Which do you prefer, in-channel or outside?

Brand preference?

 

I like the outside ones. they give you more room from the window when its cracked.

 

in channel for sure its a way cleaner look i had both when i saw the difference i couldn't believe i wasted my money on the outside ones

 

I'd go with the in channel for the better look and the fact that you're not using any kind of adhesive on the paint. If you don't like them you can just take them off and no harm no foul.

 

I suppose this is something I will soon be considering ---- salt season is almost gone, and the garage queen will soon be out of it's shell...... LOL

 

On the F150, I tried the outside stick ons and AVS in-channel. The stick on looks cheap and didn't stick so well in cold weather for a couple sides. I fixed with double sided tape. The AVS caused window to pinch and was real slow to close all the way so it caused stress on window motor. Finally bought the more expensive WeatherTech in-channel ones. I will never waste time or money again on any one but the Weathertech in-channel. They are well worth it.

 

I have putco chrome in channel ones and they are holding up very well through the salty roads this winter
