In Channel or Stick on rain guards?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I purchased the matte black EGR in-channel ones through GM.  The fronts are simply pressure-fit, the rears include some double-sided tape to stay put.  They were easy to install, look great, and do the job. 

 

However, I have noticed some minor scuffing where the glass slides against the visors, particularly on the front windows, which I use often.  I think it happens mostly during the winter, when the truck gets covered in salt and sand.  The front ones also rattle over bumps when the windows are fully down.  I'm going to use a little bit of double-sided tape to see if I can fix the issue.

Just call EGR directly -- they will send you some double-sided tape for the front ones.

I went with the AVS 'low profile' outside channel ones. Nice flat look. I'm not a big fan of the bubble looking in channel ones.

How are these holding up? Any more pics?

I had the AVS inchannels but the rear would not stand up to the heat and would warp. Customer service was great, but had 2 sets do the same thing, second set warped in 2 days. I returned the replacements for the replacements. Trying to decide which way to go now.

13 months later, they still look new. I’ll post pictures tomorrow.

 

UPDATE: New pics.

I have weathertech's in channel front window rain visors - they've held up great actually had them on 1 truck 2.5 years got totaled then put them on my current '15 & have been in place for 3+ years no issue. 

I don't mess w/ the rear stick-on type, seems like its just a matter of time before the adhesive breaks down & they start to fall off or they could also get torn off if you do any backwoods driving.
