Default Ventshade - Where can I find

I have looked everywhere and I can't find Ventshade/Lund type that is stick-on around the door frame. Weathertech and another brand have one for 10RX but they are "clip-in" type. I prefer the outside stick-on type because they fit and last longer than the clip-in type.

I actually like the clip on better than the stick on. I've had it on my 4runner ltd for 10 years and never had a problem with coming loose or anything. Plus it gives it a more custom, clean look than the stick on, IMHO.

This is normally used for people who smoke and can crack the window open, flick their ash, without it flying back inside, all over the place. I don't smoke so I used it when it rains and i want to open the window a bit. Helps me stay dry

I have used both types but with newer vehicle(s) there just isn’t enough space. Weather strip around the window may experience prematurely wear with all the “rubbing”. Recently I nearly broke the window trying to put on window “clip-on” team flag. This is the same clip-on flag I was able to put on 05RX.

“lex”, if you haven’t used one before, this would be “best” mod/add-on. Slightly lowering car window while parked outside can drastically reduce interior heat buildup. With vent-shade, I don’t have to worry about rain getting inside [if it rains]. Same concept as the 10Prius with solar panel option that will automatically circulate out-inside air while parked under the sun. That is why it is very common to see SUV/CUV, trucks, vans with vent shades.

Hope Ventshade/LUND will make one soon.
