Side window rain guards

[Red Rambler]

I like to run rain guards however only have the passenger side on now, drivers side cracked so I took it off. I am seeing a lot of in channel rain guards that share the same space as your window, the one I have now is mounted above the window. What is everybody running? Thanks.

The newer style is the one that slips into the channel. Have the in channel on the 2012, and the outside style on the 97. I like both, but the in channel seem like they will last longer.

 Do the in channel type cause any binding? Make the window seem tight at all?

[That Guy]

In the 2012, seem perfectly fine. In theory, there shouldn't be an issue on the 94-02's but, they have notoriously weak windows. 

[Red Rambler]

The ones I was looking at had bad reviews stating they didn’t fit in the window channel well. I will keep searching.

Both my trucks and Moparmans has the in channel Weathertechs. They are expensive but are the best and do not bind up the window operation. Try removing a broken one installed above the window, you know adhesive sticky stuck tape...... it's a bear to remove and does some damage to the paint over time.

Another vote for the Weathertech in channel ones.  I really like mine.  No binding.

Do either of you have a part number for the weather tech guards? I saw 80027 as the part number but want to ensure these are correct and will work with tow mirrors.

My 01 does not have the tow mirrors, but the 02 truck does and there is no interferance. Never was a concern when I bought them.

80027 is the part number I got.  I have tow mirrors and there is no interference.  I got mine from WeatherTech directly and they are only $60 on their site versus $75 on etrailer.com.  WeatherTech also has the ones for the rear windows too but they are glue on and I didn't want to do that again so I only got the ones for the front windows.

They're nice on rain days too when you need air. Just roll windows down a couple inches, no problem.

I had the stick on ones that finally rotted away. No more of those for me. 60 bucks aint a bad deal.

Thank you for the wonderful gift and they are still holding up wonderfully!

I saw you needed those and thank you for changing out my VP44 I was so afraid  or so 'chicken' to do.

Weathertech in channel wind deflectors/rain guards  -- same set for 16+ years.

[Red Rambler]

Gonna get these ordered 

[Sycostang67]

I have a pair of AVS in channel visors I picked up from Oreilly's for less than $50.  No binding, no tow mirror interference, had them almost 5 years with no issues.  I put a set on the wifes Wrangler and a buddies Toyota and they are both doing great as well.  Probably get a set for my mothers new GMC as well.
