I had the just across version. Worked great. But in my case they would slip down and I finally just removed them. 

These days I can't roll down my windows, put new glass in, and didn't want more scratched front side windows. 

But I think that this felt that prevents this scratching is no longer where it's supposed to be on the doors metal inner side.

That's something to make sure you have. 

I get ventilation from open wing windows, as in removed wing windows. It's loud that way. To loud. And can freeze you on the freeway. But I can hear and smell everything at all times. 

A mod for those triangle windows would be nice. Something that quiets. And deters sticky hands from reaching in, but allows air and sound to move. 

The stock use of those triangles has never been to my liking.

It could be, that if my felted window rubber hadn't been so old, that the wind deflectors would have stayed up.

But the T3 version offers clips as well, and if you can roll your window down, then the extra deflection would be nice.

I did buy my red shocks (Koni) from EuroCamper. Great shocks. The name? Don't remember. Bought long ago. Think they might maybe need to be checked at the front. I've been told they last forever. But I was under the same impression for Bilsteins on a BMW, and Bilstein replaced them after checking them themselves.
