    Been thinking about air deflectors for a while and finally took the dive. I found o Ebay oem style for a good price and thought I would try them. just installed them and they fit perfect.

    Are they Weathertech? They look like the ones that I installed on my 2010 recently.

    I really like mine. I park in an open, asphalt parking lot at work and on these 90 degree days I can leave the windows slightly open and this will lower the hot cabin temps by a good 5 to 10 degrees F. This makes a huge difference in battery temps and cooling down the cabin with AC.

    Also they decrease the wind noise around the windows.

    The Weathertech offerings that I've seen only have front available - and are priced pretty steep for front-only IMHO. The sets of four that I see on ebay are HIC branded and no-name. HIC web site shows backordered through end of month.

    Mine are HIC branded off ebay, They look and installed great, the 3m tape is holding 100%.
    only took 5 days from ordering until I was installing them.

    I have the same one because I couldn't wait for the WeatherTech any longer.
    I am happy with the look and the performance.
    One note though, if it rains and you leave the rear windows down more than 3/4" or so while the car park, the rain will get inside :( because
    of the weird angles. The front ones don't have this problem.
