Gale, I think GP `Dave did a excellent write-up on your above question. I have learned by trial, & many error's, and sometimes
it's difficult to explain the procedure on how things get posted.
Thanks GP `Dave, you are a great/helpful member of the Monte Carlo Family : )
Peace/Happiness to all,
`Space

Gale, thanks for the info... Mine seem to be pretty tight... not to much room for wiggle. But a little rattling won't bother me, as long as they don't like try and fall out while I'm riding around.
I also only smoke with the window cracked... which really does help. My family always complain about smoky cars, and I've never heard a peep from them about mine smelling... so I guess that's good. This is another reason I wanted the vent visors... Not only for the weather, but also because I think it helps create a better vacuum that better pulls the smoke out of the car. at least at the front of the window.
We'll see, I literally JUST put them on, haven't even gone driving yet, so we'll see.

Nah...they won't fall out. Mine seem to be fitting a little tighter with time, so maybe they just take longer to aclimate in the Monte.I agree that an occasional rattle is a small price to pay for the benefits.

Actually mine aren't rattling at all really. windows down or up... now when I'm going 50 mph or faster I rarely open the window fully... and only one window.. so maybe that makes a difference?
So far I'm fairly impressed. The venting action doesn't seem to be quite as good as the adhesive on type, but still good. Probably cause they're not quite as far from the window. Plus they look much better. Did you remove the weathertech sticker? I'm needing to clean off some fingerprints and was thinking that would be a good time to remove that as well.

Regarding the decals, I've always just left them on, but I imagine they'reeasy to remove.

They weren't bad on my red 2003.... But I think these look sleeker with the channel locks..... only thing that worries me, is when I leave my windows down a crac... (a benefit of these) there's nothing holding it on my car... a theif could just walk away... course they're not exactly something you can stuff under your jacket like an exhaust tip or headlight covers

Give me a 2007 SS any time. Gail, I have a question about the Weathertech's. How are they at highway speeds of 75 MPH plus? I have Weathertech's on my truck, but they are the adhesive sticker type, and they don't move at higher speeds.

and can be removed (and reinstalled) just as easily and quickly. They're designed and manufactured in Germany, and are extremely high quality. To the best of my knowledge, Weathertech does not offer any window deflectors that attach withtape.
At speed, I think it would be impossible for the Weathertechs to dislodge from the car - even with the window down all the way. From personal experience, I can tell you that they're solid as a rock @ 100 mph in a Mark VIII, with the window cracked an inch or two. Ditto with the Monte @ 80 mph, which is as fast as I've had it, so far.
