recently purchased a 2008 escape xlt v6,looking for info on some quality vent shades(the ford ones fit poorly-supposed to be for the 2008 model year)preferably the in channel style.also,has anyone had any problems with noise from front windows when cycled either up or down?long time ford fan/customer-i and my wife do really love this vehicle(almost as much as our traded in 98 explorer)but since it is our first new vehicle,we have very high expectations.HELP!!thanks,steve.

 

I bought a 2008 XLS w/ manual transmission about two weeks ago. It was a dealer trade & it came with Ford vent shades and a bug deflector. The vent shades are the "peel & stick" kind. They look & fit okay but I woundn't have purchased them if they hadn't already been installed. I did hear a bit of wind noise on the front (driver) window when driving into a headwind (window closed).

 

THE VENT SHADES YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, ARE MADE BY A COMPANY CALLED EGR .NOT SURE WHO SELLS THEM BY YOU. THEY ARE A IN THE TRACK MOUNT
