Are the worth it or are they just for show?

Last car I had it did nothing to reduce wind noise, what about those for the TL?

TIA

 

Yes they reduce wind noise tremondously... I can actually have it open and have a conversation with my girl in the car defenitely worth it. Either buy used from the for sale section or but it from 888-RAY-LAKS.

 

I took mine off, it is sitting in my closet. I don't recommend you put it on.

1) The rubber seal eats into your paint after about 3-6 months (main reason I hate it).
2) It's a pain to clean under it
3) Takes up half the moonroof.
4) We have the tilt features, what's the point.

but it does do it's job (reduces wind noise and keeps your hair in place)

 

if you open the moon roof and crack the back window, it's pretty quiet. As long as there's a constant flow going through the car there's not much wind noise and you get to see the sky without the tinted deflector.

 

I was trying to make the same decision myself. Here are some other threads to help you decide:

I finally made the choice to get them because I like the look with them on and they do help in reducing the noise by a great deal. The downers are of course the marks they leave (take it off every few months and rewax) and the extra work to clean under them (dust and dirt love to live in hard to reach places).

 

FWIW. I put the visor on in the warm months only. In fact tomorrow my TL goes from snow tires, factory rims, all season mats and no visor to factory tires, chrome rims, carpet mats and visor. Yea!

 

Anybody selling their factory moonvisor?

 

I have one off a Type S 2003 im willing to sell it i used it for a week and took it off it came with my car and i just got my car on 2-26-2004

 

Hard to clean under , I use a kitchen glass cleaning sponge brush to clean under
it and soak up the water that collects under it when I wash the car. Brush has a long
stem on it with a sponge ball thing on the end of it. Cuts down on wind noise so
I'd rather have it than not.
