Window deflectors

Which one works the best - tape on or in-channel clips?

got the tape one ones myself. been there coming up on 2 yrs with 0 issues. 100F to 20F temps

I don't like the in-channel ones myself because they seem to interfere with the window when you roll it up.

I've had the in channel ones on for a couple of years as well, no issues at all so far. I've seen the tape on ones come loose and flap around on other peoples rides, but it's probably all in the prep when you install them.

I've also had in channels for 3 years with no problems. I prefer the look of the in channels over the tape ons.

I have in channels and have not window issues. One just developed a crack (happens to be the driver one) so now I hear whistling. I would go with a high quality unit like Weathertech though. These are the AVG ones and they aren't that strong at all, whether in-channel or tape on.

I have the tape ones and have had no problems except hail damage on the passenger side. I would like to go to the in channel ones, but at one time I had read about them popping out of the channels, and was wondering if it was that big of a problem.
