Default Window Deflectors

Looking for some opinions on intrack vs 3m window deflectors. Personally I prefer the intrack look more. Also what brands are best?

on my old vehicle I looked into these. Here is what I was told. The inchannel ones are hard on your window motors. If you live in cold climates the windows can freeze to the vent and when you try to open your windows it could break the vent or damage your motor. This is obviously if you have power windows only.

Not sure how much truth there is to that but that is what a dealer told me

I've always gone with the stick on myself. Definitely don't have to worry about them coming off, I've had them on other vehicles for 8+ years.

Ive got the ones that sit inside the window channel and i love em. I can pull em off and push em in very easy yet they dont come off on their own. I dont have to worry about something sticky stuck on my jeep.

I have the in-channel AVS (Auto Vent Shade) Vent Visors and love them. I've had them on my truck and 3 Jeeps with no problems. That's the first thing I put on my new '12.

They deflect the air current around your jeep. The biggest benefit being able to have windows down partly in the rain for air circulation.
