Has anyone tried using the in-channel window vents? I bought some AVS in-channel vents for my '18 Limited and, as I feared, I can't raise the windows without pulling the ventshade out so the glass gets by the plastic inserts. After I installed them, I didn't lower the windows for 5 days, hoping the heat would help conform the plastic in the channel - no luck.
On my '16 Explorer, I had the Ford brand exterior mount ventshades but hated the way they looked so I removed them and bought the in-channel type, never got around to installing them (they're in my garage, traded in the Explorer). I had an '08 Expedition Eddie Bauer and I used the in-channel ventshades on it with no issues.
In Arizona, it's really nice to leave all the windows cracked for the heat without worrying about sudden monsoon rains popping up allowing rain inside the car. I'm wondering if I remove the ventshades and grind down the edges of the plastic if that would allow the glass to slide by. Of course, by removing them, I'd have to replace the double-sided adhesive and that would be a PIA!
