I'm curious too... I've been eye-balling the WeatherTech Side window deflectors.

I prefer the in channel. IMO they look cleaner, and hold up better. Exterior more likely to have failure of the tape and then they flap in the breeze. Had that problem on the last two sets of externals.

I love the look of the in channel visors much more then the exterior ones. I have been told however that because they are just installed by pressure (no tape) that they can fall out while driving and also that they can be taken right off (stolen) even when the window is rolled up. Anybody have any experience or comments about this?

They have two way tape on the lip that goes against the channel, and yes if I needed to pull them out , they would come right off , but you might need new two way tape , no big deal. Also I read your previous post, no the factory ones won't fall out even at 90 , lol, and they can't be stolen, without major damage occurring if your window are up, don't believe everything you read on the net!

I prefer in-channels since you don't stick them on the paint. I had a set of the stick on type on my 98 and one came loose and would slap against the door on the interstate so I just removed them. I have a set of in-channel Weathertechs on my truck and so far they've been great, even with all of the windows down on the interstate. They also don't use any glue at all which is a plus for me.

I got the AVS as well installed by the dealer from day1. In the summer when we got some hotter days the two rears would actually slide out of place like the glue was melting or something. The dealer reinstalled them when I brought it in about a month ago so all good for now but things have cooled down a bit here so we shall see how they hold up.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
