    Tape on style deflector.. tape removed, new 3m double sided tape applied on opposite side of channel, to make it an in-channel visor.

    3.5” of visor trimmed off to accomplish a slimmer/sleeker visor.

    Only removed because my folding cover rests on it in the fully open position.

    The rear window works as it should with it in place.

    Paid $58 for it on eBay.
    Simply feel bad for just tossing it out. Make me an offer including shipping and we can make something work.

    I know you sold it, but could you have added some foam to your folding cover for when you have it up? I'm really liking the side window deflectors and want one for my back window but I do have a tri fold bed cover.

    Where it rested on the rear of the cab, the edge of the cover rested on the visor directly without touching the cab.

    With the cover open and the window down, it flexed the visor completely into the cab.

    out of fear of snapping the visor and or putting pressure on the window when it was shut, I decided removing it was my best option... which sucked... because it was soooo unique and I loved the look, but unfortunately sometimes function wins out.

    Damn... I would be in the same boat. This just adds to my regrets for not getting a retractable bed cover... oh well
