Can window crack in heat... but also a cheap very dark tint right at the angle where the sun likes to get in your eyes

I'm not sure about cracking in the heat; never seen that before. But, I have ceramic tint on all of the glass including the front windshield to reduce the heat; it works well.

Negative on the wind noise. Wish I had got the matte black instead. The smoke finish looks fine from the outside but I don't like the tint looking through from the inside.

My XL already has matte black trim so I'm hoping the matte black visors somewhat match...thanks!

By the time I realized it was pouring, my truck was on the other side of the parking lot, and it was wet inside. Solution: visors. The low profile ones aren't as ugly as the others.

that does make sense. I'm a TX boy as well, and even with ceramic tint everywhere it is still nice to crack the windows. I usually park in the shade in my driveway or find shade elsewhere. I also tend to use the remote start when it's really hot outside

. I definitely do see that benefit though now that you point it out.

I've been on the fence as far as which to order. After reading this post I picked up a set of AVS low profiles from Amazon Warehouse. $31! What a deal if they are in good shape. Definitely worth the risk.

You've never seen someone roll the window down an inch or so to reduce heat? Or do you think we mean an actual crack in the glass?

Here in the south, window visors are a must. 80 to 95 degrees with random afternoon thunderstorms almost daily....yup, visors make a HUGE difference

I've always had the AVS stick-ons and really like them.

If anyone is looking for the AVS low profile I would recommend checking Amazon Warehouse. I got them delivered for $31 and they were in as new condition.
