Windows Vents/Visors

[Christato71]

If I was thinking about getting some of these would I just get a pair (http://www.partstrain.com/store/details/Oldsmobile/Alero/Ventshade/Vent_Visor/1999/GX/4_Cyl_2-dot-4L/V1592601.html) for the driver and passenger doors? I have a 2-door so would it look stupid with just two or would I need to buy other ones for the smaller back windows?

[Chris2000]

I don't think it looks good in general.

[robalero]

if you bought some for the smaller rear windows on your 2 door I think it would look stupid, if your going to install them however cover up the chrome trim around the windows or esle it looks stupid

[cherrington17]

Regardless of how stupid it looks... I'm getting some myself. I've definitely moved beyond the requirement of "looks good" to the "i need my car to be functional" stage.

eff looks. my car has visible rust. its not going to be on a showroom floor.

Are you going to buy a pair for just the driver and passenger doors?

[Vella's Alero]

I have them on my sedan and they don't look too bad. If you're putting them on a coupe, I don't even think they have then for the rear window so it would just be for the functional windows.

i have the weathertech brand ones that go inside the track on the top of the window, and this allows functionality and looks by not wrecking the chrome trim on the outside, and does not require tape, or wreck the tracking of the windows

I have a coupe, so just the fronts. (it would be idiotic to have them on the back windows, since they are immovable.)

They are good if you want to smoke while its raining

Mine don't. Stop breathing so much :rolleyes2:

[cherrington17]

if your defroster is on, the sides fog. if the sides are on, the front fogs. there is no good setting with the damn hvac, except having the windows cracked open.

...but the geniuses who designed the roof... decided its a great idea to slope it so water pours off the side of the roof directly onto the window controls. thanks guys!

Where did you purchase those at? and how would you install them?

[robalero]

installing them is simple just stick it in the window opening and away you go, as for were to get it I am unsure but I think im going to look for a pair too

[Alerojester]

i just looked them up on weathertech.com and they are $59.95 before shipping

[Christato71]

hmmmmm that's a little expensive

[robalero]

ouch I just checked for here in canada its $90 shipped

[Alerojester]

considering if you go to an autoparts store they get them for like $20 and sell them for $50+ depending on which one it is

[robalero]

yea ill be checking local places before I buy it online I know of a few local stores that may have them

[C_EICK]

I got mine at Autozone for like $60. The look decent on coupes with tint.

Do you have any pics?

[C_EICK]

check out my profile, im on my roommate's computer so i cant upload.

[Christato71]

did yours install over the chrome piece that runs over the window?

[C_EICK]

Yes I did, it's the only way you can, they don't have in-channel vent visors for the Alero.


***post 500 yay!***

[Christato71]

Yes they do. You can get them here (http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvproduct.aspx?ItemGroupId=4&VehId=515&Year=1999&VehOptChoiceIds=10), they just aren't tinted and are more expensive.

[C_EICK]

well that is a ne develepment since i got mine. nobody had in-channel when i was shopping.

I personally have the vent shades, they go over the chrome and I really like them. I don't like the clear ones as much because if you want to park your car with the windows open a bit, people can actually see that you've done that which would be a pain in the summer cause I do that a lot.

Also as a side note, I like how that site says, "Shown on Oldsmobile Alero" When the wing is definitely a Grand Am...lol.

i got mine at a small shop in my town, they had to special order them for me, it took almost 2 weeks, but they gave me a good deal on them... i have a sedan, and they have been on for almost 5 years with no issues... mine have a slight tint to them, it matches the tint on my windows almost perfectly and it is true, they slide right in the groove and took about 5 minutes to do all 4 windows...http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs227.snc4/38687_418921997556_512172556_4543388_7918611_n.jpg (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4543389&id=512172556)
