In-Channel Rain guards

Does anyone happen to have these, if so what has your experience with them been?

This website seems to have a good price on them for all 4.

I have them on my 2003 Expy and they're fine. make sure you follow the instructions and keep your windows up for 24 hours so the tape adheres well.

These look like they bulge out quite a bit. Or is just a perception from the picture?

I think it's the picture. Mine don't bulge out.

?? My impression of the "In-Channel" type was that it did not requre any adhesive? If it isn't these I think there is some like that.

I've had in channels on the last 6 vehicles I've owned and they all have double sided tape to adhere the deflector to the window trim.

I tried the in-channel ones on my '99 and I had to send them back. They got in the way of the front driver window's normal path and the window even chipped it once going up. I followed all the directions and even let them set for 24 hours, but they were a big problem for me. I went with the Ventshades that go on the outside and love them. Don't have to worry about them getting in the way and I don't mind the "outside" look. All I can say is try them and see. The place I got mine from took care of me and allowed me to exchange them with no problem. Some people like them and some don't. I just know what was best for me. Give it a shot, but I would "recommend" not. Just my opinion. Good luck, and let us know what you choose and how it works out.
