Rain Guards

Does anybody have a picture or know what im talking about? Or know a company who still makes these? They seem to press into the upper window groove, a guy who got laid off at work had them and i never got around to asking.

I have black Ventshades on my truck, I ordered them from Pep Boys.

I like to be able to roll down my window when it is raining and not get wet.

They go under the window channel and have several small stainless steel screws to hold them.

I have stainless VENTSHADEs on several of our trucks.

I very much prefer them over the clear smoke plastic sticky-tape ones that are on the wife's truck.


Genuine VENTSHADEs are getting hard to find.

And this the reason most yards want let people go pull their own parts anymore.

I really doubt thats why yards wont let you walk around them. It prob has more to do with liability cause every one is so sue happy. Also the environmentalists are playing a roll in that I dont think its the small things people have taken out of the yard.

I spent more than enough at that yard that day to cover their "losses"

The money I spent at that yard probly paid for both the trucks I bought parts off of.
