Ok I have been thru a couple of days of rain and 1 snow storm since installing the window vents.
The vents were purchased from Iowa 80 web site they arrived in 4 or 5 days the cost was 99.99 for the visors and 27.07 shipping. The shipping charge seemed a little high to me but they do come in a giant box so maybe that's why.
The product is the FL CASCADIA 2018 + ventvisor vl-813/099983235646
The visors are made by Belmore .
Installation :
They were pretty easy to install scrub the rubber around the window , apply the applicator and remove the tape. I would recommend a ladder, I was hanging off the steps making it difficult to align the vent. On a scale of 1 to 10 on installation with a ladder I would give it a 2 pretty easy and straightforward .
Results
They do help with the water/dirt issues how ever they stop about 2 inches from the bottom of the window. So now what happens is the rain / snow comes in in the bottom corner and the kind of blows to diagonally across the window to the top corner on the opposite side.
Definitely less water on the window so less dirt after the rain but not perfect. It seems to me the front of the visor should go all the way to the bottom. Hopefully the picture I took shows the gap . If your looking to decrease the wind that comes in to the truck with the window open these work great. For keeping the windows dry. Not so much. I also will take a picture from the outside so you can see how they look. I hope this helps. -
That sucks, that bottom corner is the problem unfortunately
