Default Best vent shade

I have used the Weather Tech vent shades in the past. I need them to block glare in the late afternoons. I really hate to destroy the look of my A4. Does anyone know of a better one. I am concerned that they will be thin enough to not affect the window operation.

I have the 2011 A4 sedan. This is my first Audi an I love it. What a great car.

Thanks for any help, BGC

Oh well! I ordered a set anyway, I will let you know how they work I hate to use them because I love the way my Audi looks as it came from the factory.

I did have the windows tinted and will add the vent shades in an attempt to help my eyes which are bothered by the glare. Something about old age and sunlight is working on me. :-)

Guess I don't know what vent shades are ?

We are getting the huperoptik ceramic tint done in a few weeks as the stock (or dealer added) tint does not block enough of the heat for our dfw summers

Vent shades fit the top of the window and allow lowering the window in rainy or very hot weather. You can view them at Car Mats, Floor Mats, Cargo Liners, Side Window Deflectors | WeatherTech.com.

I installed mine yesterday and they fit perfectly like OEM. They require no special tools to install.

Since they are smoke colored it affords extra sidelight protection from the sunlight.

I am very pleased with the look and the product.

Thanks, BGC

Default hot weather

The vent shades allow you to lower the window to relieve the pressure in the car during hot weather or rainy weather.
