Not as expected, update: lots of work required
I was hoping for the In channel set-up. I know the adhesive is terrible, I bought it otherwise. I can easily add a better adhesive. The true problem is the form itself. It is thin plastic that bends and warps as you set it into place. That's fine, not the issue. There is no amount of filling you can do to allow the windows to roll up without binding with the vent shade. I've seen others remove some to allow clearance. This cannot be done with these. It is as if the put them in upside down.Update: Be willing to spend a couple hours to get these to work. When finished, two fit perfectly, 2 had inward bends. Not overly noticable. All 4 windows go up and down without hanging up on the shades.To get these to work: first, remove the useless two sided tape. Order 1/2 inch two sided tape.-next trim to width. I took off probably a 1/32 off both ends to prevent buckling. File all manipulated edges for a smooth clean finish.-the part the goes under the weather stripping needs the most work. This is where the window binds on all pieces. You need to trim 3 inches on all pieces. Trim off the bottom lip from a lip to nothing. The two back pieces will fit find once this is done.-the front two needs an extra cut. Because it jams the edge, I put a small arc in both ends to be sure the window hits farther up the shade to deflect under the shade.- now all pieces should fit. Add the new tape to all sides. Especially the side they did not add it to.- lastly, when putting each piece in, be sure to tuck the vent tightly under the weather strip side first. Up and in as tight as possible. Then do the other side.- raise the window. Now the tape should grab everywhere tightly. After 10 seconds, do a gentle up and down to be sure nothing binds. If so, remove quickly. Do don't want it locked. It's difficult to trim while it's on the window.I hope this helps others..

Window shades have warpped!
I ordered these window shades back in March and I noticed a slight bent on them but did not think anything of it. Just thought it was the wind pressure from the highway driving which I do every week day. Three of the four shades are now very visibly warpped. When I installed them I read the instructions thoroughly and even went on-line to review their video instructions so these were installed properly and I even waited a full week as opposed to 72hrs before opening windows. I am really disappointed with them. Not sure if the heat from the sun has anything to do with it but this should not happen. I even stuck AVS being that my previous vehicle had AVS equipment and there was no issue. I have reached out to the company a few days ago via email for some help and hopefully will get a response soon.

They either warp or fall out lol
After going through the proper install procedures of cleaning the channel rubber with the supplied alcohol pads and roughing up the rubber inside the channel with the supplied scouring sponge, the adhesive on my rear passenger vent shade gave up after a couple days, so i took off the rear driver's side as well. They all seem to warp somewhat once installed as well. They are mounted to full depth, but the grade of plastic appears to expand a bit in the heat of the sun and so they warp making them look trashy and unprofessional. I'll keep the fronts on for now until I can find a better brand who has these for a Ram 1500 Rebel. Maybe if I get ambitious I could RTV silicone the rears back in, but who wants to do that on a new truck amirite?

Easy installation
I got all worked up with the reviews i read on here about how hard they were to install , took me about 20 minutes with cleaning and opening packages , never had to trim anything, maybe i got lucky , but also maybe some of these people are not very mechanically inclined , maybe they are ??

As others have said, you will likely need to modify one or more of the pieces to get them to fit properly. I had to trim off about an eighth of an inch on the passenger side front (all along the top edge that goes into the channel) in order to close the window properly. Once you figure out what you need to do they work well. But why should you have to modify this product??? For that reason I can not recommend this product. Price is right but fitment is not.
