Is there a general consensus of which rain guards are best fit for 2025 st?
Do avs fit without any closing issues? Had weather guard on my 2017 limited

I bought the low profile guards direct from Ford for my 25. They fit great and follow the window line perfectly. They are held on by double stick tape and attach to the window trim directly. I have had them on for about 14 months. They have been through multiple car washes and a Chicago winter without issues.

I have AVS on mine with no issue. I quit going with the in-channel design a while ago because of the window interference issue when it gets hot and they slightly warp.

I live in Texas and I've never heard of this warp issue, or interference with Weathertech in-channel design.The window trim eventually settles, and the windows operate as intended. It's all in the instructions.

I've had more than 1-pair of AVS in-channel design's where they will bow in high heat and interfere with the window going up. Never had it happen unless it was pretty hot. Never when cool or cold. Its a known issue with in channel guards.
