^^^ What is the function of vent visors? I’ve never had them on any of my vehicles?
I had them on my last truck and they were nice for opening the window a few inches at highway speeds without a lot of the wind noise. They also allow you to crack the window when its raining without allowing water in. That's really about it for my uses.

How do you like the quality of the vent visors? Were they a good fit?
Great fit. I like that they are in-channel. It was raining today, I liked being able to get some fresh air in the JT without having rain get in.

I'll be installing my sliders soon so thanks for the tip of the heat gun to help break them free. Did you use an impact to break them free initially or just to spin it to get it off the plastic fastener?
I used a breaker bar to break them free then a ratchet. Could have used the impact once I broke them free but decided to just do it by hand then once loose I used the impact while pulling down on the washer. Heat it for a long time and they will break free easier but will also take longer before you are able to pull down on the washer. I also cleaned the threads on the bolt and added blue loctite. Also you have to push up using the impact slowly to start the threads. I did tightened a few by hand and a few with the impact. Hope it goes well, let us know and tag me if you remember.
