Default Rear Window Louvers Installed

Finally got around to installing my rear window louvers this past weekend. They are the aluminum ones, Vista brand, identical to the MRT brand.Install of the pads took an hour or so, hung the louvers on the next day. No visibility issues & no rattles. I like
They are a bit tall, but I like them alot better than the plastic ones out there.

They're not too tall, they look nice. Think the aluminum will last a lot longer too.

I have the CDC louvers which are almost identical. They do look a bit tall at first, but you'll like them much better than the smaller plastic ones. They're almost invisible from inside which is nice.
Do those hinge up like the CDC ones? It makes it much easier to clean the window.

Here's a link to the MRT ones, same as mine, also same as what CDC sold. I believe they all got them from a company called Vista.
Louvers - MRT Direct
Thanks for the comments.
And these also hinge @ the top to clean the window.

That does look nice !!!

It goes along great with the C-stripe on the side and the blacked out rear panel.


Two Big Thumbs UP !!!

Yeah.. mine have been sitting in the box for MONTHS.

They were on the car for all of maybe one week until the rattling drove me insane.

I loved the look of them, but the damn weld between the bottom two or three fins and the two middle verticle running slats is broken so they rattle like the ghost of christmas past clammoring around in my attic.
