I leave my windows cracked for the air to move around when it is hot outside, and I do not care if it going to rain or not as the guards will keep the rain out if it rains, but they keep the car cool any day, that is for sure
The only in-channel guards that I could find and gave the link to are made by Team Heko in Poland. They come with metal clips, two per each guard, I think that is too few to held them secure in place, so I bought another set of those metal clips and now I have four clips holding each guard, which is much better. Guards also have some tape on each end and middle, but I do not think that tape do much anyway, I added more tape on one of the front guards that one day came lose somehow, but the rest are held just fine with four clips and that little tape that originally was on them, so far do not see any issues.

I have to use AC, 360 days of hot summer, at 70-90% humidity. Remember wing vents and 455 cooling when I was a teenager.

Yes I got mine from a different guy, he does not have them any more, there are only one or two guys sell those team Heko. My windows are tinted, and I have no issues yet, I crack my windows pretty much every day the glass is not touching them.
Here is the link for extra clips, incase you want some extra, you may even try them for you Amazon ones if you would buy those, but the clips may not work for those if they are thicker or made differently. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256324753854
