Most of them get applied with some double-sided tape.

Thx Chem.. I appreciate that..

There are 2 different kinds to get.
In the channel and outside the channel.
I have the outside channel ones that go on with DS tape.
Ive had the inside channel ones on my old car and they were kind of a PITA to install but they look better imho..

I'd probably go with inside channel ones if i were to do it again..
Up to you though. GL..

Car looks better without them, but I prefer the function of these more..
Kinda nice to crack your window in the rain and not get drenched.
And if you smoke, which i dont in my car, it lets air get sucked out better.

I believe the OEM ones are attached with double-sided tape.

excuse the ridiculous amounts of pollen all over my car.

3 of these buttons are on each front window and 2 are on each back.



kinda hard to see, but this clip is directly underneath the button in the first pic connects to and it hooks on underneath the runchannel. same thing; 3 on fronts and 2 on backs.



then there's also double-sided tape on each deflector.

i love them. i guess i'm in the minority because i like the look (maybe because my car is black) as well as the functionality. cracking the window when it's raining for some fresh air is damn nice, and after a while of driving with the windows down on a nice day it no longer gives me the "just had sex" hair haha...

as far as looks are concerned, you're TB too just like me and if you think MitsuJDM's car looks good with them on (previous page) then you're good to go.

Allows you to crack the windows when it's raining and it looks good on some cars.
