Auto Ventshade

Does anyone have a picture of 97+ black XJ with Auto Ventshades installed?

Black, no.......I do have a Moss Green one however!

I still have them and they come in handy when it's hot, weather is bad, or both (like driving in the rain). I have found them to be a pain when driving though, I sometimes have to duck down a bit to see around them and they can block my view of an up coming corner since the A pillars are "thicker" with them. They don't seem to cause those blind spots on the 2001 Ford F150 Dad has for a company truck, but are very noticeable on an XJ.

Great looking xj! You're making me rethinking getting a set now with them getting in the way.

I never noticed mine being in the way, Its not really that much of a difference.

Lol, That's an oooolllld pic Scott, it's now on 235/75/15 Goodyear's (those were 225/70/15 Toyo's in the picture) and covered in grime and road salt

some of it could be driver's height and if you have manual or power seats. If you happen to see one that has them installed, might ask if they'll let you get in and have a look out of it with them installed to see if they work well for you. I'm a fat guy who's right around 5'11"-6' and this truck has a power driver seat (that isn't working, been thinking about trying to convert to manual) too.

I had them on my previous XJ. Never really cared for them, but didn't hate them enough to take them off. If it's cold out a slight knock with a branch will shatter them.

One thing I really disliked, was how they blocked my hand rest location. When it's hot out, I always have my arm out the window. Elbow resting on the window sill, and fingers resting in the rain gutter. With these, I couldn't do that.

Both Dad and I had that problem, I accidentally cracked the passenger side, but nothing too serious fortunately and it's still there, the passenger side on F150 is completely gone though.
