Default Window Vent Visors

I recently traded for a 96 4x4 4D Blazer. Every time I have the window cracked the least little bit, water runs right in (onto the power window controls). I am looking for some window vent visors. All of the websites I have visited have stock photos of some other vehicle so you can't see exactly how the different brands fit. I am mostly concerned about the front edge near the mirror. I want it to look clean and tidy, like it really was made for this vehicle. Which ones are you guys running?

check out a local parts store like Advance Auto Parts or something. since it's such a common body style (same between S10s and Blazers) there's a chance they'll have some in stock, even if it is just for a 2 door S10, you can at least look at the fronts. most actually stick to the black window trim and tuck in and under the mirror so it's a pretty clean look, but it all depends on the brand. you'll be able to tell because at the bottom front it'll be indented inwards a little to tuck under the mirror. I've also seem them that stick to the actual door itself and come down over the door mirror, that'll be obvious by the bottom front bulging out some

I bought a set that fits inside the window channel. Near the mirrors there is a strip that sticks beside the mirror. I had to trim the groove a little on the window vent visor to make it fit but now i have them on all 4 doors and they look and work great. I will post pics in my garage as i haven't figured out how to post on the threads.

It is looking like mine is going to need a little trimming near the mirror also. I appreciate the pics jmparker82!

I stopped by a local shop that sells window visors and other car/truck accessories. They said they would install them for me for $5, so I let them. They tucked them in behind the mirror.

I hope it didn't push the mirrors out to far. Don't want them to leak whenever it rains.
