window vent/shades

Postby bend » Thu Sep 08, 2011 9:19 am

I'm looking for some window/ vent shades for my '06. I have some "in the channel" ones for my 09 silverado that work good, but they don't leave much room between the window and the shade. I prefer the ones that go in the channel as apoosed to the ones that are attached with double sided tape, but I'm open to either. Does anyone care to make any suggestions on a particular brand, and if you have the stick on ones have you had any problems with them coming off? Thanks for your input.

I have the extreme weather floor mats and they are great. Thought about the window vents.

I love having them on my truck, they are functional and they look good. Unfortunately the drivers door one is broken so to replace it I have to buy a kit for the Frontier regular cab (I don't need to buy another 4 pcs).

Oh yeah, AVS Ventvisor, smoked.

thanks for all the replies, but no one is stating weather your using the stick on ones or the in the channel ones. As I stated before I'm using the in channel ones on my silverado but hey are close to the window which makes throwing a cigarette out the slightly open window tricky. I'd really like some input on the stick on ones if anyone is using them because I think they may stick out further from the window.

Stop throwing cigarettes out the window and you won't have a problem. In Channels look more OEM then the stick on.

I used to eat them, but I had to stop cause they gave me heartburn.

Stick on ones. Holds very well as long as the surfaces are prepped properly.

I just installed a set of Lund AVS In-Channel VentVisors 194512 yesterday. The front windows installed without a hitch. The ones for the rear windows did not fit properly. :x

The bottom piece towards the rear sticks out enough that it blocks the window from closing. I spent 20 mins with a rotary tool carefully cutting out the bottom piece at an angle so the window can get past it and close all the way :lol: Anyone else have in-channel vents?

Over all I like the in-channel vents better than the stick on version. My coworker has the stick ons on his Pathy. The in-channels visors look cleaner IMO. 8)

Better yet, stop smoking altogether and you would have more money for mods.

Weather Tech in channel 4pc set dark tint part number 82367. EGR 4pc set dark tint part number 575801. Both those work good and fit good. AVS has had some fit issues and staying in issues. Thats for a 2006 Pathfinder thats what u said you have.

Anyone care to post pictures of both the stick on and in channels?
