    I am looking to buy some window deflectors for my truck. I am looking for the in channel ones and I have come to weather tech, AVS, and wade in channel vents. Anyone have any suggestions? The weather tech are the most expensive ones and I believe the wade ones are the cheapest. Should I just stay with weather tech as I already have their mats? Anyone have these other brands and are displeased?

    I have the AVS in channel for my 2015, as those were the only in channel I could get. They work fine and I'll never go back to the ones that glue on the outside again.
    I did buy an AVS bug deflector that works fine, but is thinner plastic than the others and the emblem flew off the first time I hit the road, which was rather funny. For the savings, they'll be fine.
    I've never even heard of wade?

    That was another brand I was looking at. You mainly only hear about weather tech but 110 seems like a lot when others are cheaper. Are these pretty sturdy?

    Thanks guys for the suggestion. Probably just go with them if you guys saying they are good. Then I don't have to spend another 30 dollars on weather techs that are like the same.

    You think the weather techs are worth the extra money?

    Coincidentally I noticed yesterday that the 2012 Access Cab I bought used recently has two different brands of window deflectors installed.

    On the left side I have the AVS in-channel. On the passenger side I have the EGR in-channel.

    I'm going to replace the EGR with the AVS on the passenger side. The AVS deflector stops where the window meets the top of the mirror; the EGR has a vertical run all along the mirror edge. I don't think this vertical run does much good and it's a bit distracting when I go to look at the mirror.

    My two cents...

    I run the wades and have had no issues. I did put them on when the truck was new new so I had clean rubber to deal with. I also wiped the rubber down good with alcohol wipes.

    I've owned the in channel EGRs for almost a year now, only issue I have is the glue has worn off and while I drive with the windows down you can here them rattle. Gets annoying but I just deal with it.

    I just installed EGR's last night. No issues in the last 24 hours. Install super easy and through Amazon prime only paid 54.00 for the set.
