Which Vent Visors are better?

Lunds? AVS? or Weathertech? The inchannels or the 3m taped? Any suggests would help. Thanks!

I can't comment on those brands, since the vent visors I have are from a different manufacturer (which I have forgotten the name of).
EDIT: They are from the EGR Group.

Definitely go for the in-channel.

There is a thread on here that shows the in-channel Weathertech ones...they look good and cover the whole back window.
Here it is: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/appearance-modifications-discussions-6/black-arrow-gets-shades-7276/

Lund and AVS are the same company, and it's a fairly good ventvisor. I would suggest for ease of installation the 3M taped style.

I prefer the 3M taped kind. That's what I have on Smoke and they have held up very well. They are also a little less expensive, especially if you shop around. JMHO

I got the inchannels from SoCalHHR, and I'm very happy with them. I don't remember the brand name, but the fronts go all the way down to the door, and don't require any tape to hold them in. The rear shades do have tape, and don't cover the whole window, but thats now a problem for me. I agree with Black Rose, the inchannels are the way to go.

Thumbs up socal vent visors - egr group

I have the vent visors from socal, which are manufactured by egr group,
& I LOVE THEM!
Personally, I prefer these over the ones that cover the entire rear window,
but like everything else it all comes down to personal preference...
Here are a couple of links for the egr version:

I have the AVS, They use 3m tape and I have had no problems in the 15 months they have been on. I also like the fact they cover the entire back window!

I think the ones from Socal and the Lund are the best you can get.

In-Channel Lund

I have Lund/Avs in-Channel type. There is a strip of tape on the lip, to secure them to the window channel material, felt type stuff.
I think they have a smoother less noticable look, although I do like the weathertech type that extend over the hump to cover the little (non opening)window.
No problems to date, after approx. (6) months, lets fresh air circulate in summer,(can leave window open a bit, un-noticed) lets bad air out in winter, generally a great addition/mod.
