Best window vent shade/wind deflector brand?

Long story short, bought a knock off brand from Amazon for $40 and the front visors don't fit right at all. There's a big gap and a space between the adhesive strip and door frame at the end where the mirror mount is. I'm guessing I need the AVS brand since it doesnt appear Toyota sells this any more. Can someone recommend a set they bought that fits properly and hasn't flown off after the first rain? OUTSIDE mount, not in-channel. Thanks.

I have weather techs and they're alright. They'll shift your windows which may offset tinted windows. They also put their dumb stickers on them. I like weather seal mount but maybe think about exterior depending on the look you want.

I like the wellvisor visors. Reasonably priced too.

I've had the Westin branded stick on deflectors since January and they've worked well. Install was easy, they're a pretty accurate fit, and they haven't caused any new or annoying noises/whistling to speak of.

I can't speak to long term with them since it's only been 11 months but so far so good.
 
I've installed the AVS ones on multiple cars except for the 4runner as it came with the vent shades. Aside from sharp edges they've been good and fit well. Odd how they cost more for the 4runner than the other cars I put them on.
 
I have not done any comparisons but I picked up Weathertech ones in Few 2020 before I did a 2 month / 10,000 miles road trip. They were 100% functional while driving and car camping. I opened them at night for air flow while sleeping. I had no issues with them while the windows were slightly opened during snow and rain. If I had one complaint, the driver's rear passenger deflector adhesive loosened a bit so it rattles when slightly open while driving.
 
Ended up buying the AVS brand (Auto Ventshade) through Autozone because they had a $10 off code, and the difference is pretty clear on the fit and quality.
