    Yes, they do keep your windows from sticking during ice and cold weather conditions. I have Weathertech In-channel units. And they look baaad-aaasss, too.

    Is there a rain guard that stops the water pouring into my truck when I open the door from the outside when getting in? I was parked while the truck was slightly tilted sideways and about a cup of water entered onto my seat and door during a rainstorm.

    AVS 100%, got an open box on Amazon warehouse for ~$20, scratched up a bit, but it's a truck.

    The scratching isn't from the rain guards themselves though as they're on the other side of the window (outside). Though if crap gets on the window or your upper track is dirty, it may cause some scratching on the tint as the rain guard pushes the window against the inner seal a little more than it would without them. My windows are the same way, the top 1/8" or so has a little rub on them from the window seal itself.

    The thicker the rain guard (the part in-channel) the worst it would probably be. I love my AVS low profiles.

    No problem with my AVS in channel and ceramic tint. I did have an issue with one of them not sticking in the front passenger side and I called them up, they sent me a full set to replace the one with bad adhesive.
    AVS stuff i had on previous vehicles they stood behind too.

    I just ordered a set, but they only have three tabs with the adhesive. Other AVS install videos show the entire length of the visor having adhesive (in-channel). Did yours have the full or three tabs? Thanks!

    Yes these are the ones I ordered and they have adhesive all the way down. Now it is in 3 sections on the front windows. One up near the mirror the main long strip and on for the rear vertical section. There should only be a small gap between sections of the adhesive tape.

    Thank you. Hopefully these will hold up with less adhesive.

    I hope so. I see you have the Access cab. Do those came in sets of 4 or just front windows?

    Edit.
    I see this is what you might have.

    Weird that they are not like the double cab front windows.

    Yep, same as what I have ordered. It’s odd to me also that they either changed the design or just make the access cab option different. I’ll report back if they fail.

    Be careful when you peal back the plastic holding it to the cardboard. That's how i damaged the adhesive on the one. The plastic tends to stick to the red adhesive backing tape.

    Thanks for the heads up on the wrapper. It sure wanted to stick. Here’s what I actually got in the mail today. Not sure why they are showing a three tab version.

    Looks exactly like the ones that come in the package for the front doors of the double cab. That is odd how it's pictured online.

    When you first put the window up it makes a click noise on the front visor lip as the window passes it. I assume that click noise goes away after they sit for 72 hours and they sit deeper in rubber channel?

    For the record...I have AVS in-channel rain guards.
