Default Side window vents

If I could get some input from the 4 door owners out there I would appreciate it, I'm wanting to install side window vents on my jeep but not sure which kind is best.....in channel or the kind that tapes to the outside. Thanks in advance for your help....

I've had the stick on ones for over three years and they still stick. Actually broke one and it was a pain to pull the rest of it off; the adhesive was stronger than the plastic.

Hi from Sweden

I made two videos, more info on youtube

I did not want a mesh, when it rains it will get wet in the vehicle. Less protection against bad guys

I have the stick on. I wish I had gone with the in channel for a cleaner look but the stick on is what I've had on every other vehicle I've had. Never had one come off. Some were on for 8+ years. The ones on my Jk have been on for 5 and still solid. As long as you prep and wipe down with alcohol they aren't going anywhere.

Default Air Deflectors

I have always used the stick on type with no issues. Its all in the prep. On a black or dark color Jeep, they blend in with the body. I once used the in channel visors and found they interferred with the windows sealing properly.
