VentVisors, buying only certain ones?

Post by breezd »

I have/had some VentVisors on my GT. I say had, because I "lost" both from my drivers side.The rear one came off because the door was frozen, and I decided to use it to pull the door open... and off it came... tossed it in the hatch and it has since become 2 pieces The drivers door one... well it was loose... and I was gettin on the freeway yesterday.... and off it came. OOPS! I looked in the mirror and I didn't see any cars crashing... couldn't even see the visor anywhere, so not sure where it went! ANYWAYS.... Does anyone think its possible for me to only buy the 2 for the drivers side? Or does anyone have any that they can part with? Anyone think I could get it done by just contacting a mfgr?

I would try contacting the manufacturer - they will be your best bet for odd replacement parts. They are likely only available retail as a 4-piece set.

Need to visit http://www.weathertech.com and see if it is possible.Also, their product is installed in the track of the window, so no worries about them coming off.

Seen 'em for either the front two or all 4 on autoanything.com, sure they are on the web at other sites as well...the weathertech in-channel version that is. The stick on kind are most likely Auto Vent Shade brand (AVS). Should also be found quite easily on the web or ordered at any decent local auto supply store (Schucks, Napa, Autozone, etc.)

are the ones you are using the stick on kinds? you should try the weathertech ones that goes inside the window channel for a better look and won't come off that easily.

I've always wondered what those are for. Are they so you can leave the windows cracked when parking the car in the summer? reduced wind noise with the windows open? Can someone enlighten me?

yah that's pretty much what i use it for...when parked outside during summer i usually have the sunroof tilt and the sliding shade thing about 1-2 inch openning...since heat rises it goes out the sunroof i'm assuming lol...but having the windows cracked opened slightly helps too and having the window visors on will keep things from falling in or keep it from looking like it's opened or something. also when driving in the rain, you can have the windows slightly opened to have fresh air come in without the rain wetting you...i guess it's good if you don't want to use the a/c to keep the inside from fogging up. i had it on my accord and had no wind noise from it...had it on my maxima and it was noisy...so i guess it depends on the design and shape of the car =/ hope this sort of explains it lol

with what low was saying, nice to keep out rain, leaving the windows cracked in the summer. I also like them in the winter, used to have a truck which the heater would run you out, when sitting in traffic you can crack the window and not worry about the snow falling in.
