Default Looking For Window Vent Visors

I am looking for the best place to buy window vent visors, and what are the best, in the channel or stick on?

I think your going to find various answer to this one. Some like the in-channel, some like the adhesive kind. I got the Wades In-Channel ones off of Ebay. I am happy with mine.

Also there are Vent Visors and the ESam which people rave about. But the ESam are quite costly. But that is up to you.

I've done some research on them as well because I'm looking to get some myself. I have heard complaints about the Wades In-channel ones. Some people say that it eventually ruins the power windows. I have yet to hear complaints about the esams, but at $230, it's slowing down my decision making.
Lets hear from some people who have the Wades, with no problems. How long have you had them?

I have the Wades and I really like them. They won't ruin your windows no matter what people say. Buy them from Fuji at www.fujiz.com. He'll give you a good deal and you'll be helping out a fellow Scion Lifer!

I want the style that goes in the channel, I found them for 60.00 but they are currently out of stock, but then I seen one of the scion pics of the stick ons that go all the way around the glass on the rear doors, I kinda like that also, where do you get those and how much are those?

Those are the ESAMS, they're like $250 or something. There's some Cali dealers who sell them, but I'm not sure exactly who they are.

Seriously, ask Fuji. He will match that $60 price for you.

Between my cars and my wife's, I've had Vent Visors on probably our last 6 vehicles. I've never paid more than $55 for a 4-piece set. Is there a reason people arent putting the Vent Visor brand on their xAs or xBs? Just currious, because I'd like to get them on ours now. I really don't want to pay $90 for vents.

Vent Visors don't look clean...the extre grove they put at the bottom for strength breaks up the clean lines...

Vent Visors are also thinner...they break easier in the cold...

to each their own...get what you like...

My Hot Lava brother is right about the lines. Don't know about the quality personally with the ventvisors. They're by the "Auto Ventshade Company" and I can get them. xB set is $65 plus shipping if you want them.

Notice that I bought the Wade ones from Fuji though... Pics when I get to Colorado of mine!

I bought the Wade ones on Ebay. I believe the only ones on Ebay are the Wade or VentShades ones we are discussing. I have had my Wades for about 3 months with no problems.

I can't justify spending $230 for 4 small slim pieces of plastic.
