Default Side window air deflectors

or rain gaurds, thats what I call them. Just picked mine up from the dealer and SOB, they are the kind that are attached with tape. Was hoping they attached in the top of the window panel somehow. I suck at lining stuff up, but I'll give it a shot. My bakflip G2 will be in this week too, almost time to take some pictures. Anyone heard of these blowing off?

I have the stick on type on my '97. They are still stuck after 12yrs, you just have to make sure you prep the surface good. I had the in-channel type on my '07 and hated them. They looked cool but, rattle with the window down and scratched the glass. Post up some pics, I'd like to get a set for my rig.

I have a set of the Mopar ones but I haven't installed them yet. I've had them on several vehicles without any problems. Even the car washes don't pull them off. Just make sure you use the alcohol pads to remove any wax for them to seal.

Exactly. I've been wondering the same thing.

Default vent-visor

My 05 Ram, I bought the Dodge visors. They were made by the same company that makes Vent-Visor. Never had a problem..My 09, I bought the Vent-Visors that stick to the outside. I like the way they look. They also make the ones that go inside the window track. I'll try and post a picture later..Joe

I' ve had them on both Dak's. They fuction well for rain driving, but not sure if I'll put them on again. I found they created more noise than when they were worth. I do like the look though.

I put the in-channel on mine. I just don't like the look of the stuck on ones. Mine don't rattle at all. Neither did any of the other ones I've used, all in-channel. They are a little bit lower profile than the stick on ones as well.

I don't smoke but I like the look. Great for keeping the window cracked in warm weather to let the cab breathe. Still looks like the window is up to anyone on the outside.
