So I got the Weathertech in channel vent visors several months ago. I like the low profile but do not like the "clicking" when putting the window up nor the lack of a tight fit. It really does not matter now though as one blew out (left rear) somewhere over Missouri last week. Had all the windows down, 11:00 pm cruising down the interstate and when I stopped at the rest area it was gone.

Now on to replacements. I have used the Vent visor originals in the past with no issues. Vent visor now makes a stick on low profile though.

My question is this:
Anyone used the Vent Visor low profile yet? They are not in channel but low profile stick on type.

Can't help with the VentVisor brand but...

ERG has in-channel and they click as well on my trucxk. I believe Wade also has in-channel but I don't know if the click, hum or whistle Dixie.
 
I have "Wade" in channel vent visors. No clicking sounds.
When I first installed them, they were setting of the sensor when rolling windows up, and they would roll back down. But now, no issues. I have them for almost 3 years. Good quality visors
 
They were my first add-on a year and a half ago, work great. Not fond of in channel versions due to tight window/gasket clearance...........hate clicking noise when rolling up windows.

One trick for in channel, back trim bottom edge of visor (bout 45 degrees) to help "guide" window past bottom edge to reduce clicking noise.
 
I too have the Weathertech in-channel low profile visors on my Highlander for the past year. Haven't had major issues I couldn't stand but am also interested to see what people recommend here.
 
Dibs on the 3 remaining ones after you replace them, lol :jk:

Just brainstorming here but if you do decide to go with another in channel visor would laying down a strip of electrical tape on the edge that sticks into the rubber channel help fill in the slack (and hopefully prevent it from falling out)? I'm thinking the rubbery friction of the electrical tape might help hold it in better than the smooth acrylic.

IMO go with another set of in channel ones if you can help it, they just feel much more OEM-ish looking as compared to the stick on ones :)
 
Forgive my ignorance, but what are those things for?

Google search turns up keeping rain out, but I would think AC or heat with the windows up would be better when raining.

Cracking the window when windows and windshield fog up during rain. This technique will instantly defog the windows and the visors will keep the rain out. Great for just letting in a little fresh air during rain or snow too.
 
They give it a nice look and you can keep the windows open a bit with some privacy because they are tinted
 
I park outside in the Florida sun all day while I am at work. I will just crack my windows a touch and let it vent with these.... keeps the rain and unwanted fingers out
 
i have a pair of avs stick on's on the wardens 12 tacoma double cab. they are not low profile in any sense. they stick out about 3-4 inches from the window and you can barely crack the window without getting in rain/snow/wind compared to my oem 2010 legacy stick on's which are low profile and only stick out about and 1 inch.
