What_It_Do

Noticing that during cold weather my interior gets alot of condensation on the inside of the windows after sitting for a few hours with my windows up.

Thinking that if I can keep the windows open a bit it would help.

Wondering how they look on a coupe, especially on gray.

Post pics if you got 'em!

And do they work to help condensation build-up on the interior?

I just got mine in the mail like a week ago. I can honestly say that they do look good on coupes. I love them lol. As for them helping out with condensation..cant really say for sure havent tried it out. Ill post pics tomorrow or sometihng. Wont be raining here for a few days so my baby's getting the washing she deserves

lazlong

They don't help.

Pheet

So as promised, here is a pic of my car showing the left side visor. I hope this'll help you on your decision!

What_It_Do

Sweet, thanks for the pics.
I can imagine that they are barely noticeable with a dark tint on the window.

I'll assume they help with wind noise as well while driving with the windows down a bit.

Going to get these..
Cheap Vent Visors

Yeah, it's a little less noisy. It also helps when it rains too.

spend the extra money and get weathertechs.

What_It_Do

My concern was that the in-channel kind sit too low and may block my visibility, without having to duck to see under them. (I'm tall)

lazlong

I learned to live with it. After awhile you won't even notice.

lowlife9

well they aren't completely black there still transparent.

What_It_Do

Yeah, the one's I linked to, don't follow the curvature of the window frame very well, and IMO, unusable.
Off by a good 1/2", and the only way to make them work is to physically bend them. Under that kind of stress I don't see how the 3M tape would hold them.

I immediately went inside and ordered the WeatherTechs.

Hopefully they actually fit the damn window.

Maxplus brand from Ebay. Cost $20 plus shipping. Really good fit. Been on a year and still going strong.

lowlife9

there is a guy selling real carbon fiber vents for around 80 dollars but there the stick on style the in channels he is currently working on.

What_It_Do

I never saw those while searching on Ebay, just the crap ones I got and the WeatherTechs.

Link to seller?


BTW, carbon fiber vent visors?
Seriously, is acrylic not light enough?

The CF ones look badass. Not gonna lie. Pretty much made for aesthetics.

They don't have any for coupes now: http://stores.ebay.com/Ebstores-Auto-Racing

The ones I bought from eBay are these visors http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...STRK:MERFB:IID
They are Maxplus as well and fit perfectly on my car.

I noticed the little fish-eye mirror. I thought I was the only one. lol. Believe it or not, I look in that one rather than the stock mirror. I think it comes from years drive the box trucks.

Pheet

Ahahaha I only use those when Im parking. I have troubles seeing the lines so I just use those. Sad but true. I am an Asian driver or atleast parker.

ExistEvolution

is condensation happening because outside atmosphere is entering the car, so i think you'd just make it worse if you left the windows down.

What_It_Do

Think it occurs because the outside temperature cools faster than the inside.
If both interior and exterior are the same, you would think there would be no condensation.

ExistEvolution

that should leave condensation on the exterior, who wants to be a guinea pig to try this theory out, i would but its raining non stop here lol

What_It_Do

Condensation on the outside while it's raining? haha

Please tell me that's a joke!

ExistEvolution

i was not talking about when it rains, condensation builds up when its cold out (i can go into detail with this if you like), ever heard of dew? Unless there is moisture inside your car then you should not have condensation build up on the interior.

ExistEvolution

so think about it this way leave your windows down overnight you will have more moisture inside your car then having your window up overnight, check your weather stripping and for interior leaks. And don't be a smartass =]
