Will they create additional wind noise?

I've been thinking about these for a year and have been undecided. They are supposed to be great on the highway or in rain as you can crack the window a bit and let some air in, while not using your aircon, with reduced wind turbulence and noise.

The downside is that the open area of your window is actually smaller, and it may reduce visibility. The Honda ones are ~$250.

I'd say the noise is about the same, just a little different. I put some Mugen knockoffs from eBay on mine. Its nice to leave the Windows cracked in the summer. Only affects visibility slightly, may be worse if your seat is set higher.

I have used WellVisors at the following link (the link sometimes fails, but you can search "Honda fit" easily).

I like them, and it was relatively easily attached. By the end, it almost looked like I knew what I was doing. The only confusing part was the pins. Make sure to watch the installation video.

the real downside is you have to roll down your windows a little each time to wipe the glass after a wash...then raise the glass and wipe the water off the bottom of the glass. just a pita i stopped running them after my GE.

They might not be for everyone but I swear by them. It's great to leave your windows cracked while parked on a hot day.

As an aside, my Fit isn't particularly noisy on the road, other than from the problem I caused by not rotating the tires on time.

I'm waiting on WeatherTech to make 'em for the GKs....I had a set on an old car I had, and they were great - fit in the window frame, not taped on the outside....pricey, but I really liked them.....and yeah, it's nice to leave windows cracked on a 98* Tennessee summer day when you have a black Fit

dont feel bad, i liked my mugen visors i had on my GD and the factory one on my GK. not only did it looked cool, it was functional cause i like driving around with the window cracked open even on a rainy/snowy day.

but lately im becoming more and more a lazyarse and the wiping the glass was just not worth it to me no more.
