They do help, but the effect is mostly noticeable at lower speeds.  Not much 
difference at freeway speeds, IMO.

What some people have done is to fabricate an additional wing that mounts into 
the side curtain pockets, and sticks out along the top of the door.  I don't 
know of anyone offering them commercially, but they aren't too hard to 
fabricate yourself.  Although I don't have them on my car, the ones that Fred 
Thomas made seemed to make a big difference on his TR3A:
