Folks, does anyone have in-channel rain deflectors installed?
I see a bunch here:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jeep+gladiator+window&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
but not sure. I'd LIKE to get weathertech (had them on many other cars) but they don't make them for the Gladiator.

Anyone have any real-life feedback?
The JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator windows are the same. Just look for in-channel deflectors for the 2018-2020 JL Wrangler. I just got a set of out-channel deflectors for the JK Wrangler and they fit my Gladiator. They were $30 on ebay and much less than the 'official' out-channel deflectors for the Gladiator.

So the auto vent shades appear to be in-channel, but use adhesive tape to secure them in the window.
@prw04, do the Wade vents have that or are they just pressure-fit. When I had all my weathertech's, they are all pressure fit and NO adhesive tape, which I prefer.

Both the front and rear of a Wade have 3m pieces as well. The tears on my JK’s from weather tech had this as well.

So, I bought the WADE auto vent shades, but I went with the AVS Aeroskin II Textured Black Flush Mount Hood Protector So BOTH companies got my $$
Thanks for all the help folks!

Real life feedback on the Gladiator, no.
But I have used this company on my last 5 vehicles.

https://www.autoventshade.com/side-...vs-194811-ventvisor-in-channel-deflector-4-pc
I ordered this part number from TDOT Performance here in Canada and the front visors were the wrong shape and would not fit my 21 Gladiator. Contacted the dealer and they sent replacement but, guess what, still the same shape. The AVS packaging was intact and labelled as 194811 Jeep Wrangler JLU and Gladiator JT but there was absolutely no way to fit. Got refunded and will avoid AVS in future!

I've had these for my 2015 JKU and now for 2020 JT they are rear only and I always leave the rears up when I have these in. They are great for Florida summer heat, and if you have your front windows down you don't get that buffering. I have never had water come in even during crazy storms. They do increase cabin noise a little but not really an issue. https://www.seriesdefender.com/rear-window-vents-jeep-jl.html
