little torn !?!?!? rain guards
What do you guys think about the rain guards that bolt to the cab above the door, does anyone still make these? Or do you think it will not look right? all opinions accepted!

Re: little torn !?!?!? rain guards
Are you talking about the guards that bolt to the door in the window opening? I have a set of stainless ones on my truck, I like the fact I keep the window rolled down partially even when its raining.

I guess it depends on the look of the truck. On a stock or restored truck the look just fine and certainly perform a usefull function. With out them you will get more water in your cab. On a smooth custom truck with a few body mods they tend to break the lines up. squint has a good compromise by having the black ones on a dark color. That gets the job done without standing out so much.... ![]()

Re: little torn !?!?!? rain guards
I had mine off my truck once for some reason, and it was right annoying. My door seals arn't that great anymore, and whenever it rained, it would dribble down onto my arm.

Re: little torn !?!?!? rain guards
So that is what those channels are for. I thought (this might sound stupid) they were for some kind of roof rack option or something. Did not think about it all that much really. Now I know.
