Default in channel window vent visors

Hey guys! first time on here ... great forum lots of good info so thanks in advance. I just got my first dodge. 08 Ram i have added some stuff to it so far. I am having a bit of a problem with the vent visors. they are the in channel type. Once i am moving i am hearing a little bit of a rattle from them only the ones on the front doors. Any ideas? they had some 3m tape on them i followed all directions. Its very annoying to hear. Ill try to get some pics of it up as soon as i can. One more question if i add on the 2 inch leveling kit what size tire can i put on there with the 17's? Can i get a 35x12.50r17 on there? right now it has the 275/70r17's on it converts to a 32.2 i believe. the 35's i am looking at spec out at 34.5ish . What do you think?

yeah, I buy the stick on outside visors. The In-channel one's suck IMO. They leak air, fall out and did I mention they leak air! Annoying. Pull them out and get the stick on outer ones. Sure they aren't as "flush" looking, but they won't cause any seal problems or window alignment problems.

35 is a big tire! That's def the biggest I would go. It's a lot of tire for a 17. Your gonna need to correct your speedo.

I have the in-channel ones made by Weather Tech. They don't move at all. I like them and they look great.

I had the in-channel ones on my 2004 Ram, had a lot of wind noise. I went back to the place that sold them to me and told them about the problem. Even though they said no one else had complained about them, they replaced them with the stick-on type. Have had no problems since.
