What are the best side window visors for a 2009?

Post by beemerphile1 »

I am thinking about getting the side window visors (deflectors) for my '09.What do you have and how do you like them? I prefer the ones that fit in the window track rather than the tape on kind. I see the tape on kind on eBay. Friends have had the tape kind disappear while going down the road.Brand and model info please. Maybe even your favorite vendor?Secondly how well do they work? The ones on my E150 were a huge improvement in reducing wind noise with the windows down. The Vibe is much better than my E150 to start with. I also like the ability to leave the windows partly open when parked to let some heat out without worrying about rain.Thanks.

I don't have any window deflectors personally, but if you're looking for in-channel ones, I'd recommend WeatherTech. Besides the GM ones, which are attached with double sided tape, I don't know of any other brands that are available for the '09-'10 Vibes/Matrices.

Go with WeatherTech in-channel.I'm on some other forums and that brand gets the best reviews.

No doubt... Weather Tech. The only thing I don't like about them: they sometimes allow a little more wind noise than I would like. Have them installed on Van at work and on my old truck. Great for ventilation, especially when rain is in the forecast, or not. I've never put a set on any of my cars. The stick ons, stick way out and probably create more wind and drag than not.

Bought the weathertech's for my '06 a few months ago... still love 'em. Very stealth, especially on the darker colored cars. Had AVS ventvisors on my old sunfire and they started peeling away from the car in a few places fairly early on. Definitely were not subtle either.I vote for weathertech! I think Lowincash has some on an '09
