    Yeah, it would be nice if they pictured every model.

    You v owners are lucky that the rear window deflector will be fully functional to keep out rain when leaving your rear windows cracked open a few inches because it is straight all the way across. The weird angle at the back of the hatchback's rear window makes for a gap when the rear window is opened, which will let in rain.

    Just got these today and installed them. The rear ones are a PAIN in the nice person, and the pictures in the instructions are not clear at all. Took me about half an hour just to do the rear ones, and I broke part of the part that slides into the channel, but I got them in and they look really nice.

    Yes, I received mine about a week ago. Very happy with them but I did notice you can't really leave the back windows cracked open as you would with the fronts due to the rear window design leaving a nice opening toward the upper right of the window.

    Oh and yes they were a slight pain to install.

    Oops, I guess I was mistaken about the back window design on the v. I thought the rear edge of the glass was a straight shot all the way to the top, but there is an angled part, similar to the hatchback's. :p

    Do you like the deflectors? I am thinking about putting them on my V but can't decide. Do you think it has improved the look? Would it look better with tinted windows?

    Rear window question, will they fall out like the regular Prius do?

    btw, I have full set of regular ones for sale in Austin only. Shipping not worth it.

    Can you just do the front windows? I never put down the back even with my other vehicle with these deflectors..do you think it would not look good with only the front???? Donna

    You buy them as a set so install them on the front and see if you like it, you have the option to add them to the back anytime if it doesn't balanced to you.

    I have front and back still in the box. I need to get my driver door trim replaced before I install them. The dealer's lock box ruined the moulding, and we've just never met up with it. I wish I could have done it in warmer weather, and not looking forward to the fronts at all.
