Eindow Vents

Mine are the stick on. I have the one for the Sun roof also.
I some thimes think it makes the vehicle look longer but then again I never had the In-Channel vents. I guess it takes getting use too. As long as they work and makes my ride look good , Thats all that counts.

This is my first vehicle without them. I don't like the looks of the stick on. They look too big, and if I am seeing things right, stick to the paint, not the rubber. I'm still considering the in-channels. For right now, my thigh gets wet. From rain water...get your mind out of the gutter!

I have yet to experience a rain fall since installing the window vents.
I had a similar experience. I had been raining but had stopped, so I rolled my windows down and took off. the first stop I made a waterfall comes in on my shoulder and door. It was then I decided I would be getting the vent visors in the near future. Still deciding what style I want, but I am leaning towards in channel.

Have stick on Lunds, love them!

Is there an in channel set yet that covers the entire rear window?
I would have much rather had in channel, but having that back panel of the rear window uncovered was something I just couldn't get past.
I must have looked at photos of all different types for two weeks trying to decide- that little piece of back window remaining uncovered was the dealbreaker for me.

I'm not averse to switiching out, though, should I find in channels that cover completely.

I have the in-channels we sell and love them!

Both performance and asthetics.

Never was much of a "vent guy" - but I'm sold now!

I love them. That was one of the first mods that I did to my HHR. Mine are stick on and have had no problems. Had them on my last vehicle(4yrs) and never had a problem.
