I want some rain guards, or atleast thats what I call them. Others say deflectors, visors, or whatever. Anyway I want some and I can't decide between in channel and the stick on kind, what do you prefer?

I have the Weathertech in-channel ventvisors and think they are better. That is my opinion anyway.

I got some in-channel myself. The previous owner had some of the external ones and I think the in-channel set looks so much better. I think mine are made by "Wade."

But even the in-channel shades have a sticky surface you're supposed to let cure to the rubber in the channel for a few days before rolling the windows down.

I think the general consensus is that the in-channel ones are better. My only gripe is that with the in-channel they dont get the whole rear window.

I know, it's petty but I just like the look better of the deflector covering the whole window.

Go with the inchannel. They look a lot better then the stick on Vents. They also blend into the door better.

here are some pics of mine

I didn't like the outside one b/c they do cover the whole window in the back. The vent looks too big for the window. Why does the part of windows that doesn't open need to be covered? see my point?

You got it bro!

I got ventvisors in-channel. They run between $50-100 bucks. Depends on where you pick them up. I never tried Ebay though for them. How much are the mopar ones?

Our KJs are almost clones :p
