    I have some weathertechs that came with my truck. They are nice when it's raining, because you can get some air flow without getting rain in. When you're parked, you can leave the windows cracked open and it's not obvious. I'm not quite sure if the vent shades are making this happen, but at 40mph with the windows down I just have a nice gentle breeze in the cab.

    OMG! Are you going to be OK?

    Have you tried...the "Internet" to order your ventshades? There is a new site called "Amazon" that usually stocks all kinds of things that can be delivered right to your home in a day or two. Give it a try!

    I had a set of avs or egr.... Whatever ones come stuck on a huge red box. The worked fine.
    These weather techs conform better IMHO and curve more than the strange angle the other ones had.

    Be patient, weather tech doesnt keep a huge supply on hand and it always takes time, but its worth it.

    These doors curve so much at the top, even cracking a window in the rain while driving can be a pita without a vent visor... And if ur in a drive thru and its raining and u crack the window for fresh air, the curve of these doors seems to cause the water to come right in the door..... The weather techs are xtend just a little and help with this some.

    Great for cracking windows open on hot days too.

    I love the EGR ones. In channel are great although I added a little bit of double sided foam tape on the front ones just to further minimize any play in the guard.

    Thanks man, I searched nine states to get the exact options I wanted in this color. The weathertech guards appear to have a slight bow in the middle from the pictures I have seen. They still look nice but these looked uniform throughout in all the pics and when I installed them I have no complaints. I had most of my current accessories purchased and waiting in my garage before I even owned the truck. My wife wasn't happy for the money I spent sitting in boxes just in case the truck deal fell through (9 state search and all).

    I couldn't imagine how mad you are if you are trying to play GTA 5 online. You better write an e-mail to the company that 2 days is unacceptable. You should tell them that when you want them that day, that's when you should get them. Tell them you're going to die if you don't get them now, since you wanted them yesterday.

    Do yours squeak when you go over bumps? I had the same visors on my old explorer and when the windows were all the way up, they'd squeak over every little bump in the road.

    Mine doesn't and I like the fact the egr doesn't bow out a lil in the middle like how the weathertech does.
