Visibility with rear window louvers?

[Matticus91]

Hey all, I've always liked the look of the louvers just wondering on how the visibility is with them installed?

I found some pics on google and such but i figured i'd ask since it's hard to get an idea of the angle.

Also how difficult are they to install?

Thanks

Has not affected my visibility at all I did the ABS rear window louvers. I installed mine the night before going to Mustang Week a few years back Only issue I had since my rear window is tinted was marking where to put the brackets as they recommended for the intructions. Ended up eyeing it with louver before attaching completely. I recommend attaching brackets, sealing with clear silicone adhesive around the brackets to keep the moisture from getting to the tape, and let it set for 24 hours before putting the louver on and enjoy. Had mine for almost 3 years now and no problems here. Still as in-tact as the day I installed them

Awesome thanks! Is it auto-wash safe? i usually wash my car by hand but sometimes i just dont have the time or want to get a good undercarriage wash.

Thanks for bringing this up Matt, and thanks for the answer too. I've always wondered this but never got around to asking the question.

I am picky so I only use the auto washes that are touchless and I have had no issues (rattling is creepy from louvers when the dryer goes on, lol)

Touchless? Do they just use spray? I never heard of one of those lol. So they don't have the big spinning "bushes" and those big hanging curtain things?

nope-I hate those brush ones. I get concerned about what may be on them (and do not want to see swirls on black). The touchless ones clean the undercarriage as well and use a high pressure wash which sprays from either side of the car as you roll through, it is really cool. We have them around me. You could try to search touchless car wash to see if there are any in your area

Will do thanks a ton! I just had a new wash open up right down the street to, wish it was touchless now lol.

Here are some pictures to help. I love mine, wish they had been built into the car since my MRT ones rattle. I want the saleen version but not spending close to a grand for it.
