Side Window Deflectors
I have a '97 Maxima GXE and I am looking for side window deflectors that fit into the window channel. What I've seen are tape-ons that mount on the door paintjob. Does anybody know who makes these deflectors that mount inside the window track? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the GTS brand ventguards and I know that they tape onto the window molding and not the paint of the door.

I bought mine from MacNeil Industries. Weathertech Weatherflectors. They meet stiff German Automotive standards, and they fit inside the groove with the weather stripping. I have them on all four doors and they go well with the wind deflector of the sunroof.
http://www.macneil.com or http://www.weathertech.com
The rear ones fit better for me on the outside of the rubber weatherstrip, but the fronts fit as the describe in the instructions.
They also make other things like nice floor mats and cargo liners.
I first saw them advertised in the back of Road and Track Magazine.
Good product.
I'm very happy with mine.

Yeah! Side wind deflectors! Those are so cool!! Just don't forget all the other awesome accessories you will need to compliment them: a stylish bra, a gnarely wind deflector for the hood, a b1tchin wind deflector for the sunroof, some really sweet mud flaps and last but not least, some groovy curb feelers!!!!

Actually, None of that other crap interests me in the least.
The wind deflectors are very practical and keep water from dripping into the car when it is raining since Nissan and most other auto makers deleted the rain gutters to be effective in the wind tunnel to meet CAFE standards for their fleet of cars.
This helps to slow my car down since otherwise it is way too fast!

Thanks, White96MaxSE, for the tip regarding window deflectors. I bought them from Mac Neil and got them a week later. It took me about 15 minutes to put all four of them in. The color of the vents is a light tan transparent color. They look likesunshades. They really compliment my Champaign beige paint job. Most people don't even notice them against the tinted windows. They really do a great job circulating the air in the car. And, in agreement to your response to ptatohed, they do seem to slow down the car a tad, but just a tisch...
