Default Window Vent Visors - In Channel

Hi. Does anyone have the in channel vent visors / wind defectors on their 2015 yet? I purchased them for the previous generation F150, but returned due to the window not going up. Does this issue still persist on the 2015? Thanks.

I have, and tried both styles.
I really liked the look of the vent visors, but once installed hated the increased blind spot they created with the pillar.
And the in channel models I have, did not work at all. I let them sit for several days, tried to get the sun to heat them up in hopes they would seat in better, but no luck. Window would not function.
I finally took them out and they (both styles) are sitting on my work bench.
This is only my opinion, not looking to start arguments if they work or not. For me, they did not.

I have AVS in channel. The auto-windows work if you play around with it and it's sunny, but they didn't fit how I wanted them to in the seam. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't use AVS or I would use the stick on ones.

Thread has mixed reviews on the in channel working or not working. Not sure which route to go. Don't really like the look of traditional stick on or the avs seamless. Thinking about ordering the EGR and see what happens. Any suggestions?

I have the EGR's installed. Love the way they look, window function. .not so much. I took my Dremel and sanded the edge off slightly so the window can slide past it instead of hitting it. Seems to be working 75% of the time. When the window is down, sometimes they rattle.
