Installed Weathertech vent visors today

[Firebird]

Did the in-channel window visors, and they are a flawless fit. They integrate well, without looking garish or out of place, and was only a 15 minute install.

Is there any increase in wind noise when driving?

Not really, but if I'm running AC on low, and no radio, I can hear just a bit of wind noise. It's barely enough to notice

I put the weather techs on my truck. Came in handy in yesterdays down pour. Yes they do increase the noise level in the cab.

i just put my front doors on yesterday, it seems like it takes more effort for the windows to roll up. anyone else notice that? does it improve over time?

As long as they are seated properly, they should roll up exactly the same

PSA for something I saw elsewhere. Apparently the in-channel vent visors (apparently brand doesn't matter) can cause shattered windows in extreme cold.

Zero issues with mine so far

No issues, 3.5 years in. I roll my window down every time I pull into the garage so I can check my drivers side front tire to make sure it’s in the box. Painters tape I put down so I know I left enough room for my wife’s car and the kids to open doors.

Doesn't have to be cold.

Seems to be more common with the WeatherTech models that use the metal clip in the window channel. And for some odd reason, the right rear seems to be the most common to break.

Barely gets below freezing here for a few days a year but no issues with mine - same as OP.

I had them on my 2005 for 165,000 miles, on my 2015 for 462,000 miles, and now on my 2021 for 27,000 miles. No broken windows on any of them.
