Beware of These Window Vents from Ebay

[TNFurb]

I bought these through the Ford Motor Company official store on eBay. It says these are for the Maverick. After receiving them today however it’s clear they do not fit and they are not the OEM visors. I believe another forum member once posted a thread about the Ford vents being too short and chalked it up to a bad mold. But if he bought these from Ford eBay site, then I’m having the same problem. Pics attached, but the curvature is off and they are too short. If I pushed them flush against the mirror housing then they would have been too short on the back end. Lining the back end up correctly resulted in a gap up by the window housing. Very disappointed. I’ve ordered a set from Fairway Ford who is selling via eBay. Hopefully those will be the right ones. If so I will add to this post when I install them. Here’s the link to the incorrect set I bought off of Ford’s ebay store.

Are you sticking with them or sending them back?

I had these, they sucked, fitment is off and your suppose to stick them to the rubber window trim…comes off easy…sticking to the paint makes them look off, do yourself a favor and get the EGR in channel ones. Waaaaay better.

Lots of not so good reports on these. They are sharp, poorly made, often don't line up and the rears are VERY long.

I am sending them back. Thankfully getting a full refund.

I got those with points from Ford Not entirely happy with them.
installed front lip fully under molding, just above rubber. Falls short of door edge in rear on front door, I figured it was to allow rear door room to open without rubbing. Made by Lund. Wanted lower over window to leave window opened most of the time but can only leave window down about a half inch.

WeatherTech is now making the in channel version for the front window only. They fit perfectly and look much better than the glued on ones $60+

Thanks for the info. I’ve had the weather tech in channel visors before on another truck. I liked them but I did feel like they added some wind noise because of the change in the seal between the window and the gasket. So, I was trying to go the stick in route. I’ve hand the OEM sticking type in my wife’s Honda CRV when we had it and they worked fine. Once I get the replacements that are actually from the Ford Dealership I will see what I think. If I still don’t like them I will probably go with an in channel type.

I have had WeatherTech in-channel window vents for over 20 years, in various vehicles.
Their quality has always been top notch and and I like the In-Channel design versus the tape on style. Especially, going through a car wash. I have never had one come off.
Before our trip to the Grand Canyon on the 4th of July. I called WeatherTech to see when they were going to start selling vents for the Maverick. The sales person told me they were 6-8 weeks out.
I ended up ordering EGR in-chan. window vents in time for the trip.
With EGR you get ALL 4 doors for $80 w/tax and Free Shipping.
In my opinion they're the same quality as WeatherTech and they fit great.
You cannot go wrong with either brand.
Good luck.

I was concerned about the wind noise as well but I think it is actually less now because the window seals tighter. just wished i had them for the rear windows but they will come soon enough.

These are the EGR in channel; no issues

another vote for the EGR in channel.......love mine..........................

The EGR’s are solid rather than smoke right? I want to be able to see through mine.

I'd be a little suspicious of Ford having an eBay site. Seems a bit odd that Ford would need to use eBay. Could be someone just called themselves a Ford site?

No
Have you gone to their website????
You have a choice.
