Window visors in channel

[Woodblocker55]

I bought this Yukon XL in had this style window visors . These are brittle and cracked up. So I got set of new chrome ones in channel. I went to take old ones off and there like stuck or glued to that little flap inside the window channel . Has anyone dealt with these before ?

Yes. Those are in channels. They're "glued" or taped in. Best bet is probably a heat gun, some goo gone, and patience.

Is there an advantage of one style over another? Mine are on the outside.

I’ve had both, but personally prefer the WeatherTech or any of the in channel ones, you can remove and install them in a matter of minutes if needed, beats dealing with the tape and all that of the ones that install on the outside

I am well pleased with my AVS in channels

I have the Weathertech 'inside-fit' rain guards. The Yukon window rubber it "a concave" shape. Sliding the rain guard up inside...... there is not a lot of rubber material to "grip" the plastic edge.
Lowering the window causes the rain guard to fall a bit and sometimes vibrate.
After looking at it for a while, I came up with a solution.
Vacuum rubber tubing, inside the empty space holds it pretty good. More grip.

The rear windows have a metal clip to hold the rain guard in place, came with Weathertech.
They didn't come up with a solution for the slipping front window, so I found one.

Discovered that mine are Auto Ventshades too. They came with the truck and stick on the outside. Don't really see the adhesive, could be re-applied in a few places and one has a crack.

Is that black strip part of the window seal or the adhesive that was on the in channel visors? And here picture of ones I want to put on .

Window seal..... The other ones you are showing are much slimmer.... Nice.... if you don't want to open your window much. I haven't heard of them.

Only problem with the slimmer in channel is the rear window on the suv is dramatically curved at the rear and you can really only open the window a literal 1/4 to 1/2 inch because the curvature. I hate it on my in channels.

I'm starting think that black strip came with in channel visors older ones. My new ones adhesive is paper thin. 3m stuff nasty sticky to.

Update yep old ones just had thick black adhesive. [emoji106][emoji849][emoji3]

Same. The weathertech ones curve down in the back, the AVS don't. I grabbed a set from a member in hopes of swapping just the rears. I don't like the weathertech fronts that go all the way down by the mirror. I didn't get to use them because they were off an XL, and the rear windows are longer. Didn't even think about it until I went to install.

Just bit of details these that I got are about 3 times thicker then old weather tech . Very stiff to pop in .
Back ones easyer just slides up in . But there pretty tight in the channel I can't see them falling out at all.
This also will stop them moving in the wind. At first old ones stuck so good it was ripping on the rubber big time right in spots on the ends . Someone might of add some nasty glue of some kind that's what kind of threw me off. Always a learning curve .
