Get To Know About Your Vehicle's Vent Visor

After a long drive or in a scenic and pleasant place, driving with the windows down can be relaxing but in rain or at higher speeds, can cause discomfort inside a car with both wind noise and spray affecting you and your passengers. Vent Visors work by simply deflecting rain and wind away from your car windows making the interior a much more comfortable environment. Designed to keep mud, sand, dust and wind out of your vehicle especially for off-roading vehicles where the on-spray from dirt and water can be very annoying and can cause discomfort to the driver and the passengers. Vent Visors are simple plastic parts that easily attach to the window sides using some 3M tape.

They are fitted to the side of the window on both front and rear doors.

Vent visors or Wind deflectors, Window Deflectors, Vent Deflectors, whatever you know them by, help lessen these problems by slightly changing a vehicle’s aerodynamic contour. When wind hits the deflectors it is redirected over the open windows and around the sides of the vehicle, preventing it from streaming in through the window. Being able to keep your car well ventilated reduces the need for the use of air conditioning, which in turn can reduce fuel consumption which is certainly helpful in any recreational trip off-road. Vent visors ensure that rain and damp cannot enter through the open windows, and also help to prevent misting of car windows when it rains; they help reduce winter condensation and they also reduce sun glare through side windows.

These are usually made of plastic as they are an expandable trim piece on the car and with sustained usage can get deteriorated and weathered due to the elements and daily use. These are usually made to deflect oncoming wind which carries dirt, debris and rocks that can break the deflector on impact.

After long the vent visors on the car will show signs of deterioration and lose its strength and can fall off the door due to the glue being dried up. They also crack on impacts and with prolonged exposure to the sun, they can look worn and old.

Installing a new set of vent visors is easy and requires very little time and effort and for an easy guide, follow these steps:

• To remove the old vent deflector, use a plastic scraper and insert it between the window channel and the vent visor.
• Try to gently scrape off the vent and if there is too much resistance use a heat gun to heat the vent and loosen the glue strength to remove the visor.
• Now to install the new vent first test fit the visor and get a good idea of exactly where the vent deflector will slide into the widow Chanel and attach.
• Take the alcohol pad included with the new deflectors and clean the surface where it will be placed in the window channel. Cleaning the area well will ensure perfect adhesion of the vent to the door and will last much longer.
• Now remove the adhesive backing off the tape and securely attach the vent inside the window channel. Press firmly against the rubber and then roll up the window while holding the visor towards the door.
• Leave the window up to its maximum for at least a few hours to make sure the glue has properly adhered.
