AWE Wind Diffuser
I bought these because I have had issues with the headliner running HPDE with the windows down and thought they would help. For my car, the "simple, easy installation" involves disassembling the door. There is no way I am inclined to turn this into a major project. Has anyone actually done this? Removing side air bag cover and door panel X 2 to do both sides. Sheesh!

You have the hidden screw version, I guess? I went with a competitor (Anima Motorsports) and the install truly was super easy, although perhaps your setup requires door card removal no matter what.
That being said, these really did make a noticable difference in my Boxster, moving the air flow about 6 inches further behind me. Best wishes for your install.

Edit: Responded to the OP about the install.

I installed the Anima Motorsport Air Foil and I only had to remove the inner door triangle trim, but there are some YT videos on how to remove the door card; I followed Project 981's video. The video shows you have to remove 3 trim pieces and 4 bolts behind them, then you pull up on the card. The door also has these hooks on the inside that you could use to hang the card, if you don't need to remove it completely or while you remove/reconnect the door lock cable and connector. I used the inner door handle/pull to pull up on the card, I did not want to use the top edge of the door card to do it because it seemed that action could leave a gap between the top outer edge of the door and the side trim piece. Also, because these door cards are prone to delamination. I would say because of the door card removal, it will probably take you 30 minutes to do the second door. Good luck!

The 981 is very easy to work on and parts fit back together nicely. I would not be afraid to dive into this and you will defintely notice a difference after the install.
