In channel or tape on window vent shades?

WHAT ARE BEST WINDOW VENT SHIELDS FOR 2018 CREWMAX SR5 ..IN CHANNEL OR TAPE ON?

 

Hi and welcome from SoCal!!!

 

I prefer in channel...

 

Go with the best and oldest vent shade maker. AVS. In channel or tape on both good.

 

AVS in channel installed this weekend... not too difficult just take your time... not a crew max but you get the idea

 

YES I AM GOING WITH AVS..BUT WAS WANDERING WOULD THE IN CHANNEL INTERFERE WITH THE WINDOW CLOSING BECAUSE I THINK THE 2018 CREWMAX IS EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY FEATURE THAT PREVENTS WINDOW CLOSING IF IT DETECTS AN OBSTRUCTION LIKE A HAND IN THE WINDOW ..THE IN CHANNEL WOULD BE INSIDE THE CHANNEL WHERE THE WINDOW WOULD CLOSE TIGHT...

 

I have a 2017... good question to ask AVS or your Toyota dealer

 

My current set is tape on AVS. Been on now for almost 4 years with no issues.

 

I've had that issue with the passenger front window in my 2014 Platinum with in-channel AVS vent shades. I'd go tape on, if I had it to do over.....

 

I've got in channel on my 17, zero issues so far. The wife's Tahoe has them as well, going on 5 yrs, zero issues.

 

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’m actually a fan of tape-on. I’ve had in-channels on two vehicles, and because the in-channel tape can lose its adhesion to the rubber material of the weather channel even after proper prep treatment, over time the in-channel ventshades start experiencing annoying wind noise / rattle. I totally like the look of the in-channel better, but the wind noise on my two vehicles about drove me mad. I never had issues with the tape-on which adheres to the door’s metal surface.
