That is my concern as well, mainly for looking into the mirror... looks like it might overlap part of your view of the mirror, and not having ones to match the rear windows might look goofy (I have a crew cab).
I might have to price the ford ones as well, did not realize they even had these as an option.

What model did you have that had wind noise?
Do any of you with AVS have wind noise? I would not be happy with that unless it was very minimal.
Does anyone have the AVS 'Aerovisor' I think also refered to as Off Road. It looks larger which seems to me would allow the window to be open more, and shade more as well. But as low as they appear to go I wonder if it would interfere with the mirrors. And they only seem to be available for the fronts.
Do the in channel ones wear out your window seals? Like if you were to take em out in 5 or 10 years would the windows not seal well anymore? I dont know if I would prefer one or the other... I hate taping stuff on the outside but I would aslo not want to cram extra stuff up the window seals either.

Good point, if I order them soon I'll still wait for a warm day to put them on.

WEATHERTECH
I have WeatherTech on my truck and I like the fact they are in the window channel and the reason is I can take them off if I want to! Then put them right back on. I have had the outside stick on ones on other vehicles and they always broke. I like WeatherTech stuff thought have lots of their product and it has really stood up.

Q about the in-channel ones, will they mess with your window seals? Make it leak a few years later because they have loosened? Are they prone to fall out?
And the stick on ones - do they stick on the paint or the rubber material between the glass and the metal?

In channel ones dont fall out when the window is down, I didn't even pull the backing off the 2 sided tape & they have been in there for 2 years. No they dont ruin the w/strip.
No wind noise from the in channel ones, I got all 4 PUTCO for $80.00.
