Gen6 eBay's cheap tape on vent visors=junk (Pictures)

Just wanted to see if any good, and of course you get what you pay for. Figured would post to warn others against it, since they don't even aling with the window and create more window noise than before...I know people recommend in-channel ones mainly made by weathertech etc. that are 3-4 times the price but I wanted to save some $$$...buyer beware!

Below is the link

yea i would never buy those tape-on visors...i want to get the weathertech in channel visors as well but theyre pricey so im gonna hold off for now...ive seen a few in channel visors on ebay that are no name brand that are much cheaper than weathertech but im afraid of getting cheap quality visors...thanks for the warning!

How much did those cost?!

Like you said, you get what you pay. Even though the WeatherTech is pricey ($90 shipped), I'll pay more and have it done right rather than spend money on a product I wouldnt be happy with.

Also, couldnt you make it flush by aligning/bending it? I hate the stick ons because its a bitch to remove as well as the sticky residue. Goo Gone doesnt work on it either...I've tried =(

*EDIT*
After checking out the site where I ordered my WeatherTechs for my Camry, Matrix, Accord, it seems my source and code no longer works for WeatherTech brands.

Products under the following Product Lines are not eligible for order-level discounts:
  • Weathertech Bug Shields
  • WeatherTech Extreme Duty Floor Liners
  • WeatherTech Floor Mats
  • WeatherTech Molded No Drill Mud Flaps
  • WeatherTech RackSack Roof Top Cargo Carrier
  • Weathertech Sunroof Deflectors
  • WeatherTech Vehicle Pet Barrier
  • WeatherTech Vent Visors
I bought my vent visors and floor mats from them. Now I have to find another source.

It was only $29.99 with free shipping. It's acrylic so you can only bend it so much...plus if you do, the 3M tape that holds it in place will be under pressure and will not stick well at all

what you can do is black out the chrome if you're going to keep them for a while until you save up enough
