Auto Ventshade. $55 bucks for the 4 piece Cherokee set from Quadratech, and if you watch local stores sometimes you can get them cheaper.

edited: AVS are on Amazon for $53 with free shipping right now.

I prefer those in-channel ones Bbasso posted. I've never been a fan of the ones that stick onto the windows. They look tacky.

I don't have full roll down windows on the front. So I doubt the in- channel ones will work for me.

Me personally, Id rather have the AVS "stick on" ones rather than the ones that jam in the channels. There isnt really supposed to be anything jammed in there, plus thats all thats holding them on. Whats stopping someone from pulling them out?

I think they have an adhesive so they stick up in there. I'm not completely sure because I've never owned any.

they do.
and in 20 years of cars, trucks, vans and jeeps Not once have they fallen out or been messed with. In channels can't be stolen with the window closed- they would break if pulled.
In channels look better and I think work better.
As for them being jammed in there, sure they are, by a very thin piece that slips into the channel with adhesive to secure them. Funny thing, mine are not held in with the adhesive atm, I'm waiting to get the windows tinted and wanted to make it easier for the guy by being able to take them out.
