    When installing you stick the visors in place, roll the window up and leave it up for 24 hrs, this allows for compression of the gasket and it will form how it needs to be. (The install works better in the heat vs. winter time).

    Just installed my in channel avs and couldn’t be happier. No contact after leaving the windows up for a couple of days. Perfect fit and install only took 10 mins.

    If your window is dirty, you can tell where it contacted it. The AVS visors are softer than the window (plastic vs glass), so the visors will not damage the window.

    All of the above are accurate. Always got AVS In-Channels for my vehicles. You won't regret it. Also take your time installing them and make sure you're putting it where it belongs.

    Mandatory tint, in-channel visors, and 265/75R16 MT Toyos.
    I've had mine almost a month and like others said there was contact when first applied but after set they don't even touch, at least that I can hear, when moving the window.

    I'm very finicky with my windows being clean as this is my first ever new vehicle and I'm in the mindset of if I don't let it get dirty it won't get to the point where I stop caring.

    After a dust storm I noticed my windows sounding gritty when rolling them down- yikes! No signs of scratches, but I immediately cleaned out the channels with a hose (yes, windows were still up :p) and then I rolled them down and used a shop vac.

    Make sure to clean the window channels very well BEFORE install.
