Why You Need a Wind Deflector

Rain guards, vent visors, vent shades, wind deflectors—whatever you want to call them—here’s why you need them. Okay, maybe you don’t need them, but they do provide numerous benefits, which might make you want them.

If your vehicle has no air conditioning, or you just like opening your window for fresh air, you may have encountered a few problems. An open window can cause loud, obnoxious noises, popping sounds, and crosswinds that can dishevel your appearance. This is especially bad if you are unfortunate enough to be sitting in the back seat. And if there’s rain in the equation, the consequences are even worse.

The obvious solution to this mess would be a wind deflector. A wind deflector redirects and reduces airflow around the vehicle, letting you open your window comfortably. With less airflow whirling around inside your vehicle, you will also save gas mileage from reduced drag. Water is directed away from the window and sides of glass, which not only keeps you and your passengers dry, but it also prevents dirt and sediment from building up on the side windows. With a cleaner window, you get better visibility and less dirt prematurely wearing the moving parts that control your window.

Wait, there’s still more. Have you ever had to park in the scorching heat? As you may be aware, keeping your window open, even just a crack, is an invitation to thieves. Luckily, if you have a wind deflector, the crack in your window is concealed, which makes it less of a target and more difficult to get into. Thieves are lazy and want the easiest target. With a wind deflector, that vehicle will not be yours.

Something as simple as a rain guard can prevent vehicle break-ins, help you save on gas by reducing wind drag, let you comfortably ventilate your vehicle, prevent premature wearing of mechanical parts that control your window, stop sediment build up along the sides of your window, and I’m sure there’s more! What are you waiting for? Get a wind deflector for your vehicle.
