hi.. long time lurker, first post... i'm hoping some of you Gentlemen can help me.. i installed weather tech in channel window vents about 3 months ago & cant get the windows to stop bouncing back when i put them up on auto.. its driving me insane, to the point i'm thinking i should replace the two front ones with surface stick on... is there a secret trick to making these work ?.. i've had weather tech vents in other vehicles with no problems.. any and all advise much appreciated..

Tagged for same info. Just ordered the same ones. I like the look much better then the stick on ones.

 

There are many threads and posts regarding this issue.

Yep, that's a very common issue. I avoided installing those and went worth the avs lo pro stickons. They look great but my only complaint is lack of air flow.

 

I had the in channel avs for about a yr, I got tired of the bounce back to. I called avs and they shipped me a set of theyre low profile seamless visors for free!

 

Avs has amazing customer service. They replaced a broken visor for me with a entire free set

 

Agreed, they mistakinly sent the standard stick on 4 piece set after I called and explained I was unhappy with the inchannels, and asked for the seamless version!

Then I called, and made them aware of the mistake. The lady apologised, said to keep them and she overnited the seamless visors for me!

Lund International who makes AVS products, has great customer service indeed....

 

I've always preferred the in-channel vents too, and I had the bounce-back problem at first as well. Doing the battery reset that is in various threads on here worked perfectly and now both of my front windows do auto-up without complaint with the in-channel vent visors. Only took about 2 minutes and an extra set of hands.

 

Ive always liked them to, but hate how they always etch/scrath the top edge of the glass!

 

thanks for the reply's.. can someone direct me to the correct fuse & location for the front windows, is there one fuse for both or a fuse each ?.. Or should I do the battery disconnect method ?.. If I disc the battery what else will I lose that needs to be reset..
If all else fails I think I'll replace them with stick ons.. I've seen 2 types, one sticks to the painted part of the door, the other sticks to the rubber window seal.. Any preferences ?
I think I prefer the ones that stick to the rubber but not sure how secure / long lasting they'd be....
Sorry for the long winded post
