Window Visors

Do you drive with the side window slightly open in the rain, or want to air out the car while it's parked? Window visors sit above the side windows and direct water and airflow away from the opening, so you can let fresh air in with less draught and less rain in the cabin.

Outside mount or in-channel

Window visors typically come in two designs. Outside mount models sit on the body above the door opening and are usually attached with tape, e.g. AVS Ventvisor Outside Mount in chrome for RAM 1500 Crew Cab and Jeep Grand Cherokee. In-channel models are pushed up into the window channel itself, e.g. AVS Ventvisor In-Channel in smoke for Subaru Outback and Chevy Malibu. Outside mount visors require no work in the channel, while in-channel models can give a more integrated look – it depends on the car and the product. At Husky Liners you'll find the Low Profile Ventvisor, and the category also includes brands such as Putco, LUND and Rugged Ridge.

How to choose window visors

Fitment depends on model, year and body style, so compare the product name with your car before you order. Also pay attention to:

• Number of pieces: 4-piece sets cover front and rear doors, while 2-piece sets, e.g. for Ford Ranger, typically cover only two windows.
• Mounting: outside mount or in-channel – choose the type that suits your door and the look you want.
• Finish: smoke or chrome, depending on the product.
• Preparation: tape mounting typically requires a clean, grease-free surface and a suitable temperature before the tape bonds properly.

Frequently asked questions

Are window visors road legal at inspection?

It depends on the product and the car. The inspection may typically look at visibility and protruding edges. Check the approval and any E-mark for the specific part number before you fit the visors.

Can the window close normally with in-channel visors?

In-channel models sit where the window runs, so the window's anti-pinch function may react at first until the visor has settled. It depends on the car and the product, so follow the installation instructions carefully.

How do I care for my window visors?

Wash them with mild soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive products and solvents that can dull the surface or weaken the tape. After a new installation, it's typically best to avoid automatic car washes for the first few days.
