I used these on my F150, not 100% happy with them. When I put up the windows, they go back down, like they've run into something. I have to quickly put them back up to ge them to override the "feature". Due to this, I take them off in the winter.

I never even realized there was that feature on the windows. I could see not needing them in the winter too.

What other brands are there? I have been happy with most WeatherTech stuff I have bought.

There are two types of these vent visors as they are known, outside adhesive or in the track with some small adhesive. The in track type presents a neater exterior but if not installed properly or the wrong size, can cause issues. There is a child safety feature of the newer power windows that if an obstruction of certain force is met, the window will stop or go back down. I had it happen on one of my 5 vehicles I have used them, I trimmed the plastic and used a heated hair blower to make the glass not hit the visor. Got it to work. Check with the manufacturer, they have have sent the wrong model, but they will work once you eliminate the binding that is occurring.

Dave
I think going around the top and sides makes it look OEM by blending well. Nice job 👍.

I looked at these too Jim, but best I could figure, the were "friction" fit with no mechanical attachments. Maybe in the winter they shrink just enough to allow them to move a little.

When they eliminated the vent window, the need for the vent visor arose.

We've put the WeatherTech window rain visors on several Toyota vehicles, and the only problem was with the use of the "auto" (continuous) up feature of the window switch. If you click "auto" up, that activates the safety feature that immediately lowers the window if it hits resistance before the programmed end of it's upward travel - like when the window encounters the in-channel visor. If instead of "auto" up, you just use the regular momentum switch for up, the window will snug up closed just fine and not back off. At least that's our experience with several vehicles, albeit all Toyotas.
