Default Vent Shades for front and rear doors

Hey,

Living south of Miami, FL for the next few years working. Want to get some vent shades so I can roll down the windows a little bit while I am at work/home to vent the heat from the inside.

Who makes some that are high quality ?

In-channel or exterior mounting? One better than the other?

I have 35% tint on the front side windows and 55% on the front window.

I know its illegal to tint the front window, but 55% is just a little darker than stock. So far, no problems with the man.

Thanks

So far the only ones I've seen are for the Corolla Rumion (Japan's xB). You can get them from newscionparts. Not cheap though. I have seen discussion of some of the aftermarket companies making them, but haven't seen anyone post if they have them or if they're out yet.

I just asked the dealer about them about a week ago and they were out and said they were 69.00 for all four, I asked if he was sure and he said yes. I seen them on eBay for 174.00...May have to check back with dealer when I get a chance.

The dealer is probably thinking you have a Gen 1. Wade, Auto Vent Shades and Weather Tech don't make them, as of yet for the xB 2008.

I hope it is true...I need some before summer comes around...I hate to have to spend $250.00 for a set plus shipping.

Please keep this thread at the top of the priority list...

I saw those before I wrote this thread. It said 2004 -2008, so I was a little wary about buying them. Let us know how it turns out.

The same site lists a bug deflector for a 2004-2008 Scion XB and comes from Weathertech, I called Weathertech to inquire about a bug deflector for my '08 XB, they told me they are working on producing one, so how does Autoparts Warehouse have it in stock when Weathertech doesn't list one for the '08 XB??

ON EDIT: I just called Autoparts Warehouse about their wesite listing a Bug Deflector for a 2008 XB, two different sales people told me they don't have any parts listed for an '08 XB, What's up with that???

I have my Parts Mgr checking in to this for me. We have an account with VentVisor. I will inform everyone once I found out from her. Also, the site with the 2004-2008 Visors being available. You may want to double check to make sure they will fit the 2008 specifically.

Why you selling them? Don't like the look with them on? Did they do a good job of keeping the rain out with the window down a little bit?

Thanks

I can safely say that THESE PEOPLE SUCK!!!! their site says one thing and their product says another. Customer service is outsourced to Guess where?? OVERSEAS! Called to complain and am getting run around right now. Don't Bother with Autopartswarehouse IMO. Just a bad experience all around. Luckily DHL is 5 minutes from my house
Ventvisors online 106$
Shipping Time Quick
Lesson learned PRICELES!!!
