Vent shades for '97 up model -- question
Hello all,
I saw that my local Autozone has AVS vent shades that will fit my Jeep. Problem is, it seems that they might be made to attach to the outside of the window, on the body itself. I had AVS shades on my Ranger that fit inside the upper window lip, and they were perfect. I hate the look of ones stuck onto the body. Can anyone confirm these shades are like that or if they go either way, or where I can find some that tuck into the window? Thanks much! |

OK, thanks! Can you post some close-up pics of them? I hate to go with these kind but if there's no other option then I will.

Here is a pic of what the rear looks like. I haven't put the fronts on due to some work I still need to due but this will give you an idea. You can basically hang on them they are on there good

|
Thanks for the pic. Doesn't look bad at all, I was afraid that they stuck to the paint

You would have to gotten yourself into a pretty tight situation to tear them off they really are on there good. And they are pretty close to the Window. I've seen ones that sit closer but I like these because I smoke and there is enough room to hang a cig out the window in the rain at a stop light. Lol. One of my many pet peeves. Can't stand people that just let the smoke go all in the vehicle. I know ppl that smoke with the windows up! Yuck! But anyways... I go at em In the car wash without a care in the world. I'm more scared of tearing my cb antenna off but that's why I got that trusty spring in there now.

AVS makes ones for the Jeep that tape to the painted part of the door not the window moulding. I ordered some thinking they were the ones that tape to the moulding, when I got them and test fitted them I got rid of them. They look horrible! Make sure the ones you saw in the store are the ones that tape to the moulding not to the door.

They look good. They don't look like they're protruding from the side of the jeep like others do.

Ones to avoid -- http://www.quadratec.com/products/71063_800_07.htm Thanks for the heads up. Anyone know of any other brands to check out? |

WeatherTech advertises that all of their ventshades are in-channel. But dang, they are a bit too pricey for me... |
