Main dealer should do them, not that expensive, for my hatch they were about £80.

You can get them. I had to get a replacement for my old JDM STi - some muppets broke the side window to nick my stereo and also smashed the deflector.

They took some time to get hold of - at the time they were waiting on a shipment or something - can't remember what I paid but no more then £100.

Should do, nothing has changed on the body to make them not fit.

Both of the subarus ive owned were JDM's and both came with them on. I quite like them, as you say Barnshaw you dont really see many people with them on.

You can drop the window maybe an inch & the gap is covered by the deflector..
Fitting the deflectors also sorted the "bagpipe' whistle at 100mph+

Not very!
Fitted some a few weeks ago and to be honest there's very little difference in wind noise, rain deflection etc. The wife hasn't even noticed them! (probably a good thing!)
They're one of those 'if it's available I'll buy it' things.

Hi guys, sorry to be resurrecting a dead-and-burried thread but figured the ones that have could advise one that is considering!

Moved to Aberdeen a few months ago and it rains and rains and I cant drop my windows even a fraction because I get wet and the car steams up. Deflectors seem a good idea and would possibly solve the water ingress on the passenger side when I wash my car. Do you have to have a window-dropper to be able to shut the door or how does this work? I figured they must fasten to the pillars/roof line and thereby fit over the windows?? Excuse my naivity in this matter!

Cheers dudes

Once they are fitted they clear the top of the windows when the doors are opened
