Looking at buying a set of Vent Visors for my crew cab, just wondering what people prefer, in-channel or stick-on?

I am thinking of just buying a set of Ford stick ons...

Also should I paint them to match or just leave them black? Does anyone have a picture of a white F-150 with colour matched Vent Visors?

 

I also am contemplating vent visors...alot of problems with the in channels on the new trucks.....

 

As in this generation? What happens?

I had some in channels on my 2006 F150 with no issues.

 

If you have the auto-stop on the windows, when the window is going up it catches the in-channel visor and stops the window. I think it only does it the 1st few times though...

 

I had the in channels on my Xterra and they scratched the s#!t out of the edges of my windows.

 

Just about any 2011+ F150 will have issues with the in-channel variety. I had planned to go with them, but after some research, it's the stick on variety for me.

Both of the main issue have already been mentioned.....the "auto" feature on the windows will cause problems....when the window(s) meet the resistance of the in-channel vent visor, the window will roll back down. Also, over a short period of time, the upper 1/2" of the window(s) will become seriously scratched up....especially if you live in a dusty/windy area.

 

Yes, a common complaint i keep reading about the in-channel type.
I had stickons on every vehicle i had over the last 15 years and am doing the same on my new truck. It is very important to clean the area with the little alcohol wipe that comes in the box. Let it dry and i use masking tape as a guide. Only have one shot at it.!
I do not let the dealer install them for me. Seems as every time they have the kid at the dealership, that washes the cars, stick them on, they eventually come loose. Maybe he don't use the wipes or maybe he does not let it dry....I get better results doing it myself.

 

My pal has had AVS stick-ons for 11 years with no problems. He has one that shades the rear window also, with no problems.

I've had them for 25 months with no problems, too. I use auto-washes all the time, also.

Applied by the shop that tinted my windows with lifetime warranty.

If I had bought the in-channel, the shop wanted me to sign a waiver releasing them from any repair to the window motor.

 

I bought a set of Ford stick on's, and wrapping them in White vinyl tonight to match the body!

 

I ordered a set of the AVS Seamless over the weekend.

 

My in-channels stick my driver's side window every so often, but have not noticed them scratching the top of the windows....I have them on my front doors, and SuperCab rear windows.

 

i have the stick on avs on my truck and love them.

 

In-channel for the last 3+ months with no issues on my 2011 SCAB. They did take a few days to settle in (the auto windows kicked back), but there is a little trick to get them up tight so the vent visor will seat.

Also, my vent visors came with inserts to open the window channel a little extra. I used them for the first couple days and then pulled them out. No issues to speak of now.

I think the inchannel look much better than the outside... IMO

 

had them and loved them on my 03.....
put a set on my 06 and too much wind noise....

never again...

 

I put in-channel ones on my 2012 Supercab and works well. I like the looks better. Had a small problem first time closing but great since.
