Did you want that specific brand? I think that they mount on the inside of the trim. I have Ventvisors and they vent on the outside of the window with 3M tape. They are basically the same thing. It is made for the specific vehicle and works awesome. I have them and love them. I got mine at Pep Boys (had to order them) for $50. That includes front and rear windows. Check that option out. :fireman:

I like the ones that mount on the channel. I'd like to stay away from the tape. Does it really keep the water out while you drive in the rain?

Sure does, keeps water out just fine.
I have the tape on ones. They have been on since Nov. of '98, and I have not had a problem with one excpet for a guy at a stereo shop leaned on one and cracked it a few months back.
Got it replaced the same day.

Fresh air in, no rain in.

I have the same as Corey and they do a great job! I love them. As long as you use alcohol and rub off the wax before you put them on, they will NOT come off. I would go with them. They are cheaper and are great! Ventvisors :fireman:

I have the WeatherTechs, I like them a lot, but they are more expensive. I could not find a better price than their own website.

I've had the 3M tape ones on another vehicle and they work fine also.

One thing I like about the WeatherTechs though is the optical clarity, my tape ones were darker and just not as clear as the WeatherTechs plus they fit in the channels quite nicely.

What about wind noise for those of you that have this mod done. Is it bad or does it exist.

Thanks

$79 is a good price. I think I paid $99 for my complete set 2 years ago. Considering the stick-on ones go for about $60, it's worth it to go with the WeatherFlectors. I have some pictures on my webpage if you're interested...

There is some noise due to the turbulance of the wind in the area and all, but it is not bad at all. I mean you will hear it because it is right at your ear, but it will not be a distraction or anything. The benefits far out weigh the one downfall. I use them all the time. They really help to cool down your vehicle in the summer, because you don't have to seal it up and worry about the rain. You can lower the window a good inch or more and should be alright. I love them. They are the very first thing I put on both my vehicles when I bought them. I also think that they make the vehicle look alot better. My opinion though. I say go for it! You can always take them off if you don't like them. Check them out here . They even have free shipping. :fireman:
