Default Good Brand?

Hey all, looking for some rain guards for the jeep and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good brand? I've heard a few of the brands out there are flimsy and cheap. Don't wanna get stuck with a pair like that.

I ordered mine off eBay. I made sure to clean the area with rubbing alcohol before I put them on. They have been on for almost 1.5 yrs now and no problems

Like anything, if you take care of it, it will last a lifetime; if you don't, it will likely break.

All rain guards are plastic. You can only make plastic so strong, but like I said, take care of it and hope no crazy hail comes around or random branches on the trail snag them and you'll be fine.

Couldn't agree more! AVS looks better being that they are "hidden" inside your window. Helps Not leave residue on your paint.

The ones that insert into the window channel, are the easily removable? Would be awesome if I could remove 'em to hang my doors up when I take them off!!

I run AVS. Mine mount to the painted surface. I've ran AVS on all my trucks and some cars that I had also.
