Hello sorry I don't have any pics but I just ran down to my local Pep Boy's and picked up the visors that slip into the window channel rather than the ones that stick on the outside of the truck. I think the in-channel visors look alot cleaner and they have worked well for me

I agree. I had the kind that stuck on and they were starting to break from the carwash/etc. When it came time to take them off, it was a PITA. I think the in-channels look better also.

I have a set for sale...


They are the VentShades In-Channel style... To me, they are the best you can get. Still in excellent condition. They are super sleek, and do not stick out like most of the others out there. I paid about $90 for them, will ship them to your door for $75

They allow you to crack your windows a little so it won't be scorching hot inside. I only lower them when I'm at home or at work. Using a windshield sunscreen and cracking the windows, the temp inside is around 110 vs. 130 if I don't crack the windows.

It not only helps reduce the interior temperature but also saves the dash from the sun. I had a 1994 F150 SCab and the day I traded it in for my 2007 SCrew, the dash was in excellent shape for being 13 yrs old. I just got one of those sunshades from Wally World and use it everyday. If I know it's going to rain or be cloudy all day, then I won't put it in the window. I'm a firm believer in using it. It only takes maybe 10-15 seconds to put it in the windshield but it is worth taking the time to do it.

Hey there Rydin...
What did you pay for those visors/shades at Pep Boys?
Do you have a Super-CAB?... Crew-CAB?
I'm just up the road from you near the Hollis line... Broad St.
Are your visors/shades clear, smoked, dark tinted?
Let me know when you get a moment?
I'm interested in a set for myself.
Thanks, nhford
