Review of Wade 55486 Slim Windguard 4 Piece Kia Sorento 03-06

I bought these for my o6 Kia Sorento, they fit the back door windows ok,
the front doors they seemed to be longer than they had to be.I did not like the fit or look, plus they were not streamline to the window like
the set I ended up with.

Review of Lund 49459 Interceptor Stainless Steel Wrap-Around Bug Shield

This is a super nice bug shield and it's stainless steel which makes it much more durable compared to the plastic ones on the market today. It is not so easy to install however, the included hardware is a little on the cheap side and it makes it hard to get the well nuts to stay in the holes under your hood, I suggest going to Home Depot or Lowe's and buying some larger well nuts, (they are the little rubber things) that the screws go into under the hood to secure the bug shield to your vehicle, other than that it is a great product!!

Product Description

Review of Auto Ventshade 23454 Bugflector Smoke Hood Shield

Looks good, fits good but it has a few issues. First, they state "...can be installed with a 3M adhesive foam tape" which could be true if it were included in the package... which it isn't. however, even if it were I wouldn't recommend sticking anything on the front of your hood with tape and then hitting the highway... and the speed limit here in Idaho is 75 and seeing this thing fly off, up and over your vehicle and into one behind you is more than I want to see.

Secondly, my Ford Expedition, like most other vehicles, already have holes pre-drilled on the underside of the hood to use the included plastic screws & shims. The screws are too short and can't be tightened enough to hold the deflector in place and the shims just rotate in place so they're useless.

To install this properly you need to pre-drill some new holes in the plastic near the existing holes, mark the new spots on the underside of the hood and then drill the hood and use some sheet metal screws. I tried using some self tapping screws in a cordless drill without pre-drilling the shield and it broke so don't try that one. Using metal screws with a flat washer, short ones or they'll come through the finish side of your hood, is the only way to do the install.

Item is a 5 star but the lame install material makes it a 4 star.

Review of EGR 571701 In-Channel Slimline WindowVisor - 4 Piece

Overall I'm happy with the purchase.Item is of good quality and fits my truck ('07 Silverado) perfectly.A couple of items of note:There is a large "EGR" stamp on the passenger side visor and a small "EGR" stamp on the driver's.The description makes it sound like there is no adhesive involved in the installation at all - while this IS true of the front visors, the rear visors have a thin, sticky line of adhesive under a peel-off strip that holds it in.After looking at it, I'm not sure how else it would possibly stay in so its acceptable.Also, your experience may differ but it took two tries before I received this item in a form other than completely shattered. Item comes in a thin, unreinforced box.If bent too far, visors will break.

Product Description
