window deflectors

Thinking of putting window deflectors on my 2013 glk 350. Do any of you have experience with them? Such as change in mileage or wind noise when windows are closed?

GLK 250
I installed a pair of Weather tech deflectors on my front windows shortly after
purchasing my 2014 BT. Installation was simple, the only problem coming from the
auto-close window function. For a while the windows would back off from fully closing
due to the additional force required. You could still close the windows by using small
incremental movements as the window met the added resistance
After a couple months they fully seated & the problem ended. I can't comment on
additional wind noise since they were installed so soon after the vehicles purchase.

window shades

Decided on weather tech because they are low profile and look great compared to others.

I had them on my other cars. I like to open the windows slightly without rain and wind noise. They work great for that purpose.
There are in-channel and out-channel. I prefer in-channel. But I had out-channel on my Subaru and it looked great. I will order in-channel for my GLK.

The rain deflectors work great, allowing heat to escape in warm / sunny weather. As far as wind noise goes...
hard to say as I've never been without them. There is definitely more wind noise with open windows versus closed.
