Vent Visors and High pressure car wash
So i just installed some Lund vent visors, all four of which were adhesive. They seem pretty snug, but was curious as to whether they would hold up to a high pressure car wash. The Runner is covered in salt and its too cold to wash it myself. Any input?
Thanks,
Jacob

Vent visor and high pressure wash
I posted this on the 3rd gen board but i thought i'd give it a go here too. So i just installed some Lund vent visors, all four of which were adhesive.

i washed a Dodge Durango vented shade with a pressure wash and its fine. As long you dont be an ID-10T and blast the heck out of it at close range. Try standing further back when you reach that point or skip it and wash by hand if your to worried.

most companies like ventshade all use 3m adhesive which is extremely durable. i wouldn't recommend it but you could blast the hell out of it at close range for a minute with no effect. a basic power wash is no match for 3m durability

Mine have been on for over two years with no issues and I use the pressure wash through the winter regularly;just watch direct spray and they'll be fine.
