Where to find window visors that dont have to stick to the outside of the car?

I was looking into getting window visors for the summer and I remember hearing that ones exist that slide into the windows and do not have to be tapes on the outside of the windows. I tired to do some searches and could only find the tape ones. Any help would be appreciated.

Ventvisor makes both and do a web search and there's a couple of other companies that make in-channel versions too.

Beware that some these have known to become loose after a couple of years and may even fall out. My mom has 'em on her '99 and after just about three years the driver's side one has gotten pretty rattly above 60mph.


I have the stick on Ventvisors and yes,they don't look as clean as the in-channel but after two years I've had zero issues with them.

Try Pep or Checkers or Autozone since they do carry 'em too and the prices can be cheaper than on-line. I got my visors,bug deflector and sunroof wind deflector all for about $100 from Pep Boys all by AVS.

I bought my in-channel Ventvisors on eBay. It was the best web price at the time and probably still is. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-pc-...spagenameZWD1V

Thanks for all the help. I'll stop by some of the local auto shops to see if they have them.

Buy the weathertecs and you wont have any problems. Buy the AVS or Ventvisors and you will probably get a few years out of them. The Weathertecs fit like a glove but they are a little more expensive (like twice the amount of the others). I have bought them for all of the vehicles I have owned and they are either still on the car or were on it still when I sold it.

Few pics but they are kind of hard to see at the angle.

I'm with 4runnin2 on this one, buy the Macneil Weatherflectors. it. They're a little expensive, but the way I see it, buy it once and forget about it forever. I'm pretty sure that in terms of vent visors, they're the best that you can buy.

Here's a small write-up on them @4runners.org

and here's a photo of them on my truck. They're very sturdy and do not rattle.
