Just installed these in channel AVS Ventshades on my new 2022 F150 SCREW, no problems with install, no bounce back on first roll up, no need to “pull” the visor out for it to work and the look is nice and clean as I expected. Real test will come in 2 - 3 days after allowing time for adhesion to sit with the windows up. I will provide a final update at that point.
As others have said in the comments, proper installation is the key to avoiding bounce back or hitting. You MUST insert the tabs at the front and back of the visors in between the trim and frame for these to work. This sounds difficult and might even look “off/weird” when you dry fit them but the final look is clean and sleek. For the front doors, there is a tab on the front and rear of the visor, the rear goes in between the trim piece and door frame, the front goes in between the trim piece and mirror trim. For the rear doors there is only one tab at the front of the visor that goes between the trim and door frame.
Below were the steps I followed, upon final window roll up I didn’t have to crawl my window into place or hold the visor out for the window to close. The front windows even auto closed on their own.
1. Read these instructions and perform a dry fit first to familiarize yourself with placing the tabs between the frame and channel. If you attempt to roll up the window while dry fitting, expect the window to bounce back as you have not adhered the visor to the channel yet.
2. Clean all 4 window channels with the provided alcohol swabs.
3. Front windows
a. Start by peeling back 1 – 2 inches of the tape backing on each side.
b. Insert the rear tab in between the door frame and trim. (I used a non-marring panel removal tool to open it up a little), working from the back to the front push the visor into the window channel, once you get to the front, insert the tab in-between the mirror cap and trim.
c. Before pulling off the tape, give the visor a firm push up, you want to “stage the visor in its final resting place.
d. Slowly pull the 3M backing off from one side whole pushing the visor up and forward, again you are assisting the visor into its final resting place.
e. Once the backing was removed, I placed my non marring tool into the window channel and gentle ran it along the back of the visor while pushing up to give it a little help.
f. Slowly roll up the window.
4. Rear windows
a. Start by peeling back 1 – 2 inches of the tape backing on each side, unlike the front visor, there is a 1.5” vertical strip at the rear of the visor, peel that off completely.
b. Insert the front tab in between the door frame and trim. (I used a non-marring panel removal tool to open it up a little), working from the front to the back push the visor into the window channel.
c. Before pulling off the tape, give the visor a firm push up, you want to “stage the visor in its final resting place.
d. Slowly pull the 3M backing off from one side whole pushing the visor up and forward, again you are assisting the visor into its final resting place.
e. Once the backing was removed, I placed my non marring tool into the window channel and gentle ran it along the back of the visor while pushing up to give it a little help.
f. Slowly roll up the window.
