What are those things called above your car windows so you may be able to row your window down a little while its raining
They are plastic I guess. People who smoke in their car like them because they can crack their window a bit while it is raining and no water will come in.
I just want them because I like the look.
So could you tell me:
What are they called?
Where can I get them?
About how much do they run? I have a 2001 Corolla.
Are the easy to install?

Thanks for help.

the correct term is ventshades typically made by avs. go to oreilly or autozone and jcwhitney.com or jegs.com they run about 70 80 bucks I could you may be able to get the ventshades that are prepared to paint to compliment your car, easy to install all you do is use the supplied two sided tape and stick it on the shade and put above you are sill and you are now done, hope this helps, good luck

They are called wind deflectors and may be a little costly. they are easy to install tho. attempt your local parts supplier,the major dealer could most likely get them for you but its going to be a lot more money than say ebay,try there 1st.

Vent Visor.

Look at Pep Boys, Kragens, etc.

they are around $50 a set.

They install with two sided 3M tape. Most idiots can do it themselves. There are not many on here passing themselves as mechanics/technicians that most likely are not able to

The other man was right they're "ventshades" they come in a metal finish and a smoked glass finish. I paid 45 for the four door truck and 35 for the two door truck, that math looks a little faulted but hey they work like a dream

They will add wind sound to your drive but they do look nice.
