In track vent deflectors

Is anybody using the in channel style on the 2013.. Hate the stick on types, but have had problems closing the windows fully with the in channels with my last two trucks.. What brand and have they improved the in channels. I would do without them if stick on was the only one available. Most of the problem was due to child safety windows. Thanks. Have already upgraded to Linex, Extang cover and Husky floor mats. Also what company mud flaps are the best?

I have had the 3m stick on AVS ventshades on my 2010 for 4 years with no issues. I went with the stick on one after having a bad experience with the in channel ones on my previous car.

There are a lot of people on here using the weathertech no drill mud flaps and i have yet to hear a bad review from anyone. With that said i went with the Husky liner mud flaps. They do require drilling a 1/8" hole on all positions. I know a lot of people don't like drilling into a new vehicle, but with the proper metal protection applied to the bare metal there should be no issues.

i bought the husky liner mud flaps after seeing them hold up to my dad kicking ice buildup off of them and them not budging. He had his for 2 Pennsylvania winters when i saw them, and they still looked brand new with no issues reported by him.

Although the weathertech in channel look alittle better in my 13 F150, they just did not seat well. Many hear will say they had no issues but climate has a lot to do with these vent visors. Of course the backs were fine but the auto up feature for the fronts never did close on the first time..I had them in for a year and they were never reliable. Plus there gonna burn up your motor quicker and cause your window not to seal properly,. I chose Ford OEM window visors for my 14 SD because, one the weathertechs didn't work again and I am not going to worry about the auto up constantly dropping window..This way I can let me windows go up w/o resistance or early motor damage.
