Easy Installation, Seriously Good Looking
Though the final result was great, just one word of caution: be extra careful unpacking. If one goes about it methodically and slowly, looking for the best places to open and begin to remove the shrink packaging, it should be fine. Going after it like killing snakes will remove the tape covering the adhesive and could also potentially damage the product. The alcohol wipes provided are almost enough for a window. Best use a rag and your own alcohol to insure cleanliness. Maybe one half star off for the non-intuitive packaging and insufficient wipes.I had changed mine because of an accident where one of my exterior shields needed to be removed to repair the drivers door panel. These old exterior shades had been on my truck for over a decade. I decided to replace all of them with in-channel. Taking the old ones off with fishing line was easy. Getting the adhesive off the vehicle was a major bear. One advantage for in-channel over exterior adhesion: much easier to change if you decide to.The actual installation was easy, I made sure that I held them in place while I ran up the windows to avoid any future interference, and left the windows up for the recommended 72 hours.The fit was perfect, and they admirably serve their purpose both functionally and cosmetically.

Easy, great looking, and inexpensive mod for the Tacoma
For the product iitself I give 5 stars. Not sure why some folks gave poor reviews. Installed very easily, maybe 45 minutes total, on a 2015 Tacoma Double Cab.Shipping- Granted you may have some tiny scratches because it comes shriink wrapped in a package and that's in a box with no bubble wrapped. Also had read the reviews so knew it might arrive in Hawaii with some scratches (minor, certainly no reason to return).Installation- Clean your window tracks THOROUGHLY and you'll have no problems. Used a plastic prying tool I bought for removing interior parts, along with a microfiber towel and plenty of rubbing alcohol to cleanthe tracks 3-4 times to remove all that "black smudge" residue.- Push the visors all the way up and in, follow the instructions and start at corners and pull the tape backing as you move inward and you'll have no problem.- Note the rear visors are NOT exactly the same (test mount in the windows before you pull the tape), even looking at them it's hard to tell but you'll notice the slight difference when you put them in the track.- Used the same plastic prying tool and ran it along the back of the visors several times to make sure the tape adhered properly.- At first you'll think some of the windows are rubbing the visors and the windows (in my case left front) won't close. Do not panic! If you mounted them properly this with will go away once the windows been up and down a few times, I just "nudged" the visors over to get the windows to close, and after sitting for a day windows go up and down just fine.Use/AppearanceDue to the good prep work all 4 visors stuck just fine (windows have been up and down many times, and highway tested). Although the visors are not that wide they really do help in keeping rain from blowing in.Dark smoke looks great on a black truck and the fit/finish is very nice, no gaps whatsoever.Bottom line, looks great, reasonable price, easy install (if you take your time and follow the instructions)

Excellent quality window shield.
This particular window visors install very east and look very sharp! They look like a quality window visor. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality window guard.

Fits & looks fantastic on my '05 Tacoma. Works as intended.
These AVS in-channel window vents fit great on my '05 Tacoma Double/Crew cab! Installation was a breeze, & the dark color goes with the truck. I do recommend using baby wipes to clean the inside of channels, then use supplied alcohol pads, allow to dry, & then finally install. Also, ensure you peel adhesive covers only quarter to halfway when installing, then when you're comfortable where it's at pull the rest of sticker strip off & immediately close window for at least 24 hrs. Works as intended: allows air in during high heat & wet weather conditions. I recommend this in-channel AVS window vents.

Inner window install
Straightforward install. Should leave windows up to help it stick overnight after installation. Holds up well keeps rain out and allows air flow in the car when parked with some protection. Happy with purchase.

Shut all windows immediately after install....
Its perfect! But definitely shut all windows immediately after install per instructions for at least 72hrs to insure everything cures in place and windows ability to roll up or down remain unaffected.I was concerned about my front passenger seat install at first because it would not roll up at first, but after holding the visor out of the way while pressing the window roll up button it did and after 72hrs it updated normally 😗💨😅Apparently this is recommended but I did not see that in the instructions, had to look it up on YouTube 🙃Looks great on my old 06 Toyota Tacoma and I can actually drive with one window down for my large dog as needed, without having deal with the wind beating my ears as a result and having to choose between that and possibly bothering my little one or other passengers with additional open windows to mitigate the wind beating noise.Also love that I can keep the windows cracked for fresh air on rainy days without letting all the rain in and that I didn't have to adhere it to the exterior paint 🤗
