Default Wind Buffeting

What are those really naff, but highly effective (maybe?) plastic things that you see on driver side car doors, or A pillars to stop wind buffeting when driving with the window open?

Is there such a thing for Classic Imprezas? Or is it just a case of window open and get drafty? I dont have air-con on my car.

Cheers,
Richard.

They come on imports, wouldn't think there are many spares around as they are super fixed to the car. A real pain if someone gets in the car and hangs off them as they will break.I think they look good TBH.

Should come as standard on any import, my last WRX had them and my sti has them. Have heard from a friend who wants a new set that they are really hard to get hold off.
