Default Wind deflector availability

I have a 2007 XK. One of the things I lament is the demise of rain drip rails on the roof. Does anyone know of a wind deflector available in the U.S. for this car? You know, the smoke-colored plastic things that attach above the side windows. I'm not keen about the way they look, but I get really irritated when I lower my window, and rain rushes in.

Won't work on our cars. The deflectors your thinking about mount to a window frame, which we don't have.

Have to admit I was displease to open my door durring a heavy downpour, sit down and have a rooftop full of beaded up water cascade onto my lap and shoulder.... I mean wow...really?....
I know GB gets rainfall similar to Seattle, so why wasn't a water channel designed into the door seams?

Ah well, it is what it is....
