In-channel Window Visors

[MattHicks2010]

I am thinking about ordering a pair of in-channel visors for my truck, does anyone have these on there truck or know someone that does? Do they seem to hold up just as well as the stick on kind?

I've got the WeatherTech in channel vent shades on my truck. I've had them on since June. I don't like the "stick on" type...I've had them before and my dad and brother both have them on their trucks and there is always one shade that doesn't stick and starts flapping and bouncing after a while. With the in channel visors, there is no tape to come unstuck. They did increase wind noise slightly, but not enough for me to not like them.

The guy i work with has them and it looks like it wore the glass a bit were the window goes into the channel. I got the tape on ones and i like them but they sound like a window is always opened a little bit. I guess there is a quirk either way.

I have the stick on visors on my truck only because the PO already had them installed. But if I were to purchase them, I would go with weather tech in channel if they are available. My dad has had the IC visors on his previous 03 Avalanche, and he also get them for his 08 Sierra when he got that about 2 years ago. I really like weather tech products overall, they are very durable, and the visors and bug shields won't fade and look like crap in 2 or 3 years either

I have the inchannel vent visors. I have had them since 03. Love them. No issues at all. I just can't remember the brand. Weather Tech makes products, it I had to order new I would go with them.

I have the in channel ones. Weather tech I think, I've put them on every truck I've owned. They tend to add a little windnoise and can scratch the glass if any dirt gets in the channel (impossible not to) but it's only around the lip. I like the in channel ones better because they dont look like a stick-on after thought

[RyanbabZ71]

Yes they do

 

I have the in channel in my truck and the stick on on my wifes Tahoe

 

My only complaint is when washing the truck. It is damn near impossible to get a wash mitt/towel between it and the glass to clean and dry. I have to end up roll the windows down for a final detail.

Thank you guys for all of the feedback. I do believe I am going to be going with the Weathertech IC visors. They are not that expensive at all for just a two door truck. Thank you again for the feedback

Wow, I've had the stick on type for years on several vehicles, I've never had one come off yet. As far as I'm concerned its the best type out there. Didn't even know they had this "in channel" type

 

Anyone got some pics?

i think the in channel look better but i have had AVS stick ons on a lot of my trucks and i love them.

I have Putco in-channel ones on mine and had AVS in-channel ones on the old truck. No problems at all. The Putco ones look really nice. they have an angled look to them. The AVS ones started to fade a little, but that was after 5 years.

 

My wife has the Weather-Tech in-channel ones on her Cobalt. They are thicker material and look more robust, but they seem to stick out more.

 

I would not get stick-on ones. The OEM stick-on ones that were on my Dad's 2500 started coming off after about a year or so. He has since switched to in-channel units.

[dlstewart01]

I've had both. The stick-ons would sometimes come loose. The in-channel would ware places in the channel and both caused too much wind noise so...I don't have any now and never will again.

 

The other week, I saw an old Chevy truck around early 1990s. He had pop-riveted the stick-on visors to his truck...

[brandon_guzzo]

I had in the inchannel and it ended up wrecking my tint film on the driver side (scuffed the Hell out of it). So i had tint redone and put stick on ones.

[RyanbabZ71]

Here are my in-channel (AVS). Sorry not the best picture.

I have the in-channel ones on my truck also. I just recently bought them from a forum member and installed them. I really like them because I can leave my windows cracked during the day and let the heat out of the truck some. When you are looking to buy, they now make an in-channel low profile version that I think would probably make less noise when running down the road. I am very happy with mine.
