Have had them on my truck for almost three years (come September) . . . fit great . . . look great . . .

I think the inside fit would look better on an "L" than it does my XLT . . .

I like the outside fit better. It covers the ugly rubber window trim. That being said I don't have any on my truck.

I've had them on my 01 L for about a year and a half. I don't think I would buy them again??? When I have taken my L thru a "brushless" auto wash, the high-speed air blowers at the end will blow them right out of their groove.

Hmmm. I was kinda' wondering about them. One of my friends has them on his Civic and they've cause his window tint to peel. I think I'll have to pass. Thanks for all the feedback, guys!

I had the exterior mount Ventvisors but they blew off at about 130mph on the NJ Turnpike.

The Weather Tech inside version has been on my
truck for over a year. There is NO comparison to
the outside version. If installed correctly, they are
bulletproof. I have never had any problems at speed
(147+), and they go through the carwash just fine.

They are designed to "lock down" over the lower rubber
molding on the front end only, and the fit is fantastic.

From three feet away you can hardly tell they are on there.

The profile from the front is very slim and although they
are a tad more expensive than the Vent-Shades, the
great German Engineering shines through.

Get them. You won't be disappointed.

Cliff

I've had them for over a year (the kind that fits in the groove--no tape). No problems with the window tint or with blowing off (and that's at 130+ mph).

From my experiences, they're bulletproof once they're set well.

I also think they look pretty sharp from the exterior--go well with the tint. From inside, they're a little too purple, but from outside, they're great. Helps quite a bit in the heat to leave the window slightly cracked--you can't tell from the outside unless you're really looking.

They certainly WILL come out in some car washes.

However, I've had 'em in for almost 4 years, and had one pop out only once.

I have had Weathertechs on 4 vehicles. They have never come out at speed or in car washes. They look better than the tape ons IMO. They are the only kind I will ever buy.
