Review on Auto Ventshade [AVS] Low Profile Ventvisor / Rain Guards Matte Black, 4 Pc 774011 Fits 2009 - 2014 Ford F-150 SuperCrew, 2011 - 2014 SVT Raptor SuperCrew by Charles Palma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

These are great and I'd buy them again, full price, if these ever fail.

I really do like the look of these vent-visors. I'm used to the larger, more extended ones (the normal size, I guess), but these low-profile ones were just as easy to install and look really clean on my truck, which is black, so they blend in well and almost look like they came from the factory.Downside:The front-driver-side visor is not the correct curve to match the door's window-gasket. It's a small amount too curved, but only noticeable to the keen eye. That, and the fact that they were designed (for the 2009 F150 4-door at least) to adhere to the window gasket on all four doors, as well as the plastic panels at the B-Pillar section of both doors. They're is a small gap between the window gasket and the plastic panel (of course) and this vent-visor's not gonna seal that gap with a little strip of adhesive. The loss of a star is the result of these things, along with the fact that the images shown on the description are NOT covering the plastic panels, but these visors DEFINITELY do. They meet at the seam of the front and back door, basically butting up against each other.Upside: They're the actual "AVI" brand, not some knock-off crap, so they'll last a long time and won't fall of with the first rain/wind storm. These low-profile ones look REALLY clean on the truck from all angles, IMO, and keep the streamline of the truck much better that standard-size vent shades.The coloring/ tinting of these is clean, uniform, and without blemishes or bad spots. I ordered them from Best Buy Warehouse Deals "scratch & dent" section, but they arrived with nothing more than the protective film a little scratched. Way to go Best Buy W/H Deals!Final thoughts: I purchased these for about 40% of what new ones cost, & I know I got lucky with that. But I was going to buy vent-shade visors regardless, only now I'm really happy the only ones Best Buy W/H had were the low-profile ones. These are great and I'd buy them again, full price, if these ever fail. I'll attach pics as soon as possible. I've only had them on for a few days now, so I can't review longevity of these, yet. 6-8-2016

Pros
  • Have to see how they hold up. They fit and look good. Feel a little flimsy but they stuck good.
Cons
  • The placement of the guards may interfere with the operation of power windows
