I have seen them in the Max brochures but have never seen them in person. Does anybody recommend it?

Yep

- My Max had them already on when I bought the car. I hated them. They are not as transparent as you would think, so your line of vision around the A-pillar is roughly twice as bad. They don't really deflect rain or wind that well, and they're a pain to clean.
- I took them off, but they got revenge by slicing my hands two or three times and by leaving adhesive all over the car. Don't waste your time or money - or blood.

Wow....thanks for letting me know. I thought it would look "cool" and prevent the rough winds from coming into the cabin.

So...those deflectors cut you huh. Did you get 'em back by cutting them into pieces?

Personally...

I like them. I got the window deflectors to match the sunroof deflector (all by VentShade), and They really look sharp. I don't think they're all that difficult to clean, either. You just have to clean the top edge of the glass, and the inside of the visor with the windows cracked a little, then put them up and finish the job. The VentShade models are dark enough to give a little extra protection from the sun, and light enough to still see through them. I will try and post pictures with them on this weekend.

Oh Yeah...

I also find that they offer just enough protection from the rain with the windows cracked during wet-weather driving, and in my opinion, you'll have wind noise no matter what you do, except drive with the windows up, but I do find that it is marginally less with the deflectors.

Here is a picture of some. I am not sure if I like them or not. They are alright. There is realy no need for the sunroof one I don't think.
