    Some stuff...
    I am, I have the EGR in-channel (check my gallery for pix) but have heard that the in-channel can cause the window motor to burn out prematurely. Maybe someone can chime in with more info on that, as I only have 7 months, or 5K miles on mine...

    AVS in Channel for me. They allow you to crack the widow without getting wet.

    I have Stampede in MAX 4 CAMO and YES I LIKE the window vent visors and I use them on all of my vehicles. Here in New Mexico you have to be able to keep your windows down a little during the day due to the high summer heat and they help a lot.

    ive always pondered the idea of getting window visors... every time i drive its either the window all the way down, or cracked. What benefits do they bring besides not letting water in?

    Agreed.

    When I smoked, I always had visors on so I could smoke when it was raining.

    Now? Generally all the way up with the AC or heat on.
    Smoking my pipe, I'll roll it down, but it's not an every day thing so I don't smoke when it's raining, or when it's so hot that I need the AC to avoid heatstroke.

    Definately happy with my AVS in channel. I leave my windows cracked 95% of the time it's parked (accounting 5% for expected wind/dust storms while I was in AZ and below freezing nights here in OR since I use my remote start to let the heater run up). Best addition I made to the truck after tinting all the glass and installing air horns.

    Can't stand :rasta:
    I'll take an alcohol buzz any time, but don't like the feeling from [​IMG]
    Last time I had any was 5 years ago when someone brought some brownies to a party and didn't say anything. Last time before that was probably in the 90s.

    I've had in channel visors and didn't like the way they pinched the windows at the top. Have regular ones now, and like them just fine.
    Shit Rich, those were your pants I found way back then? Whew, they stunk bad, had to throw them right away. How'd you get way over here?

    It's nice to leave the windows cracked during work and not worry about sudden rain storms. Additional reduced sun glare while driving along with reduced wind noise with cracked windows are also nice. Have mine for a few yrs with no issues with windows function or tint.
