Is there a 'best' in-channel vent shade for the 5th Gen?

Well, I got the Weather Techs and installed them today. I really like the front ones, but not so sure about the backs. The back ones just look a little bit too big IMO. I don't need them in the back windows, so I might remove them. What do you guys think? Are most of you running just the front shades, or all 4??

Thanks, Dave F.

I run the WT in all 4 windows. Love them especially when I have my 2 Border Collies in the truck with me. Make sure you have the clips and vents installed correctly in the rear ones! If not you will lose it! I know from experience. Whe have the same truck except I have a hood deflector on!

2 border collies, that's a lot of doggie energy in the back seat, lol!!!!

Thanks for the info on the clips. I did not put them in, but I saved them. I am hoping the tape will hold them up, but perhaps it won't. I rarely use the back windows. If they fall out, I may just leave them out, haha. Heck, I may take them out anyway.... still not sure I like the way they look.

But I will say this, the WT's are 100 times better looking than the crappy, chrome, stick-on AVS shades that were on there (pic below). I had a hood deflector too, as you can see in that pic, but it was also cheap-looking chrome plastic, so I took that off too.

I pit on EGR in channel. No problems and the black plastic is matte finish which matches the door pillar plastic.
