Rain deflectors!

[Outdoorsman89]

Hey guys, going to be putting on some AVS rain deflectors...in channel ones, or the other out of channel ones??

I have the AVS in channel visors on my 08 and had them also on my 05. I love them. Gives a clean look imo.

 

[Outdoorsman89]

Yeah I see that and I like the way yours looks. It's a little more clean and seamless. Both run the same price, so I think I'm going to go with the in channel ones. Thanks!

 

[bigbadram1500]

Your welcome.

Fairly easy install too. Just gotta keep the windows up for a day or so.

 

[Outdoorsman89]

Good to know, I've never done the in channel ones but glad to hear they are pretty easy to install.

 

[bigbadram1500]

yep, and for the prep, I think they give you a scratchy pad thingy to rough up the surface of the channel and an alcohol pad to clean it up. Then it's just 3m tape, then roll the window up to give it pressure to adhere to the channel.

Definitely get the in channel ones

 

[Outdoorsman89]

In channel it is then! Thanks everyone..

in channel if you can get them. I wish I did. Much cleaner.

My out channel.

I didn't know there was a difference. Still can't really see what it is. Anyone have any in-channel pics to compare to Matt's out-channel pic?

The out channels are the ones that have like a 3/4" flat lip on them and stick to the outside of the door above the window. They usually only last a few years then start to fall off. In-channels actually go up in the weatherstrip channel where the window goes when in the closed position, much cleaner look and where thery aren't constantly exposed the the rain/snow they don't fall off.

I ordered the in channel AVS ones from Auto Zone. They will be here Tuesday, I'll put some pics up once I put them on!

 

[Trupiano]

Ok I get it now. Thanks guys!

very nice mod... will have to look into getting a set BUT painting to match...



BTW express/sport models look better with the front bumper plastic removed outta the lower grille

In channel 4 sure... Just be careful at highway speeds with the windows down. I lost one on my '02 that way.
