Do these use the metal clips like the other brand does or just 3M? How secure is it on freeway speeds. Is it just stick on or goes inside the channels

J.They are applied on the exterior with just the 3M tape. They tuck in behind trim on side rear view mirrors. I have not had any problems at highway speeds since installing them. I also used a very small bead of clear silicone on the leading edges, to help with wind sheer. They do not go inside the channels, but surface mount. Hope this helps.T. Gore

It just uses a double sticky tape. I've had it on for 2 and a half years, holding fine. Just follow the instructions to a T. Be sure That it is warm enough. Take your time.

No. It does not use metal clips. It is just stick on. I could not even get it installed on the driver's side. It broke. Unfortunately, I waited to long to install it. I can't even return to amazon. Avoid at all costs.

The ventshades are adhered with 3m. They are just stick on the outside of the door rim . I have had them on the last three vehicles. Do great on freeways. They have to be attached to a very clean surface and let them set for a day without any wind strain. would recommend them highly and I will always have them on my car.and each car was sold with the original vents I put on. Never once did I have to re-attach any of them.

I would not buy it. They didn't fit my car even thought the package was labelled for my car. Of course, I opened it to install. They didn't refund my money because I opened the package. A big RIP OFF. Don't buy it. Get it for another source, such as, WeatherTech.

It just sticks on but you wont have any problems if you use alcohol first to rub the area. I take the freeway everyday and NO problems... Really good buy

There are no clips with these. They have adhesive strips on the shade. Small part of visor slips into area by mirror, otherwise its all tape. Took about 5 minutes each to install. Have had them on my car for about 8 months now and have had absolutely no issues at all with them. No leaks and find that the wind noise is actually lower with them than without them, if you have the window partially or completely open.

They use an adhesive strip, but it is inside the channel rather than on the exterior. A small corner of the adhesive cover strip must be exposed prior to installation. Then, clips mounted on each unit allow serve as anchors as well as allowing the unit to be positioned during installation. After you are satisfied with position, the cover strip on the adhesive can be pulled off in place, and the units securely fastened. Installation took only a minute or two for each unit.

Like the other answer....they are awesome. I use to use the ones that stuck to the paint but now only buy inchannel. They do have a little 3m adhesive to hold in the channel but are easily removed if needed. Never had a problem with them. I smoke so it makes it nice when it rains.

well if you mean the clip for the abs/traction cntrl, it's plastic. but I would not worry about that--I would worry about the chinsy wires that they all have no matter which one u buy. I taped mine with electrical tape around the wires and to the base of the clip. it was easy to put on as far as front end stuff can go depending on the car. I think it is as good as the others for a lot less money. good luck!

If you are talking about the splash guard under the 5.7 Hemi. Mine did not have the clips. Used the old ones from the broken splash guard.

I used the clips, but attached them to the microwave back. They seem to work as a spacer out from the wall. The long screws from above hold the microwave up.

Clips are made of very hard metal, very sharp, very strong. And yes they pop off, like all clip suspenders, but not as easily as most. Easy to unlatch them by rubbing into things, but they are very sharp and tend to stay in place until you refasten. They will chew holes in your waistbands. Worst problem is they slip off if the sharp tips aren't aligned closely - and they are very hard to bend into proper alignment, made of some metal "not of earthly origin." Still, they are the best I've found so far, and keep one's freak flag flying. Good luck.

Not sure if this helps you, but I used two of these (with the included L-mounting bracket) to hang my center channel from the ceiling. Once you tighten the clamps holding the rubber mounting balls in place, these are quite sturdy and hold well.

They're stickers, so no need to clip. Just wipe the spokes down before you put them on to make sure the spoke surface is relatively clean. They'll stay exactly where you place them.

They have clips that attach to the outer lip of your steel rim. I encountered a problem where one of the clips was located in the same location as a wheel balance weight. My solution was to remove the hubcap mounting clip in that location. Be aware that these are a tight fit and will require some muscle to instal as you work your way around the wheel one clip at a time.

The cables are made out of a "twisted metal" that as it was explained to me...will cause most saws used for these jobs to simply slip off the cables. I've had my convertor stolen 3 times..on three different trucks. After each theft I got attachments similar to this one with these types of cables and it never happened again. At the very minimum its a huge deterant. Someone roll under neither your car and see this..the either are preparing to stay a while and risk getting catch or just move on to one that has no protection at all. But along with the break away nuts that can be removed..this device will give your convertor a fighting chance of staying put on your car!

i put mine in with clear silicon so they would stick. i didn't like the double sided tape they came with. i wanted them in to stay and not show the black tape. rain is not a problem at all for me or going fast on the highway. you have to hand wash your car. hope this helps :)

Yes! Everything works just as it did without the clips, but they stay on/in your ears without falling out. I got them for when I run and LOVE them! No more fussing with them the entire time.

Theres clips on the back side of the cap. They just get pressed onto the rim. Been working well for my truck so far.

I haven't had any problems with the clips on these. That doesn't answer the question about the traditional metal clips but since I haven't had a problem with them, I haven't looked.

I've heard of people using them with no issues. I personally use the rally harness.

They tell you to. I never have. My opinion is it's fairly secure with the large washers. But the things can happen at freeway speeds against the wind.
