Window Vent Visor Question

Im looking to buy some window vent visors as well as a hood visor for my f250. Just wondering what are some of the better quality companies making these? Just wanting to stay away from the cheap stuff thats not going to last.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions ! If you would like to post your pictures of your truck window / hood visors please do ! -Gary

When I bought my truck the bug deflector was there, and it's OEM. I added the window visor's, and I went with OEM. I bought them on Ebay for a really good price. The OEM one's are made well. I would go OEM if I were you. Good luck.

Sir...I had these on my 02 F250 SD...and just bought a set for my 05 F350 SD. They are one of the nicer brands. Look great, and they fit perfect. Nice price too !!

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer. Ford OEM. Good luck.

I did not even know that Ford offered bug guards and vent shades. Cool.

I just got some in channel ones for my truck from Cabela's. I believe the brand iw weathertech. I probably paid a little more to get 'em from Cabela's since they came with a nice little cabela's sticker for each vent visor, but it was the only place around here I'd seen the in channel ones. Everybody else has the ones that stick on with 3M tape. I've had 'em before, and I would recommend avoiding those.

You can buy them here online from the manufacture, I have purchased 5 sets from them over the years as well as the floor liners, however my SD I have now is used and already and Ventshades on it.
