Re: vent deflectors
This is how I installed mine and they work great. It's all in how much effort you put into cleaning everything and following the instructions.

Re: vent deflectors
I'd recommend just the opposite. Window channel deflectors tend to crush the weatherstripping and you'll have to replace it if you ever want to remove the deflectors. I've had taped smoked Ventvisor deflectors on mine for close to 18 years now and they seem to hold up just fine.

Re: vent deflectors
One of the first things I got for my Ty when I brought her home. Got the ones that stick to the edge. Had to loosen the mirror so I could properly install them. Love'em. Personally, I think it looks better with them, and I like being able to crack the windows. Sorry, but on a hot summer day, leather gets really hot. Anything I can do to cut that down a few degrees is a good buy in my book.

Re: vent deflectors
I had them on my typhoon. I didn't care for them. I didn't like the way they looked and I didn't think they were that functional useful. If my Syclone had them I would have taken them off. My trucks generally don't sit out in the sun so it's seems that missed out one of benefit of them.

Re: vent deflectors
As a matter of fact I will, within next couple of months. One of them is slightly cracked and I'm not sure whether I'll get a new pair or not. This will be a resto-mod project (stock looks, highly streetable ~550hp) with my son and everything that radically changes the appearance of the truck will have to go. Deflectors may or may not be one of them.
They're attached to the thin plastic strip just above the window, not sheetmetal, so there's no risk of paint coming off.
