Anyone know of any other brands of window visors for P5's? I don't like the VentShade ones because they're too bubbly. I saw a P5 a few weeks before I got mine and theirs was pretty much flat. Looked sweet. Anyone know?

 

Try the parts dept at your dealership

 

WeatherTech has their weatherflectors. They are pretty "low profile"

That looks interesting... anyone got any more pictures with those on a P5?

If you do a search there are various pictures.

I've found only one problem, I think I know what causes it but I'm not sure what to do about it. It seems like when they stay wet for a long time (with the window open underneath), water can catch along the upper edge and capillary action can take it up into the window groove. When that happens, you get a few drops along the inside of it.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, and the only real solution I can think of is putting a couple of grooves on the outside or inside to guide the water away. I'd rather not scratch them up (and I've only seen this happen once), so I think I'm going to live with it.

 

Here ya' go:



Those are the WeatherFlectors on my car before I got the windows tinted - and no, they do not affect the tint in any way. I love these - so much nicer than the tape-on crap from VentShade. I got mine from Mitch at www.protege5online.com - $88 shipped.

Leaving all four windows open by 1.5-2 inches (close to the bottom of them) on a hot sunny day really does a nice job of keeping the inside of the car cooler than it would be otherwise. I use a sunshade as well but haven't had the kind of ovenlike interior that I used to get (and it's been sunny with highs in the 90s much of this month).

 

I have a 2002 Protege ES. I just got my weatherflectors 2 days ago. I love them, they look great. I ordered them directly from the www.weathertech.com website. They was offering 10% off the price of the 4-door set when I ordered. I just checked their website and they are not offering the 10% discount anymore. Anyways, they look great and allow you to leave the windows down about 1" to 1 1/2" safely. They also don't create any more wind noise around the door windows than what was already there before I installed them. Here is a pic of them on my 02 ES.[IMG]ftp://celbon:18Tilidi@home.ntelos.net/htdocs/DSCF0002a.JPG[/IMG]
