Do Window Wind Deflectors Work on a Ranger?

I went with these, even though the rear windows don't open it has pieces to go over them for a smoother look.

I bought a set of these on Amazon last night. Same price as the above link, but free ship with a faster delivery date. ....thanks again for the tip.

Hi Rob,

You create a Helmholtz resonance cavity which can drive you crazy with the buffeting...

However, Chief Engineer LaForge reported to Captain Picard and Commander Riker that this effect could be alleviated by rerouting the plasma conduits through the Transporter Heisenburg Compensator.

I have the one s that go in the track of the window, I like the look better, yet get a little, little wind noise due to it being in the window track. I prefer that then sticking them onto the paint of my truck .

Do they interfere with your power windows? On my fusion they’d cause the windows to reverse.

I smoke cigars. A 5x60 robusto or toro will last through the 107 mi trip between our main home and our river house.

I crack the driver's window a bit to exhaust the smoke. Previous vehicles had powered rear windows, so I'd crack the window behind me a bit also. Worked great. This pulled the smoke and reduced the wind whistle on my window.

But with my Supercab, I only have the driver's window, and the wind whistle is loud. So I've considered installing window deflectors to reduce the noise.

Question is will these help?

I own a super cab, it does not suffer the buffeting problem that most 4 door vehicles do when the front windows are cracked open a bit. I don't remember the truck suffering a wind noise when the windows are closed until I installed the AVS window guards; now there is a slight whistle at speeds over 60mph. I don't recall the guards making it any quitter when the windows are open, but that's not the reason I installed them either. I installed the guards so that I could crack the windows without getting rain in, and for that they work great.

In channel visors don't exist for the Supercab so us SC owners don't have a choice.

Mine is a supercrew and there is no interference with the Windows operation.

I believe in another post someone said that there are cab vents in the back of the cab. So roll up your windows and turn on the air fan and the smoke will go out the vents. Ps do turn on the outside air. You can also adjust the temp of the air coming into the cab. Invite all of your cigar smoking buddies/girls to test this idea and report back. ?

I have the weather tech deflectors in the front windows. They look great, install in the window channel without tape. Cigar smoking would be much more enjoyable with them.

Hi Scott...any chance of a couple of pic’s please?! I purchased a complete set of Ford deflectors and didn’t like them at all . Looking for a better quality brand. Also looking for hood deflector that doesn’t whistle. Thank Terry AKA Baldeagle11 .

So true. Had the same thing with our '13 Impala, my '02 Sport Trac and my brides '98 Grand Prix.
It was just unbearable to ride in if the rear windows were opened.

Yup, had a 01, and 08 Sport Trac and same.
