Window vent visors?

I tried searching first, I swear! Perhaps I'm not using the right terms but I'm wondering if anyone has any input on window vent visors for the countryman. I've looked online and read some fairly terrible reviews about the rear ones falling out. I miss not being able to keep my windows cracked in the heat/rain.

Thanks in advance for any insight any of you might have to offer

my rear ones fell off about a year ago but the front ones are on their 3rd year. iirc the buffeting was pretty insane before i put these on.

Please don't do this to your CM. I have yet to see a vehicle, regardless of make & model, that looks better with these plastic things attached to its pillars with adhesive tape. Additionally, if you are using these to be able to smoke. You should quit smoking....I heard its bad for ya.

I dont think they looks too bad on the CM, if the window are tinted the same darkness they blend.

Window vent visors?

i am going on 4 years with the weathertech side window deflectors ... they do not glue on with tape, they fit into the window channel

much quieter than without

can run with the windows cracked open in the rain with no water entering

a very good mod

i also have a set on my 1997 gmc sonoma that have been on since spring 1998

I have seen the weathertech ones and they are pretty nice. I like they come in 2 tint styles.
