Thanks for the info / pics. What about wind noise at highway speeds? Do they vibrate at all? I drive 80% highway to work which is why I ask.

PS <> I already have a lot of wind noise when driving on the highway.

Default vents

I don't feel that they work real good. The rain that runs off the roof comes staight down and over the vent and runs right into the window opening. They don't quite stick out far enough.

Just put mine on and am pretty happy with them. One word of caution if you get the wade ones the backs look the same but are slightly different ie. slight curve. Just put the wade symbols toward the back of the box and make sure to leave them up for the full 72 hours. If you need more help the guy at wade i talked to is Mike Ori. He is like head of production or design dont remember . TEL# 801-355-0972

there might be a problem with yours...I have never had a problem with mine and I have driven in plenty of rain with the windows part way down.

Wind noise: there is a little, but it is not that loud...not louder than it already is...IMO

I have the Wade ones and they work great. The fronts go all the way down to the bottom of the side mirrors and flare out. Keeps evey drop out while I have the windows opened. I've seen some out there for over 100.00 and these were 50 something and they work great. The hard part was leaving the windows up for 72 hours after installation. Tough to do in the summer heat and Parkway tolls

these are the in channel design.

The VentVisors for the xB have a fitment problem on the front doors. Do a search for more info. I bought a set off Ebay - $35.00 with shipping. Anyone in the Connecticut area want them for $30.00? Never used!!!!

Mine were weathertech, and I'm not happy with them. They were $45.00 just for front.
Rain pours in as it runs off visor.

That really sucks. Mine are from Wade and they work great and were cheap.

I got mine from Wade too, and they fit great and no rain runs inside the window. I highly recommend these to others interested in buying vent visors.

I just got my "wade" window visors for my xB.
I only paid $50 total, but I am disapointed in the quality.

The fit is OK, but you can see a little of the adhesive tape and the gaps around the rubber. They also cause the rear windows to bind a little.

They look nice though.

*UPDATE*
They have been on for over 6 months and still work great!

I have the wade one's too and I think they are worth the money yeah a little of the adhesive tape shows when you install them but you can cut the exess off with an exacto. I like them allot and I'll post pics this weekend.

Does anyone have these that go back to the 3rd pane of glass? Even though it's not functional, it would make this look 100% better as it looks quirky with that last section of the passenger window not having the visor over it. It looks like a piece fell off.

They are " in channel" and held in place by 3M tape.
I guess I need to trim the excess tape.
:?

As for the back 1/4 of the rear window... it's a cool idea, but I have not seen a kit like that.

It still looks good though... More importantly, it works!

rally It definitely looks better on the darker colors like yours, but still I'd pay an extra $15 -20 just for the rear 1/4 pane portion.
