    Any additional feedback on the AVS in channel?

    I've only ever had the stick on. Some say the in channel wears out the window seals and causes problems...any one experience this?

    Thanks

Vinyl letter insets for tailgate. Garmin CS60 GPS mounting. Other misc décor in the form of decals.
    I've had the in-channel deflectors from Weather tech on my 02 for prolly 12 years,no problems, though they could rattle a bit with the window down. (No adhesive like on these AVS guards. ) The kind that tape to the paint, out side channel, IMHO. ...uglier than a tub full of butt holes. I shall be buying the AVS In channels when the time comes.
    BTW, the comment about wishing AVS wasn't on the product, the Weather techs has the name embossed on them too. Such is capitolism.

    I have the AVS in channel and they are very low profile and adhered well.... Give them time to adhere, don't roll your window down for 24-48 hours and you are set.

    Got mine from AutoAnything . Search for part #194768. Looks like they're a couple dollars cheaper now. $59.49 for a double cab.

    I just ordered a set of the AVS for a double cab from AutoAnything (http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/61A1739A0A0.aspx). They are on sale for 15% off. I also noticed they are running another promo for 20% off for 12 days of Christmas. I asked the sales person via live chat if that promo would work on the AVS and he said that one wouldn't since they are already on sale but he gave me an additional percentage off. So, instead of being $59.49 post 15%, he brought them down to %53.54.

    The part number is in the attached picture.

    If your interested, go to AutoAnything, select live chat and ask for Tre.

    Should've tried that when I bought mine. :rolleyes: Think mine were ~$60. AVS had a $10 mail-in rebate going then which reminds me I need to send that in.

    Auto Anything is running a 30% off sale TODAY ONLY on AVS vent visors so $48.99 for a double cab set. AVS30 at checkout. Guess I'll call them in a bit and see if that falls under their 1 yr price guarantee.
