Yes they do. The vent visor inserts into your door between the frame of the window opening and the window weatherstrip. It is not in the way of your door glass at all. I got the two piece set for the front doors, I felt it wasn't needed for the rear doors plus it was less money. The ones I bought are made by weathertech, good product.

Auto vent shade is what I had on my corolla, But even though I had no problems with them I would still recomend the ventvisor by weathertech because they just look nicer. If your not in a hurry, I will wash my car in the next week & post a picture of them on my car.

No, it's not in the way of the mirror at all.

Wind noise is minimal, not enough to distract me when talking to someone in the car. I've had them on the car so long, I really can't say if it's reduced or increased.
