I agree it seems like it would work. My car sits in the rain all day at work for months at a time. I always wipe away the water at the roof line prior to opening the door to get in. The price ain't bad. If you decide to try them.... please let me know how they work.

I put them on my car (Ecklers). Before, the car leaked like a seive around the forward top turn of the window, both sides. 
A ride through the carwash was an adventure, I always carried a beach towel in the car! to drape over my lap. I installed the drip rails the same time I re-rubbered the windshield and also put in the "Squeek eliminators". The drips have gone away by about 95%. 
The squeeks stopped for about 2 months but have started up again. :o

The rain gutters are a good idea, don't know if they are worth $55 though.
As for the squeaks, just re-fit the top to the car and you shouldn't have any squeaks. The instructions are in the tech tips section accessed through the drop down header labeled "other" at the top of the page. Should take about 1.5 hrs to get it re-fit to your car.

You are right, there is not much to them, but the fit is excellent, the install is easy and they hardly can be seen. Whether that is worth the $$, I guess, depends on how tolerant one is of water on the inside.
Like, what are the alternatives?
