Dealer vent visors or 3rd party?

Hi everyone,I'm closing in on FINALLY buying the Vibe i've been wanting for months this week....just a couple things left to iron out.Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the vent visors.....I'd like to get the ones along all windows, as well as the sunroof one. I'm waiting for a quote from the dealer (just left him a message this morning), but I thought I'd ask what you guys think. Is it better to get it straight from GM and get them to install it, or is cheaper to go 3rd party and install myself? Also, are they typically attached by screws or some kind of double-sided tape?As usual, thanks in advance for the replies....can't wait to finally get it and start modding! This site is FULL of ideas!!

They're usually installed by double sided tape. I've been looking into this as well and seems to be some affordable ones on ebay.

Get them from eBay and install them yourself. Installation is super easy, they will be cheaper and they look great.

I have the AM ventshades, they look nice and have been holding tight for over 2 years with no signs of stopping.

I had the VentVisor brand ones and took them off to put the GM set on. I liked the way they looked more than the VentVisors and they don't stick on the mirrors.

I went with the WeatherTech visors and they are great. Fronts insert into window channel and use no adhesive tape. Rears insert into window channel with small amount of tape (factory applied) to secure and hold in alignment. Took about 15 minutes to install all 4 and they look awesome.http://www.weathertech.com/sto..._id=0

If you havent bought it yet, and its a new Vibe, get them to throw them in as part of your purchase!!- Ryan

anyone know if they make the stainless ones that fit the vibe?

I can't seem to see what the big deal is for the weathertech ones over vent visor off ebay.It seems the only difference is one is adhesive and the other stick in the window channel. The weathertechs seem to be almost 3 times the price.

because some people (like me) will never buy off ebay probably.
