Depending on how aerodynamic your car is and how tight your door seals are, even driving with the windows up can generate a fair amount of wind noise. Luckily, there is a solution - car wind deflectors! Wind deflectors, also called wind visors or rain guards, are designed to redirect wind away from the car, which keeps everything nice and quiet while you drive… but they have some other really clever uses too. In this article , we will arm you with everything you need to know about wind deflectors. What are wind deflectors? Wind deflectors are plastic panels that attach to the exterior of a car, usually above the windows or in the window channel, in order to direct wind away from the car. They are made from plastic and are moulded into a highly aerodynamic shape to allow air to deflect away from your car. They are most commonly used as car side window wind deflectors but you can also purchase bonnet wind deflectors and winglet wind deflectors for some models. How do wind deflectors work? Side window deflectors work by redirecting the air flow away from the car. The wind deflector creates an aerodynamic barrier between the air and the car. Once the air comes into contact with the deflector, its aerodynamic shape forces the air to flow around the car instead of directly onto it. What do wind deflectors do? Wind deflectors are very useful for several reasons, but the most recognised benefit is the greatly reduced wind noise while travelling at speed. Depending on the quality of your door and window seals, you could expect a 40 - 50% reduction in wind noise while using a wind deflector. This is hugely beneficial during the warmer months when windows are down more often, making a really comfortable and quieter driving experience. This can be especially helpful on long road trips, when you want to be able to enjoy your music or conversation without having to raise your voice. Wind Deflectors also allow you to keep your windows open a crack, letting fresh air circulate throughout the car. This is probably the most economical benefit, because you’re less reliant on expensive air conditioning or the car fans to clear foggy windows or keep the car cool. They’re particularly good during rainfall too - keeping your windows slightly open during the rain would result in wet car, but not with a wind deflector. It’s for this reason they’re also commonly known as rain guards or car rain visors. Having the window open during the rain is incredible for keeping your windows condensation free, and it’s great that you won’t have to worry about those pesky rain drops soaking the car interior. Drivers who love a cigarette absolutely love wind deflectors, because they allow them to keep the window open just enough to let the smoke and ash tip out. They find this particularly useful during the rain, because their cigarette doesn’t get completely soaked while tipping ash out under the deflector! Finally, wind deflectors are actually a really stylish add-on to your car. They make new cars look sleek, and their smoked / tinted appearance is really stunning. Wind deflectors overall are an economical, practical and highly attractive car accessory! What Are The Best Wind Deflectors?
