Default Ford window visors

Just wondering if anyone has installed the "Ford" brand of smoked window visors on their 2016 F150 supercrew? I purchased a set, but would like to see pictures of them installed. Not sure I like how the front ones will look???

thanks

What is the big advantage of the window visors?

Thanks RZchief ! The visors allow the window to be down a little during rain or snow.

I have a set on my truck. I like them, but I think they contribute to wind noise at higher speeds. I did not notice this kind of wind noise with the visors on my previous truck, a Ridgeline, so I was surprised at the noise after I had these installed on my King Ranch. At any rate, I want the visors, regardless of any additional wind noise.

I always thought they where for smokers. So they could crack the window in the rain to smoke without getting wet.

Not appearance, that's for sure. Makes a $60K truck look like lousy, IMO.

I thought about getting these, simply for the fact that I "thought" maybe they might help reduce the amount of moisture getting into the door locks.
My 2016 rear doors locks continually freeze, the dealership says parts might be back ordered until summer, and they really could care less about my 2yr old stuck in the back babyseat. I'm getting desperate.

JPN CND, they will not reduce moisture getting into the door locks. They reduce moisture getting in through a window that is cracked open. I have visors on all four windows and trouble with the frozen locks on three doors.
