As a side note, the Weatherflectors are a wonderful wonderful thing. My car's been sitting in the sun and it's in the upper 80s outside, but when I went out to lunch it wasn't an oven because all four windows were cracked about an inch. No worries about the possible thunderstorms that were being predicted, because they were still a half inch above the bottom of the shields.
aren't u worried about people busting into your car when u leave 0.5 inch open at the windows??

I'd be more worried about the weatherflectors lookin' like shit...

But that's just what *I* would worry about.

Nope. The way the Weatherflectors install is by snapping into the window channel at the top, and to get through them to unlock the door you'd have to cut a couple of big wedges out of a fairly thick chunk of acrylic. Nobody's going to be able to remove them otherwise, there's no good way past them, and be easier to just break the window. For that matter, I'm leaving the windows open closer to an inch than to a half inch. I suppose I could run into someone who'd spray something inside, but I'm mostly doing this at work - if I'm street parking down in Chicago, all the windows are all the way up.

As far as looks, I wasn't sure that I liked the looks at first, but then we had a week of rainy weather in Chicago and I decided that being able to have the window partially open on my drive was worth it.

I don't have any good pictures of them right now, and my digital camera's out on loan. Once I get it back I'll post some.

i checked out the defog function on my p5 this weekend. i had never really noticed that it blows cold out the floor vents also, but with shorts and sandal on i noticed my tootsies were getting a bit of a chill:eek:. i do find it a bit strange, but not that big of a deal. maybe you could counter it with a bit of heat from the heater dial?
