As in the title, I'm looking for wind deflectors for my 5G. Or relevant advice.
Door Windows
There seem to be mixed feelings about the Climair ones. Didn't someone once post having his fall off? But they're the only ones I can find.
Sunroof
Andy's Autosport in the USA seem to be front runners here, but I can't see how they're fitted. The same goes for generic parts. I don't want to have to drill any holes.

I had a sunroof deflector on my 4th gen. I came to the car one morning and some bad person had tried to pinch it but instead only broke a section off it. So I had to remove it. For the year or so that it was on the car the contact footprint on the roof had worn away through to the metal in places due to the road dirt getting under the seal. I would never use one again if I had a sunroof.

Think it was lude dude that had his fall off.
I've had
these in my watch list for a while now. They come with clips so they shouldn't fall off. Fancy being guinea-pig?

Worth a thought. But the best part of $100 all in.

$100 = around £58. Not much more than Climair ones go for. Might be worth the extra for the clips? I have the climair ones and not had any problems yet, but having heard mixed reviews would have gone for an alternative had I found one.

I have had no problems with the Climair ones.
After I used the OEM deflectors I found that they had rubbed the B-pillar paint and that once the plastic tabs start to crack it wont be long until the deflector falls off.
