Default Vent visors

Hi their,
I'm looking to install window vent visors on my New to Me Madza3. I am fimilure with the stick on type. Do they look slick on the 3 and if so what brand would you recommend. I have read about ones that fit into the window chanel but I have no knowledge what so ever about them. Reviews I have read were not good about there instillation. If anyone has used them with good results, what make and price figure. THANKS

Yeah, I know ppl that have them too. They look OK, depending upon the look that you're going for. As far as brand, Vent Visor is only one of the possible brands, but one of the easiest and cheapest too.

I did, but it was years ago in my GF's Civic. It made the windows harder to roll up completely. I worried about it eventually wearing the window lifts. I can't imagine the plastic ones would be any better. I believe the ones you are referring to are offered by Auto Anything.com? If so, my opinion is that EVERYTHING they offer is more expensive than it should be... imo.

Macneil sells the best going, the in-channel kind.
They are very well engineered.
Once they wear it, don't hurt the window lifts.


IMHO the tape-ons look like a cheap tape-on and do not survive many winters or automatic car washes.
And if you don't line them up PERFECTLY they look really bad.

For speed3 drivers the best thing I have seen are the JDM Genuine Mazda visors. They are tape-on, but they look good and fit perfectly.
