Hello all, summer is here and my black 94 Accord EX is turning into a veritable sauna. I don't really have any shaded parking options, and with the erratic Virginia weather I never really know when I can leave the windows cracked for fear of a random thunderstorm barreling through. So I'm looking into vent visors or wind deflectors or whatever you'd call them. I've seen various brands and types and I'm wondering - what's your favorite of the bunch that are available for a 5th generation Accord? Are the tape-on ones really that bad, or should I go with an in-channel model? Also re; in-channel, I can't seem to find a manufacturer that currently offers a 4-piece set, only a 2 piece for the front windows(mine's a 4dr EX sedan). I'd prefer a 4-piece if I can find it.

Thanks in advance!

 

Have you looked at AVS- Auto Vent Shade?

 

Here is a four piece set I am looking at myself. I am looking for the in channel design myself which I believe these are

@ Poorman - yes I have. But the in-channel models state "not available for your vehicle". I've seen a 2-piece in-channel set from Weathertech, but I'd prefer a 4-piece. It just seems to be hard to locate for a 4dr sedan. Maybe they're going by the wayside as my car approaches 20 years of age(although as we can all attest there's still a ton of 5th gen Accords on the road at any given moment!)

@ Kawickrice - the link you posted is not for an in-channel model. At the bottom of it's description in the link it says "Easy no-drill installation using 3M adhesive foam tape." which negates this. The adhesive foam tape install-types are installed on the outside. I've read a few reviews stating that the adhesive foam tape gives way after awhile, starts leaking, etc. But I'd like to hear others here in the forums weigh in on this, if possible....

 

I bought in channel vents for my van and it has 3m tape to hold it in the channel. I do believe those are in channel. The second review leads me to believe these are in channel visors

 

Ah, I see. I thought the tape meant it attached to the outer edge of the windowframe.

 

My car has them and they are being held on with tape. Had the car a year now and the only one that seems to be coming off a little bit is the one by the sun roof (which I hope falls off soon...). But when I got the car it already had them on there and I have no idea how long they have been on there.

 

The best ones hands down are the OEM dealer-optional ones made by Honda Access. They are hard to find though, some will pop up on eBay every couple months.
