    I've narrowed down to two makes. EGR or Weathertech? Weathertechs are more expensive and only come with a year warranty and EGR's come with a lifetime warranty. Just want the best for my truck.

    I've had my EGRs for about 4 years now. No complaints whatsoever.

    I have Weathertech on my Escape and they are great. I went with the EGR's because of the cost for my Yota and they are every bit as good!!

    I like the low profile of the egrs. Had them for over a month with no complaints.
    I got mine from Amazon for $6 more than what it is selling for now. Cheaper than autoanything. Last time AA said item was on out of stock.

    Egr #574981 is for the four doulecab windows.

    I have the EGR's. No complaints here. Can't speak for the Weathertechs but I've been happy with mine. I think I paid $46 with free shipping from Amazon for my DC. The price changes constantly on there so I don't know what they're going for now.

    Talking about a thread revival! ha. I have the weathertechs and like them a lot. I dont have any experience with any other window vents so i cant speak for the egrs. i think as long as you get the in channels and not the stick on crap, you'll be happy.
