Auto Ventshade [AVS] in-Channel Rain Guards for 2014-2018 Silverado - Sierra 1500; 15-19 Silv-Sierra 2500HD-3500HD, Crew CAB ONLY | Window Vent Visors, 4 pcs. - Smoke | 194536

Overall I’m really impressed with these, especially for the price. Most rain guards are cheap, flimsy, and sometimes don't look very good. These are pretty sturdy and I think they look great. They fit basically perfect on my 2014 Silverado and the smoke is really dark which is what I wanted. Installing them was super fast and easy, the kit comes with everything you need (guards, adhesive, and 4 individual alcohol wipes) which is a really nice touch and I’m very happy overall. I would say there was one this I was a little disappointed with and this is just being a little bit picky but the adhesive tape wasn't put on the guards all that carefully. There were a couple spots where it was hanging off slightly or crooked but I was able to fix it but for the price I didn’t expect perfection. Time will tell how well these actually function and hold up, but my first impressions are great.

These auto rainguard shades are fantastic! They fit my car windows perfectly and help keep rain and wind out while allowing fresh air in. Installation was quick and simple, and they feel sturdy and durable. They also add a sleek look to my car while improving comfort on rainy days. Excellent value and highly recommended!

Great product!!!!! Great customer care too

I only installed the rear shades as the other brand I had purchased flew out of the truck when I had all my windows down during the summer. I kept the front shades in because these do not go down near the side mirror as the existing shades do (see pic). The window doesn't necessarily "crack" at that vertical area near the mirror, however I believe it helps with not allowing water to travel up the window as much when it's raining. The new shades are not as wide as my old ones, but i'm not deducting any additional stars for that. They do seem to jut out a bit more than I would like though, when compared to the existing front shades. One of the front shades had a scuff mark on it, no doubt due to packaging. Installation was a breeze, although I used additional isopropyl alcohol on a shop towel to clean the channel out better. The tiny wipe isn't enough unless your vehicle just sits in a garage. After that, the adhesive backing peels off easy and the shades fit perfect in the channel. It recommends to leave your windows up/closed for at least 72 hrs to help mold the seals to the shade and not screwing with your auto-close functionality on the windows. Overall, I would buy them again since installation was easy and the price is fairly decent, although I wish they were $20.

I have bought these several times for different vehicles and they always seem to fit very well. Some of the install videos are good to watch cause man that sticky tape sure is sticky if you accidentally get it in the wrong spot. Very durable in the winter and ice. great to get fresh air opening the window without getting everything else flying in.

Make sure you prep the surface properly and stick them on properly and they shouldn't come off unless you rip them off. Make sure to tuck the deflector under the side mirror plastic (pictured). Also nice to crack the windows when it's raining n get some fresh Air Flow These are 10x better than the IN CHANNEL versions especially being cheaper. I tried them and one piece fell out of my window and broke on the road. And they would interfere with the windows mobility and even get stuck to where I had to physically move the deflector to get my window to close properly. The quality is good and the darkness is good if that matters to you.

If I could, I would give it ZERO stars for the product. Even after I had the problem with the driver window deflector on my '15 Chevy, I purchased another set for my new GMC. Same problem with the driver door but easy to fix now. However, I just took off my 2nd rear right door deflector cause it warped so much it interferes with the closing of the window. The first one took at least a few months to warp, this one did it in a few weeks. It came slightly warped but got worse over time. They appear to not be able to get the rear window deflectors correct. Yes, they replace, them, but I"m tired of installing them. So, I am ordering a set of EGR deflectors. Attached photo shows how it is warped compared to an even surface. The deflector in the picture is less than three weeks old. First, the driver side deflector would not allow the window to close. The drive's side window has the auto close feature, and will stop and open if it contacts something as a safety feature. Well the feature works great! When the window hits the deflector at the top it opens. So, I took the piece off and filed down the front inside edge a bit with a Dremmel and it works. I had to remove the old tape and install with new 3M tape. After a few days in the heat, the center dropped down. and I had to remove the deflector. Could have been the taped I used; however, now the back windows are doing the same and they were installed with the tape that came on the deflectors. I believe the problem with the adhering to the window seal is due to the company's great idea to cut costs and safe plastic and tape by not have a continuous area of plastic and tape to contact the windows seal. (Saves on plastic and tape costs and spread over thousands of deflectors it can safe quite a bit of money.) The same AVS deflectors on my 2013 Silverado had a continue plastic strip with continuous tape and never had a problem and actually lived in a hotter climate (southern UT). Or they are using cheap tape; not sure. I have ordered some 3M super type tape to install and use. I'll give it a try, but if it does NOT work, I will just junk the items and NEVER order another AVS product again. And I am considering an AVS front bug shield, but will wait and shop around.

With this purchase I learned from my last mistake on a previous vehicle and took my time knowing where it needed to be placed. The tape is very strong so once it sticks it will be there unless you want to remove all the tape and get new stuff. With that said, great product and is not flimsy but a sturdy plastic. Take time to align and when you do it looks amazing and will hold up.
