front window wind deflectors

I'm looking at putting wind deflectors on my front windows.
I've seen in channel and the tape on kind.
Which would be the best ?
Thanks

The adhesive ones work for me as well. I prepped the area with isopropyl alcohol before I stuck them on there, and it's a good idea to mark a straight line from the front door to the back door (as a guide) before install. You can use a dry erase marker or the like - window cleaner removes dry erase, and alcohol removes permanent marker. Test your marker on the inside door paint to feel more comfortable about writing on your truck.

Picture's? Are these the ones that go on the top part of the window? Always wanted to put them on my CC.

I don't trust tape. I have had channel ones for years.

I put the taped Auto Vent Shades on my '01 Crew Cab back in '02 when I purchased it. Nary a problem. They attached to the rubber around the glass and not the paint. This made them easy to align. They came with a cleaning wipe and also an activator one. They have held tight to this day.

I am a Weathertech in channel fan myself. Have had good success with them on several vehicles. I believe they are Made in USA also.

I have had tape on , on my 2003 since it was new. They are still tight all the way around. I think channel deflectors look so much better. That's just the designer in me.

Mine are in-channel. Really enjoy them.
I buy a lot from Oreillys, but do not remember where I got them.
