Auto Ventshade 194155 In-Channel Ventvisor, 4 Piece 2013 F-150

Save your money and move forward. I read all the reviews, good and bad, as well as those that talked of the "Ford auto window" problems. I read reviews where this problems has been addressed and fixed.I don't think so!I have used this manufacture for window vents as well as bug shield deflectors for years and have always been pleased in the past. But as for the current, not so pleased. Directions are easy to follow, pretty quick n easy straight forward installation.clean the surface being applied to, pull tape from adhesive tape, place in channel of window, push in retaining clip. Roll up window checking for fit.problem is you can't use the auto feature on the Ford F-150.Two problems however:1. The auto function on the windows detects the window visors on the front windows and kicks into the reverse auto function thus lowering the window. You can ease the window up in baby steps not allowing it to detect the mounting lip or clip of the vent visor, but this take a lot of time to roll a window up. This could easily cause enough distraction to result in an accident. Bad design flaw.2. They do not extend very far outward which allows for very little or next to no ventilation to the vehicle. The material is much more thin than the material used on the exterior taped on applications, which when the window is in the up position the vent visors tend to exhibit a warped look. Almost as though they are buckled.Bottom line save your money and frustration. Even at a savings of almost 50% they are not worth the money spent when everything is considered.I am going to leave these installed for a couple of weeks to see if the fit of the vent visor won't wear enough to allow enough compensation for the window auto feature to work as it should. IF this doesn't correct itself I will be contacting Best Buy for a return authorization and refund. I highly recommend Best Buy for this feature and ability, Best Buy's Customer Service is #1.**********Just to clarify, This is my personal observation. I can only attest to the fit, finish and function of how these fit on my F-150 and cannot and do not say this problem is an across the entire manufactures models offered.

Pros
  • Works well for me. Not that bad to install.
Cons
  • Clips didn't insert completely. Causing the the auto windows to not stay up.
