I had the same question on my 99 so I bought them to find out. I got tired of bees and wasps blowing in. The ventshades help a bit. I noticed I still get bug splatter on the side windows even with them on so they don't get deflected completely away. However I think it depends on whether you have the window all the way down. There are other benefits to having them though.
Hope this helps.

I think it is actually the mirrors deflecting the bugs in. Maybe switch to the small mirrors? The ventshades are stuck on above the mirrors. Maybe fabricate something between the mirror struts?

I can't wait till winter then the window can come down again.
