Anyone with White Maxima that has window visors?

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to know if there are anyone with the 2016 or 2017 White Maxima that has the window visor installed on it.
If you do, can you please post a picture because I want to see how it looks like before I get it!
Thanks!

Many, if not most folks are not enamoured with the looks of rain vent guards on their car. But I am more into practicality than looks. Down here in middle Georgia, the temps reach the nineties most days during the warm half of the year. If I leave the windows rolled up, the black seats are too hot to sit in when I return to the car. But if I leave the windows cracked, and a sudden storm arrives, the inside of the car is soaked when I return. The practical answer is rain guards.

My car is silver (trimmed in black wheel well molding, black rocker trim and black splash guards, , and the vent guards on Derichio02's silver car above look fine to me. I may bite the bullet on this.

They are the AVS in channel wind deflectors from CAR iD. I too live in a rough climate and I also love fresh air. Also depending on the color combo I believe they add a bit of styling as well.
Sounds like they will look good LOTH

I'm in Fl and heat is the reason I've gotten these vents but i've found that they block the heat from escaping and don't work nearly as good if they weren't there. And they messed up the tints on my windows.

I can see how they might mess up tinted windows. But if the rain guards weren't there, then the rain would pour in through the cracked windows. This entrapment of heat by the rain guards is something I have learned to live with.

I also read all the reviews on the manufacturer's site, and it is critical that installation instructions be followed very closely. Some folks posting reviews on the manufacturers site did not follow instructions, and now cannot close their windows. Other reviewers had no problems.

Did you use the in-channel vent visors or the tape on ones?

No not the in channel ones. I had some on a previous vehicle and they were so much trouble I frankly don’t trust them anymore. These were low profile enough and I’m very happy with them.

Love the look of your car! Would you mind telling me where you purchased them at?

Thanks! Got them from Amazon. Also heads up a little acetone will take off the “AVS” logo for a cleaner look and not damage the vent shades.

Mine don't stick well, so water seeps between the visors and the door frame, and into my open window...

Thanks. Yes, stick on. Very strong 3m double sided tape. Easy to install, I used adhesion promoter wipes. Low profile as well.
