There’s 2 types.

In channel and the one that uses adhesive.

I never installed a set, so not sure if the in-channel window visor has adhesive.
in channel was what i was thinking about.. but i still need some ideas where to get and what brand or type. the ones i saw on amazon were adhesive. and i dont want those.. a lot of complaints on that.. i want someone who has some to give me an idea. other complaints were that the ones ordered would not fit their corolla

I have used the Auto Ventshade (AVS) deflectors, in-channel (also uses adhesive) adhesive type, in the past. Put them on a 2014 Ford Focus sedan and they were solid for 8 years. That said, I recently bought the AVS deflectors for my '17 Camry, and they were a big disappointment, the fit was crap. I went with the much higher priced Weathertech deflectors, perfect fit, high quality, and I'll see how they last.

Problem I see for you is there do not seem to be many options for '24 model Corollas yet. If I had to, I would pick up the in-channel adhesive type for a '23 Corolla, either Goodyear or maybe AVS, from Amazon. Just test fit and return if '24 is too much different from '23 (I have no idea about this, maybe others here will).

Here's another data point about the in-channel type that uses the adhesive strips. I have them on a '95 Ford Explorer XLT (4 door). I forget the brand, but these have been solid on the vehicle for 20+ years. Surface prep for the adhesive, in the channel, is important. Get the channel clean first.

FWIW ...
