They look good but don't offer anything really.

Due to them being so low profile water and stuff still gets in when cracked. About the only thing they are good for is looks and cracking windows while parked.

I think the ones that sit further away from window are better but not as good looking.

I'm taking mine off to sell tommorow.

I have the windows down just above the bottom of the visors and open the rear window and that has worked for me.


I just installed these yesterday. I cut the tab off.

I've tried several things and I'm not a fan, they look great but function is lacking for me. I want to be able to crack them going down the road in rain and they let in too much water or aren't opened enough to be of use when they don't let water in.

Installed right the in channel vent visors should not interfere with the auto up. I put them on my Lincoln MKX with auto up and had an issue because I did not take my time and install them right. Took them back out and made sure I had them up as far as they would go, the channel rubber was not distorted, and left the windows up for a few days and they are now perfect with no issues.

I tried everything with my old AVS in-channels and nothing work.
Worst $40 I spent and they cracked when I removed them. (Probably my frustration) Fortunately- After arguing with Autoanything they refunded me 85% of my money.

Not true. I have egr in channel visors, there is only one way to install them, and they DO interfere with the auto up. There isn't a person in here who had had them that hasn't had a problem. You either try the window reset or live with them. I chose to live with it bc I don't let my windows down that much, but I DO wish they went all the way up on their own.

The embarassing part is when you have a friend or family member in your truck and they go to roll the window up and the window doesn't even work in your brand new truck with 1k miles on it. They don't know what's wrong and then you have to explain for 10 minutes to not make yourself look like an idiot
