Was thinking of getting these for my car, can you explain how they make it easier to steal?

You're opening your windows leaving a gap. It's much easier to get a tool in to open the door vs a sealed up vehicle.

How much of a risk this is depends on where and how long you're leaving your car though.

Note that no gap doesn’t mean no problem, just slightly harder.

That's caused by leaving a gap though, not by the rain guards themselves. You aren't really answering the question.
