I can't find them on the website but are held by tabs at the ends. They do interfere a bit with electric auto window closing, a need to be jogged the last 1/2 inch into full closed. No rattles, never slipped in place, seal very well. KM
Love that color

I'm glad I looked as this thread as I was going to order the Weather Tech as I thought they were the only place tgat offered the in channel window vents. The AVS are almost 1/2 the price.

I was hoping mine wouldn't bind up like that.. After letting mine sit over night, all windows work normally except front passenger. It would bind like yours and rebound and open again. But this morning I checked (about 40 hours since install) and auto up works without binding now.

My windows do not hit the visor edge but the extra thickness added with the visor in the channel really compresses the gasket. Weather it rebounds or doesn't depends on temperatures and the amount of time the window is down, allowing the gasket to return to full thickness. I quickly got into the habit of stopping the window with a 1/4 gap then a few bumps to finish closing. I'm an old fart that gets into routines quickly, so I forget what a pain it was at the beginning. KM

WT in channel for me. If I leave the window(s) down lower than the visor itself for several hours, mine will bind up a bit or bounce back when closing but not a big issue for me. I can do it manually and the window will close with no real issues.

I did have a set of WeatherTech vents in for 2018. I live in WI and we had a spell of -20 F cold that cracked the lips of the visors. Could have been a bad run, they were in channel with an adhesive strip. KM

I had weathertech in channels. They ended up in the trash - would interfere with the automatic up on the window randomly, and after removing, it left a permanent indentation in the weather stripping. I'll probably get some of the avs low profile stick-ons in the future.
