Default Hatch vents?

I had one of these devices for my c4, and it messed up the latch, and got the window out of alignment.

Are there any problems using the hatch vents for the c5? I found them on Ecklers for $75, but that's pretty outrageous for a little bit of bent metal.

Mine work fine the only complaint I have is that it takes a couple clicks to get the hatch to release when I have them on.

Do they kill the turbulence when the top is off?
