Mine has similar when I bought the car, considering the glass was double glazed I thought the wind noise was unacceptable.

Took them off and once the rubbers had gone back to the shape they were supposed to be, it's a lot quieter.

That is a problem I know, I just keep the windows closed.

Or adjust the jets so they don’t spray so far to the sides. My side windows never get washer fluid on them. I also enabled spray on up stroke so that may help as well. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Well, it sounds like you’re pretty determined, which is all good and well.

Clips - possible wind noise, but securely attached.

Stick on - no/less wind noise, may fly off and hit somebody/another car requiring you to flee the scene.

Neither - may get wet with the window slightly down, no wind noise, nothing flying off and killing innocent children.

Another silly consideration, they will also make your A pillar blind spot larger. But, they might keep that precipitation and windshield washer fluid out, maybe, if you roll your windows down just right. Granny in a wheelchair hiding in your A pillar blind spot while making a turn? Well, the old cow deserves to be run over anyway for being too lazy to walk and holding up traffic, right?

Anyway, the only real opinion that matters is yours. Buy off Amazon, if you’re not happy with them send them back. That’s the real answer. 2011 RRS HSE Luxury 3.0 TDV6 Fuji White on Ebony/Ivory

Out of curiosity I fitted a set, absolutely useless, lot of wind noise and downright ugly to boot, they got binned pretty quick, and that was genuine L/R one's.

Cheers
