that's what's worries me. But thanks!

Well its going to be one or the other.
You buy the one that sticks inside your door, it wont fall out but it will make your window loose and cause it to ratle and make the wind extra loud when you are driving (only on the frwy)
or you buy the ugly ones that stick outside your door and maybe in acouple of years it will fly of when you are driving.
Just decide one that is best for you.

I just installed the AVS visors and was wondering if anyone else had any issues with it not sitting as flush on the passenger side vs the driver side? The driver side fit like a glove the passenger side seems like it won't go all the way in on the back portion (the horizontal part going towards the back of the car)

It isn't really that noticeable and you would probably have to really look at it to see but i was just wondering if anyone else has this issue? I could not see any reason why it would sit differently on one side than another..didn't seem like anything was actually stuck in my window or anything

well the old 2x tape you could take off with some goo gone or other bug/tar remover. but as far as the pieces, the only way i can think of right now to get them out bould be like needle nose pliers or something to get in the track and grab them.

I've had the Weathertechs for about 2 months now. The first month I had them, they were perfectly fine. After a while, they started rattling while the windows were up. Weathertech should have probably included double sided tape or some sort of adhesive to help their visors stay in place. The visors also get dragged down slightly when you roll down your windows. Good product, but improvements can be made.

i've had my weathertechs since 2007 and the only noise they make is the extra wind noise at high speeds and small rattles only when the window is wide open. The rattling, though, gets drowned out by the rattles caused by the hatch, roof, headliner, b-pillar, etc. and no, I didn't tape/glue/silcone anything. If i wanted to, I could tug and wiggle it and it'll come right out. Heck, i've uninstalled it about 3 times to lend to a friend and it'll still stay in there with no problem.
Only problem other than the wind noise (which isn't really a problem at all) is that if you're lowered and go into a drivethru, bigass drinks will give you problems when trying to get it through the window.
