Also doing some window shopping online for a bed cover and possibly some seat covers & vent visors over the door windows. It would be nice to leave the Windows cracked during the summer and to help keep the rain out.

Vent shades are nice. My truck came with the kind that adhere to the window trim.

Shaun sent me some pics if his old '09 that had them on. His were the external mount ones that attach to the trim. They also have internal mount ones that attach to the inside of the window channel. I like the looks of the internal ones because they look cleaner to me.

They will stay on better too.. The external will fall off if not put on correctly

Lund makes the AVS ones and they are about $60 for the front and rear quarter windows. They also have some that are a matte finish which would match the black door handles.

I had internal mounted ones on my car before my old truck. They did stay well, the only issue was hummingbird window gasket out in order to attach the visors on the inside lip.

I saw a thread some time ago about the kind that fit into the window channel. Said when the window was down they sometimes fell out. You're right about the kind fitting into the channel does look cleaner.

One of mine came loose but a little weather seal adhesive and clamped it overnight, held tight for about 8 years now.

I think either one has the possibility of falling out. I have a customizing shop down the road from me and I plan on stopping in to see what they have to offer along with pricing. I like to get my hands on things if possible to make my decision, then get it where the best price can be had.
