I used to have a set of Auto ventshade tape on vindow vents on my 02 screw{FYI-they were JUNK!} Last week when it was really hot out my drivers door one started to loosen up. I thought no problem I'll just take em off and get some two sided tape and re-do them. When I went to get the rears off they snapped in half Did not want my screw looking goofy so I removed all the visiors-now I have that unsightly grey tape residue around the tops of my doors and I want to get it off. Some of it is on the paint These were on my truck when I purchased it usesd in 06 and the preivous owner installed them. I still want window vents but I want the in channel style like I had on my previous explorer.{look cleaner IMO}Can anyone reccomend a in-channel windo visor?

 

WD-40 or GooGone will remove the residue.

 

I have tired wd-40 already and it really hasnt done much I have the blisters on my fingers to prove it!

 

The stuff must really be thick. I have always used WD-40 with success. If you have it handy, something else that will probably work is Bug and Tar Remover.

 

yeah when I removed mine they were a real PITA to get off the only thing that worked for me was some heat and this stuff:



3M Adhesive Remover

 

I may have to try that!If I use my fingernails it comes off but s l o w l y. Plus it is raining off and on where I'm at

Can anyone recomend a in channel window visor that is good-I'm NOT too impressed w/ Auto ventshade co.

 

I got the vent visors from Weathertech. Both the front and rears for my Screw are in-channel, however the rears do have some type of adhesive to keep them in the channel.

I don't plan on taking mine off anytime soon, but I am concerned about that adhesive in that channel.

Other than that, I love my vent visors. Cheap, easy to install, and look good.

 

I noticed that you have the 04-08 body mine is an 02. does anyone know if te weather tech visiors use tape on a 02 screw?
