I love my windows down, but I always leave them a crack and sick of getting the seats wet. There's quite a few brands of rain deflectors, so I wanted to see everyones opinion on the best fitting and quality and least obstrusive one is.
I'm looking to spend around $60, and leaning towards the ventshades since they seem to be the most well known. A friend told me the 'one in the yellow and white' packaging works well, but I don't know which one that is.
TIA
Oh, and it's 4dr.

 

Yes, inquiring minds want to know.

 

I pick up a set of ventshades of a <U>online auction site </U>for $15 shipped

 

wow, that's a good price!

there all made up of the same plastic composites w/ 3M double sided stickies... only difference is your choice of color (smoke/clear/etc)

I've noticed no real difference in quality when i purchased GTS styling or Ventshades... both came w/ lifetime warranty if it gets cracked or something.
(but if it flies off in the highway d/t poor installation--didn't prep the surface or something-- u r S.O.L.)

 

Ok, good to know you didn't notice a difference. What about fitting properly? Or looking good? Anyone got a pic of shades on their car?

 

honda made them for the accord, but according to my local dealerships, they were only available in japan.....everyonce in a while a set will pop up on ebay.....FYI: they use special mounting tabs, and dont use adhesive, so theyre much more secure

little metal braket shaped like fish hood, which slide in to your car's sealing rubber piece.

oem one if they make one for your gen of accord

 

ventshade is by far the best, just make sure you get the ones with inside channel mounting. the cheap brands just use double sided tape and go over the weather stripping outside. inside channel mounting actually locks inside the weather stripping and window channel giving you much better aesthetics and reliability.

 

Thanks for all the responses! That inside channel mounting tip's a good one.
How do I know if Honda made an OEM part for my ride?
I'd always rather go OEM then aftermarket if I can.

 

the jdm ones are nice even though they are hard to get to seal. they look good too, very rare, i got mine off ebay.

 

Hm, The JDM ones are a little out of my budget. Anyone else know of any good deflectors that look good on Accords?
