Wind Deflectors for TC2 - Update 5/27
Has anyone heard about wind deflectors being available to the TC2? I'm talking about for the doors, not the top...
But while I'm at it, has anyone here put a wind deflector on the roof? Is it safe to put the adhesive on the glass?

As for the deflectors, I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to... vent visors?
As for adhesive, decals have adhesive backing. I guess the biggest question is how large is the deflector and how aerodynamic is it. Should be good with 3M double sided tape which is often used for automotive add-ons. I know whan i was building trailers to pull behind trucks (enclosed trailers), we used a double sided tape that was rated for 120mph.

UPDATE
I went to a local tinting place to ask about tints and I noticed they had vent visors. I knew it was a long shot and of course none in stock for the TC2. HOWEVER, the guy I was talking to called a dealer and they said they have them are made by Westin. Now I was weirded out because in my searches, I found them, but they didn't have a picture to support the product, and Westin is supposedly known for truck visors than anything else.
The questions I asked to make sure I was getting the right item was that it was for a 2011 Scion TC and specified the door design was different from the 2010. They confirmed they have it and that it is in-channel. So I put in the order, and they said 2-3 weeks.
Hopefully I can get them sooner, but I'll post pictures once I get them.

We offer them here in Canada... I think there was a thread about them called "looking for rain guards" or something to that effect.
We offer the adhesive type, which uses automotive grade 3M tape.

i will be seeing my guy tomorrow (the one that did the rear visor) depending on the time i see him and how busy he might measure my doors and send out his designs...so if done, the first prototype should be complete a month from now

Sorry guys. Sadly, it was a bust, it never happened. They were marked as 2011, but they were the 2010. Crazy eh? But the owner of the place is now saying he's in contact with a manufacturer and they are out getting measurements and estimating another 2-3 months.
I'm letting this one go for now. I'm focusing on tinting my tails and side blinkers and posssibly vinyl wrapping my wheels.

Partsgeek says they have a set for the 2011 on their site, but when I sent an email asking if they would also fit a 2010 (as we all know on here its diffrent, but I've seen otther sites try to say they fit 2006-2011) I got an email back saying they were too busy to answer my email and to please call. Twice I sat on hold for over 15 minutes each. I have given up for now..... oh also, they wanted$ 75 plus shipping for a product they don't have time to confirm will even fit my car...lol
