Roof racks?
The JDM deflectors are also called mosoon rain deflectors due to the rainy season in Japan starting in the summer (I believe (Juneish)). Don't think it is monsoon levels but more like the PNW.
I'm just rattlin' yer respective cages. Although I don't like rain guards/wind deflectors, I don't hold it against you simple minded folks who do.
Heck, I have a set on the RV. In that case it was a necessity. 1-3 gallons of water can come rushing off the roof aimed directly for my left shoulder. The rain guards provide just enough extension to deflect it away.
As far as the monsoon season is concerned ... mine came equipped with these very nice transparent shields that can be elevated to keep all of the water out. I think they are called ... windows.
I don't have anything against roof racks ... it was more of a bash against the lack of availability. Some of my best friends have an awsome rack.
'sides, this thread was getting too serious ... needed some levity.
