    Best side window visor/shade?

    Need to get some sun visors on my side windows, so I can leave the windows cracked a couple of inches to let heat out when parked. What do you guys recommend? - Outside mounted (stick on), or inside the window channel? - best brand(s) and value? - Does yours make a lot of wind noise at speed?
