    Sorry, I don't have that on hand as I installed them 9 yrs ago. I'm sure you could easily find that on their website.

    Good find. Everything I’ve been coming up with along with their CS help lead me to a different model number.

    I have the weather tech in channel ones and I like them but beware when I got mine the drivers side front door one was too thick and wouldn't allow the would to roll up into the channel. I had to sand it down in for a good fit. Considering weathertech is quite a bit pricier than other brands I have seen this is disappointing. They are fine now but you get the picture. Also I always get in channel for my trucks. There is something that just troubles me about applying adhesives to the paint especially if you ever plan on selling your truck.

    Nice...they look great!

    Can't get much more low profile than that.

    I wish someone offered similar to the 3rd gen style, but it is what it is. Can’t complain. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow and my AC parts don’t come in till Friday. So than goodness I’m getting these on in time so I’m not dying in the truck

    I think you’ll be happy with your choice coming from a weather tech owner

    I had the Weathertechs on my 2016 Ram but the passenger side broke during install (probably my fault) and the driver side window sometimes hit. On my 2010 Tacoma, the Weather Techs in channel both installed fine and no issues.

    It took some finagling to install, but after sitting overnight the windows work well up and down past them. At first I would have to push on the vent to get the window past it. I might take the advice and file the corner edges to help it out. But today they work well.

    Looking at all these pictures of in-channel visors they all look the same. I wonder if they are all manufactured by some company and each brand just sticks their logo on them.

    I keep losing the rear ones with weathertech in-channel ones. The front ones stay in totally fine but if you cruise freeway speeds with your windows down they will eventually vibrate out and suck out and fly off on the freeway sooner or later. I am on my 3rd set of rears in 8 years. I even remove them and put on new 3M high bond double sided adhesive at first sign of any looseness or rattling.

    Do you clean the snot out of the rear channels with rubbing alcohol? I had this issue but after some deep cleaning they have held forever. There's alot of grime build up in the seal.

    Oh yeah no amount of cleaning will help you there man hahah are you doing 90+ cruising? I won't deny or confirm I do but I tend to pull the rear windows up just a tiny bit so the visors don't fly out. Normal highway speeds I'll crack them halfway with no issues

    The essential worker status on empty highways does not help that department. I have nearly lost my tonneau a couple of times as well and it is pretty well mounted down. I have two caribiner bungees as a final safety measure on that.
