the weather techs are nice but my car came with the ventshades. behind them are all kinds of imperfections and the rest of the trim is sunfaded so if I got the in channel ones I would have some funny looking trim. There is one spot covered in super glue. The previous owner thought it would hold the visor down! I have looked at my visors so long that I like them more than the others. If my car was not black or if I had chrme trim they look dumb.
Maxmojo has a neat set too. (Cefiro Rain Guards)
So there are 3 kinds
Auto Ventshade, stick on with 3M tape

All other brands stick onto the outside trim of the window. For example, if you have a GXE/GLE, the other brands will stick onto the chrome trim of the door and cover parts of it as where the weahtertechs fit into the glass channel and not obstruct anything.

o man I need a pair of those, You know how much Vinyl cleaner I have invested in cause When I crack the window open, the stupid rain dirtys up with frekin door!!! But I think it will look a little ugly. and like its not good for the tracks either, am I wrong on that?

lol, i agree!!! i always had that problem except IMO it looks REAL ugly, not a little ugly....so the weathertech ones look a little better....over 90 bucks for the set though....

i have them on mine and it covers the chrome trim a little. as far as looks, they could be better, i'd prefer the weathertech ones, but i'm not gonna dish out more money for them when the ones i have are perfectly functional. the other downside is the wind noise. i don't remember how it was before i had them on, but now it's not great. not too horrible, but noticable. however keeping the rain out if i need to open the window is worth it.
#22
well i picked up the ventshades already so i guess im gonna have to live with them....i do think the weathertechs looks better but they are quite a bit more expensive...i got the ventshades for only aobut $40

You get what you pay for, so it's up to the individual buyer. You can save money, get the ventshades and compromise on looks and longevity or pay about double and get the weathertechs that look a lot better and are much more reliable. It breaks down to about $25 bucks a door with weathertechs, I think they're worth it.
And not that it happens often but the weathertechs can't be stolen with the windows up as where the ventshades can be pulled off relatively easily and all you need to re-use them is 3M moulding tape available anywhere. Lincoln Town Car cabbies get them stolen a lot unless they have weathertechs.

they're both good for smokers too, not that i smoke or allow it in my car.
i always seem to be happy i have them because it seems i always end up needing to open my window to either talk to someone or for some reason.
i've never had a problem with my 3m tape aside from the fact that i put one of them on slightly crooked and off target but i recently fixed it and have had no trouble.

Ventshades need the surface to be properly cleaned and prepped and then you have to stick them on right the first time. If you mess up you may need new 3M tape or deal with the way you stuck it on.

Here's are two pictures of weathertechs on my Maxima. You can see the flushness to the body and how they look inside of the window channel.

And in this picture are a set of ventshades on another car for comparison. You can see they bulge out much more and have to be glued onto the body of the car, in this case onto the paint.

I do have a picture of the car from directly in front but the weathertechs don't show up in the picture because they are too flush. Below is the picture anyway, you can just see the slightest trace of the passenger door one. To get them to show up in a front view picture, the picture would have to be at a slight angle.

There was a crazy group deal set up for about 25 ppl about 2 summers ago...and when it came time to pay, the vendor wanted everyone to fax our drivers licenses, credit card info to his place.
Thats when i said get the **** out of here and bought them on my own. Good luck w/the GD
