Subject: Bug Deflector/Window Vents = Wind Noise
IP: Logged

Message:
I have Lunds Exterminator Bug Deflector and Auto-Vent window vents and get too much wind noise from those vents (where the bottom of the vents installs over the mirror posts)

I'd say the problem is with the window vents.

Those that have the bug deflector/window vent combo, what brand of window vents should I get for just the front windows of my 2001 QC, without getting that annoying wind noise?

They have to be smoked in tint color to match the rear window vents.

Thanks in advance...

MACE,

I have the EGR in channel window visors on all four of my doors- they are just like the McNeils WeatherFlectors but are the darker tint that you are looking for- I bought mine off eBay, but I can look up the name of the guy and his email if you want me too. As far as the wind noise- they seem to have cut it down quite a bit(IMO). Heres the best picture I have of them installed (click for larger pic.):

Rich,
I`ve been looking at my local parts stores and haven`t found those yet. How much were they and where did you find them? Thanks a bunch.

Scott,

Like I said in my original post I got mine on eBay; this is the Sellers information, though he doesn't have any of these up for auction at all right now:

email: duitaskforce@aol.com
Ebay User(Seller) ID: lux41

I paid $41.00 plus shipping- might be worth at least dropping him a line to see if he still can get them for you.

Stylin Concepts sells these everyday for $59.95(4 doors) plus shipping or $44.95(2 door).

Rich, those in channel EGRs look nice, I can see why they would cut down on wind noise -vs- mine which mount on the body.

For $41, that is for all 4 windows, right?

Thanks..
