wind noise? Significantly?
2. Do they also reduce wind noise when the window is closed (rolled up)?
3. Do they have any drawbacks? (Do they come off? Do they inhibit the view?...)
4. What brand(s) are best?

Thanks greatly for your advice.

 

they do reduce wind noise. Weathertech i think is the company that makes them for your year im not sure. in regards to drawbacks i would say some people dont like the look but i do i think they look nice i have them on my 00 coupe it was a simple install after doing alot of research.

 

I'm pretty sure that they are mounted with the adhesive backing strip included. I've heard that they do reduce wind noise though.

The OEM ones clip on somehow, and most aftermarket ones apply via adhesive backing strip (3M double sided tape.) They all reduce wind noise, but the clip on ones reduce wind noise more, and are better quality.

 

weathertech are pretty good also
