About as good as your idea to paint cement with glow in the dark paint....
All the ones i have had need replacing every X amount of years due them cracking or the clips snapping

I love mine. Even in wet weather I like having the window open a crack for fresh air so they stop rain coming in.
I really liked them on my old car, as said above you can open the window a little without a massive blast and if it's raining you don't get wet. I did have some issues with clips or fitment not being great and I ended up binning the passenger side after it fell out, but when working and fitted they worked well. Can't use them on the current whip as it has frameless doors.

I lived in New Zealand for a bit about 20 years ago and almost every car has these on.
Rarely see them here.

I haven’t seen those on a car since quarter lights windows on the front doors were a thing.
What’s coming back next? Vinyl roofs? Cross-ply tyres? 8 track players?

Never had them on a car, and since the birth of air con I never open the windows anyway, even to shout at people.

In Australia, they put carpet on their dashboards

my ex has these and loves them for car camping ecr, i think they have a practical use, example on my car before last i left the car unventilated on a very hot day, came to drive and no gears as the gear lever bushing had melted, at least with these you can leave a gap and not worry about rain.
she had a slight problem fitting as would trip out the safety stop but soon sorted it.

I have Heko ones on my B-max front and rear. Wifey vapes in the car so it's nice to be able to get rid of the damn stuff without getting your head blown off with the wind.

Oh Lordy, no one wants that.Terminals.

Got also Heko ones on my tint Citroen C1 (which doesn't have A/C) so you really need the windows down a bit during really hot days to drag out some internal hot air (the fan just blows ambient air so if its 25'c thats what it blows etc) so at least you "feel" cooler from the passing air, rather than actually being cooler.
They're tinted/smoked so I find that, on a small car, they add a large amount of blind spot area around the A-Pillars at night (day is fine) so you have to movie about more at junctions etc to check around them.

I had them on my Lancer and my Focus and thought they were great with the wind noise reduction and stopping the rain ingress.

They look crap.

I've always installed them on all the cars i owned. Perfect to have the window open a little without getting wet.
