Today if it’s raining and getting too stuffy inside a vehicle, the average motorist can just switch on the A/C, but that wasn’t an option for drivers in 1935. Back then the only solution was to get some fresh air inside the vehicle from outside and that meant getting wet. To address this problem AVS created the original Ventshade. It mounted above the car window so the window could be cracked open a bit to allow airflow without letting the rain in. It was also found that Ventshades provided additional shielding from the sun’s rays and also kept interiors cooler during the hot summer months by allowing the windows to be cracked open when parked in the sun. The trapped heat was able to escape without potential thieves knowing that the windows were slightly down.

The materials they’re made from and method of installation may have changed, but today’s Ventshades are still as effective as their forebears. Modern Ventshades are constructed from tough, corrosion resistant stainless steel, so you’ll get many years of reliable service, and they’re available in your choice of black or natural stainless steel. Installation is quick and easy with 3M acrylic foam tape or the included fasteners. 3M tape is so effective it’s used by the automobile manufacturers to attach trim parts at the factory. The foam core allows the tape to expand and contract with temperature changes and conform to surface irregularities.

You can run your car or truck through the car wash with Ventshades installed; however automatic “brush-style” car washes should be avoided. They come with everything required for installation, including detailed instructions, and they’re covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty applies to the original purchaser as long as he or she owns the vehicle on which the product is installed.
