Window Visors

[ProtoType5]

Looking for some pictures of the different brands of window visors out there..

Please post pictures and brand

Weathertech
Wade
Ventshade....

I'm leaning towards the Weathertech, cause they are the nicest, and seem to be the lowest profile...I really want ones that look like the JDM MS3 ones that are available...

Thanks

Here are a couple of shots of my ventshade visors. I like the weathertech as well but these were a gift...

[ProtoType5]

Thanks...Did a little searching and found both the JDM and Weathertech pictures....Two of the Weathertech on white and One of JDM on silver.

Did the Ventshades go on with tape, or go into the channel of the window???

[CTt3P5]

Mine are double-sided tape on the outside of the door. I had a set of in-channel Ventshade visors on my Jetta and they also used double-sided tape. I do prefer that look, but again they were a gift.

What is the use of these? Is it primarily smokers that just need to crack the window a bit, yet still protect from rain, to tap ash and throw away there butts? (litterbugs!)

Or do a lot of folks just drive with their windows slightly cracked? Here in tx I keep 'em closed and use the AC....rarely have the windows down

Yah they are to keep the rain and snow out when you have your windows open while driving

[ProtoType5]

Depends on the climate if you'd like these or not...Considering the weather there, these would also block a bit of the sun coming throught the windows, and let you crack the windows while parked without anyone seeing they are cracked...

Or according to the Weathertech website they will do the following..

off topic...Hey you should swing by and see the wife's car with the 205/55/16 studs. It looks like a monster truck now.

[hoindawall]

do you know where i can find those jdm ones?

[ProtoType5]

That's my problem...They are expensive and hard to find...Maybe Canada, or pm Ken at Protegegarage.com...He's got a JDM hookup..

The Weathertech seem to be the closest match to the JDM...

If you find them let everyone know..

Haha..Funny how a couple milimeters makes such a big difference...I just put on 205/50/16 Proxes and they look way better than the 195's...I'll get in touch with ya, maybe sometime in this weekend or something...My boys B-day is Sunday, so that's be out...


**Back on Topic**

Wind Visors...anybody????

Weathertech ones are your best bet. Perfect fit and doesn't use any glue or tape

--jasonHere in TX you can crack them in the winter so it doesn't get so stuffy right? It may be raining (or snowing, lol, no way, wtf?) when that needs to occur, these'll help.

Thanks...I'd love to see the Weathertech ones....I'm only worried about the darkness of the tint on them...I've got 16% tint, and the weathertech only comes in "light" tint...I don't know what that'll end up looking like in the end...
