Saw a summit white HHR yesterday at the Advance Auto Parts around the corner. It had a set of stick-on ventvisors that had been painted to match the body. They looked good, although I can't say the same for some of the other junk that the dealer had loaded on it.

 

I read the posts but can't tell what you guys are talking about.

 

Look at the #5 post that Hillsdale did of my car with the side window vent shades. Shheees where the hell have you been Tibet?

I had the in-channel on mine. when I had the tint re-done the guy showed me how they were scratching the glass.

You would never see it when the window was up and it was on on the top edges, but it was still there.

For now, I'm going with-out.

They are real nice to have in the summer though and I may change my mind. If I do I'll get the in channel again. the scratches were very minor to me and I thought they looked much better than the tape-ons.

 

Why are they called "vent" shades? What do they vent or shade? What are their function? I seen an HHR up the street from me that I do believe has that.

 

It is what its called, a vent. It vents air from your car.

The allow you to leave the windows on your car cracked with out worrying about rain.

 

Well not too sure about the in-channel ones or the scratch issue. I have had the stick on ones on my last 3 cars including my HHR. I have not had any of them fall off even with the temp changes here in WI or even going through car washes. So hope this helps but it still comes down to personal preference. Best of luck. Either way I think they are a good thing to have especially in the summer.

 

I am looking to get InChannel ones regardless of the scratch issue...Since SoCal is down for now, does anyone know where I can find the EGR brand that only cover a portion of the rears?

 

Here's a place to start.....

I WANT CHROME IN CHANNELS

and will wait for them. Bought the glue ons and threw them out.after a day. They looked too glued on for my tastes. Plus I did not want sand getting all in the edges.
