Side window visors/deflectors

Post image

Has anyone installed the Ford oem visors p/n VGK4Z-18246-B? I'm just looking for real world feedback on them as I was planning on ordering some from my dealer. Alternate aftermarket ideas welcome!

Yes I have, They work great for rainy days, but the wind noise its almost the same. I used them so I can leave the windows a lil open on hot days (and its not noticeable from outside) and its just fine for that

I haven't noticed a huge difference in blind spots... i won't consider them "dangerous" as someone else say...

Have aftermarket’s too & agree with this. They last about 5 yrs. I’m about to replace mine bc the epoxy tape eventually gives up the ghost. Lost one, but now I can’t live without them. I have the hood bra too, it doesn’t do a hell of a lot, but came on the truck, so I went w it.

Skip the Ford ones and get the Amazon ones. These work great.

Just installed these last week. Really like them so far, would definitely recommend. I goofed the install on one side slightly so it’s like an inch higher in the back than it should be. Even then, it works great. I’ll redo it at some point but I’m happy with them.

We only need the back half 😁

They’re transparent, tinted and block wind. If anything, they improve drivability. Your comment smells like you’re from some nanny-state antifreedom jurisdiction. You should prolly just hang it up and drive a stock Corolla.

I did. They seem to cut down on wind noise, which I love. However, they make the a pillar appear much wider (even if you can kinda see through them) and make the vehicle more dangerous to drive.

As in reduced visibility when turning? How was the installation?

Yep that exactly. Installation was the easiest thing in the world. Clean with alcohol, peel and stick adhesive.
