External rain deflectors needed

Looking for some good externally mounted rain deflectors for my SS.

Don't like how little air flow is between the internal ones.

Any suggestions?

Not many out there most are in channel. I found these

I have the Weather Tech in channel, very happy with them. If you do get the out side type , replace the double sided tape with 3M .

Do you mean the kind that stick onto to the metal vs the kind that mount in the window channel? I have had both, didn't notice a difference.
Did you think to GoOgle "car rain deflector" or "ventshade" then look at shopping or images?

Explain what you mean by little air flow.

Part of the reason for them is to limit the air blowing into your face, much like old fashioned "wing vents".

The "in channel" have terrible tape, and one sticks when I roll the window up. Lots the passenger side already. Don't want to do in-channel on the SS.

the space between the window and the plastic on the ones I have is very minimal, I would like more spacing and more air flow.

Yes my AVS in-channel smoked ones do have tape. Mine have been on since about 2009 & never an issue.
