In Channel Wind Deflectors

[spm1us]

Has anyone installed the EGR IN CHANNEL wind deflectors on their 2500 HD crewcab? Some reviews say they cause the windows to bind in up and down operation? Looking for opinions and experience with IN CHANNEL deflectors - Any other brands used??? Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I had them on my ‘16 lml. I found they caused the top 1/4” or so of the window to scratch and occasionally they would bind up and not allow the window to roll up but they looked better than the stick on’s.

I put them in a regular cab, they kept wanting to fall out. Put some 3M tape on the bottom corner by the mirror, all is well.

Installed AVS vent shade in channels on my 2021 AT4 2500HD.. no issues on front or rear.

Had the in channel ones on my last truck, didn't care for them.  Got dealer installed outside ones this time.  Like them, easier to clean the windows and I think they look just fine.

I have the GM in channel design which i believe are made by EGR. the fella at the parts department said all the guys there have them on their trucks and told me when i put them on try and do it when it is warmer and to leave the windows up for 3 days, if they cause the window to retract, open the window and push outward on the deflector. i had to do that a few times and they seem to be ok but to be honest i would rather have the outside mount but the in channel design is much better looking when installed. i originally ordered the GM outside mounted design but didn't like the way they were opened on the front side near the mirror
