We offer the AVS aeroskin bug shield that sits flush with the vehicle while still protecting the hood. I have included the link below if you wish to check it out.

I've got the Weathertech window visors on my R/T. Love 'em and have them on all my vehicles. I like them because they sit inside the window sill rather than taped on the outside

Did you have any problems with the in channel ones? I called a place I normally deal with and they told me I may not be able to do in channel because of the safety feature of the windows although I didn't have a problem on my 1500 want to make sure before I order and can't use the

The in channel visors fit great but I thought they made too much noise on a previous vehicle that I had, maybe not on a calm day but when you get a slight crosswind, of course the minus and pluses you'll need to live with but I decided not to get them on my DD. the other thing to consider is that in the city it makes the a pillar a little larger, even if you get the lighter smoke, you can get a clear one but that defeats the purpose. Just a few things to consider, otherwise they are great if that is what you are looking for....oh one last thing is washing the DD you just need to get your towel into the small space to clean it.

Pluses are great, leaving your windows cracked in the sun to vent out the car or in the rain and sunshade.

Thanks!
Took the plunge and ordered meself a set of weathertechs. Will ship next week (bummer)... Will post pics when I get them installed.

Whilst I search for bug deflectors, stumbled upon this mopar chrome deflector. Looks awesome... but price is on the higher side. The picture is from eBay... priced at 99.86+16 (shipping).



Oh well.

I think the in channel visors look better but I have always avoided buying them. My D R/T is beautiful and even with the outside visors on the dark blue, I don't think they hurt the looks. I've put these on everything I've owned over the years without any regrets. The possible problems with the in channels real or not, have always kept me from buying them. I only drive the D about once a week so I probably won't install my new visors for a while.

Absolutely no problems with mine, and never have had any problems with my other vehicles either. I've got them for my dads 2010 Charger and my mom's 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Never any problems.

Just remember to install them in a warm environment. The instructions tell you this but the first time I did it I ended up breaking the tab at the end. Weather tech was nice enough to send me out a free replacement but had to wait an extra week for it. Awesome company if I remember correctly.
