Default Vent Visors

I am looking for some vent visors. I have a question though. If they are in-channel will they in anyway mess up the tint on my windows? (I assume in-channel means the snap into the channel where the glass slides up and you don't need 3M tape?????)


Ive seen these

Also heard Pep Boys has some. Any opinions?

your tint is on the inside of the window...the visors will only touch the outside of your window...they still use 3m tape but they are held in place better instead of just kinda sittin on the outside of your car

I thought there were other ones that didn't use 3M tape. That kind of slide up in to the groove where you window goes?

The Ventvisor brand use tape ... and yes they are in channel versions. I used my $50 gift card and got mine from the dealer. They are very nice and VERY EASY to install.

Ok well I guess they all use 3M.

Can someone explain what in-channel is to me then? If they are not in-channel what are they? And don't say out-channel smartass ;)

inchannel goes up "in the channel" where the top of the window seals with the door
the other ones mount on the outside of where the top of the window seals with the door...on the black weather stripping

in channel go on the inside of the window channel...obviously....the other ones just use the 3m tape to stick to the complete exterior......the advantage to in-channel is you don't have to worry-so much-about them gettin ripped off by pressure washers or whatever.....and the tape won't become de-stickied and make your visors

If you are interested in the vent visors that are in channel and do not use 3M tape then get Weatherflectors. They are very nice and you can get them in 2 shades. The website is http://www.weathertech.com/store/veh...pt_choice_id=0

I have them on my car if you want to see what they look like. Take a look at my profile.
