Ventvisors help with window nastiness?
I'm sick of my driver door window looking like crap after I use the windshield sprayer! The dirt & wash mix up, run to the left of the windshield, and stream all over the door glass. Really cranks me because the glass will look spotless until I use the sprayer. Do Ventvisors help with this?? I was thinking the bulge in them would channel the water along the upper door rail, and let if fly off. Any insight into this

I put a set of the new snap ons on mine and I really like 'em. You can open the window a bit when it's raining and nothing comes in and I don't notice anything running off the windshield onto the side windows.

When I really lay on the wiper fluid hard, I notice some run-off on my windows even with my ventvisors. But not nearly as much as I used to get without them. Short answer: yes, they help. If you go easy on the fluid, your windows stay clean. If you need a lot of fluid, you get a little stream, but not as much as you would without them. Plus you get to drive with your windows open a crack when it's raining, snowing, etc. I like fresh air -- the heat/ A/C vent air just doesn't seem the same to me.

I've gone both ways with the visors. I have them on my truck and haroutd said it right. AC is for really hot weather like 100 plus. If its any cooler than that I'll have the window down.

haroutd said it right - the Ventvisors keep about 80-90% of the wiper wash off the driver window, but some still gets thru, esp. when you lay on it to clean a really grimey (sp?) window. I've had the visors on for a couple months now and love them, esp. on rainy days when you can drive with the windows cracked and when parked on hot days when I leave the windows down about an inch to vent the hot air out while the truck is sitting.

I used a self-adhesive type version of the vent visors on my old '95 F250 and really felt they helped a lot for all the reasons mentioned.
Kirk:
I recall seeing a style that actually "clipped" up into the window track, instead of using the double-sided tape. Is that what you're using? Anyone else seen these?

Yes I have seen them but not gotten around to buying a set yet. They are Weatherflectors , this one is for an 02 CC but you can just redo the search for your rig. I have heard that these work great. I also thing that Drawtite has some too. They use the adhesive tape but they go in the window channel aswell.

I like the looks of these ones, I think they're VentVisors, but I haven't been able to find a website for them.

I have the same ones on mine (at least they look the same). Ventvisors -- they are rather popular. click here to go to the manufacturer's website. You can buy them online through more shops than you can click through, and they are also available at most Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc. locations.
I trimmed mine in chrome door edge trim -- I think it looks sharp and matches the crome bumpers & step rail. I have a picture in my gallery, although it's not a zoom-in like this. When the rain stops, I'll take some pics and update.

I'd like to see the chrome trim, so get those pictures up.

Is it worth it for me to do it for $15?

Those don't look bad, but if you look closely they don't go in the window channel. They are still just taped on the outside where as if you go to the link above they are snapped in. To each his own but I though I would point that out.
