Default Weathertech visors

Anyone running the 4-door Weathertech visors on they're 3rd Gen GS? I know people are running the JDM stick ons, but I'd prefer the channel design.

i have them. they are not as strong as the JDM, which is my only complaint. i have broken my driverside front by leaning in the window to start grab something out of the center consol...but, they are 100 bucks, which is a damn sight better that 400ish for the JDM....

Just curious as I have them on my IS300 and they were great in the beginning, but now they seem to rattle a bit when the window is down a bit.

They snap into the window channel and are locked in when the window is up all the way up compared to the JDM ones which attach with double sided tape on the outside

my weathertech/AVS visors attach via double sided tape. from what i understand, the JDM attach in the manner which you describe above. maybe the IS is different than the GS, but i would imagine not. they do vibrate if you do not install correctly.

I have the Weathertech on my GS for 4 years... works just fine and looks very low-key as well. My only complaint is the wind noise at highway speed. Maybe JDM will have less wind noise since its more flat to the side windows?
