Default 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 responsive as people are on here, I'd guess not.

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.

Naw don't buy double sided tape visors they should make the visors screws and clips instead so no one would steal it.

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.

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.

Dang, I wanted a set of these bad. Mostly just to vent my car in summer without having to run outside if it started raining. Summer will be over by then....

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
