    So I just installed the AVS low profile vent visors, 3/4 were perfect, but the passenger rear window when I rolled it all the way up sucked in the middle of the vent visor so that it was touching the glass, has anybody else had this happen?

    I tried doing some minor left/right/up/down adjustments on the visor but couldn't really get it to change. Probably not a huge deal, I'm just worried about it vibrating against the window and being really annoying.

    with the window all the way up did you try to pull it into the correct position. sounds like the window going up somehow took the center part with it and thus it pulled in..........just guessing..

    I tried, but I didn't want to completely unstick it so I didn't try very hard. If I keep the window down 1/8" it stays the right shape. If after letting it stay like that for a couple days it still does it I may just take it out and re-do the doublesided tape on it and try again.

    I'm waiting for Weathertech. Much better quality IMO.
