quick question about side window louvers???
on ebay it seems like every one is put on with 3m tape? is that gonna hold up at high speeds and over time? and is that how ford puts them on or do they use screws. it might be a dumb question but can't really trust ebay items. anyone have a good site to get these from or is ebay fine for this type of product? thanks for the help!

RE: quick question about side window louvers???
I have had mine on for about 6 months, no problems, they hold up on the highway and through car washes, no concerns about the 3M tape, it will hold! Most of them are put on this way, they only ones I think that aren't are the ones from SHR, with those you have to replace your entire glass piece(and they are $$$$$). If you are looking for some nice looking louvers, painted to match, that won't cost you an arm and a leg go to http://www.wheelskin.com/dg-3180.html and check these out. Perfect paint match, look good, they are slotted so you can see out and it is a reputable company. Alot of members here have these along with myself and we love them. Hope that helps!

It may be a little off topic, but does anybody here have any experience with these louvers?

That 3-M tape is STICKY as HELL. It holds extremely well if you clean the glass first. I got my 1/4 window louvers from Wheelskin pre-painted. Perfect color match.

Theyre way cool and I get a lot of attention about them. I have no rattles after replacing the window, but install was a little pricey. overall you might spend 400 (thats what i paid for everything) but its most definately worth it. Don't be a thread stealer and start a new thread, and I'm sure everyone who has them will post pics.
