Never understood the need for rain guards. Do you drive around in the rain with the windows open? I know I don't.

they are not just for use in the rain...you can leave your windows cracked in the hot sun, or when it's raining outside to let some of the interior heat out. that's the main reason i have them...

as for the best looking ones? any of the in channel ones look great. i just installed EGR in channel today on my '12 Screw and love the way they look. however, the fronts are bit of a pain because the new trucks have one touch front windows and when the window gets in a bind it will roll half way back down. so you have to use the normal power window mode, not the one touch mode. i will see how they do after 48 hours of setup time.

smokers visors some call 'em. In-channel don't work very well with anti-pinch features.

AVS Seamless. Search; avs seamless here and you'll see how they look on the truck. It makes the cab appear to have a lower profile,especially if the windows are tinted. After
I saw the pics I ordered a set from Auto Anything and had my front windows tinted while
I waited on delivery.

I hate to tell ya this, but judging by your truck in the first picture rain gaurds arent gonna do ya much good, they will probably collect the water instead of repel it.

or, are you from australia?


all jokes aside I prefer the in-channel type. but I remember reading that on the newer trucks the in-channel style wont let the windows close all the way.

I use Weathertech in channel vent visors. They fit great and look good. The main reason I have them is so I can smoke when it's raining without getting the interior wet.

There is a thread somewhere here about Weathertech making some that will work with the newer style power windows.
