Question Wind deflector accesory kit

Anyone experience these? I am considering them to mitigate wind noise. I'd like to know how they install and how they perform.

just to close the loop:

I found them at a dealership online.
park mazda
Akron OH

Just installed this morn. They look killer and are like smoked glass. It strikes me how low of a profile they have. Looks to me like there was a lot of wind tunnel testing done, which I think the customers will appreciate.

Soundwise, I'm guessing 0.5-1 dB improvement across the frequency range. As a reference, a CX-5 is 3-4 dB quieter than a 3 hatch.

The install isn't bad but it absolutely needs to be right the first time. Take your time!! I recommend raising the window into it's fully closed position before doing the final adhesive press.
