Fitment Notes

• Fits all 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe models produced from 2007 through 2012 across all three trim levels
• All trim levels (GLS, SE, Limited) were available in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations throughout the full model run
• For 2007-2009, the GLS used a 2.7L V6 paired with either a 5-speed manual (FWD only) or a 4-speed automatic; the SE and Limited used the larger 3.3L V6 with a 5-speed automatic
• For 2010, Hyundai replaced both V6 engines: the 2.7L was replaced by a 2.4L I4, and the 3.3L V6 was replaced by a more powerful 3.5L V6; both were mated to new 6-speed transmissions
• The 6-speed manual transmission was offered on the 2010-2012 GLS with the 2.4L I4 in FWD configuration only; all other 2010-2012 powertrain combinations use the 6-speed automatic
• The optional third-row seat (Touring Package) was available on SE and Limited trims for 2007-2009 and was discontinued for the US market beginning with the 2010 model year
• The 2010 model year received a mid-cycle exterior refresh (new front and rear fascia, revised grille, updated fog lights, taillights, and bodyside moldings) - window channel dimensions are unchanged and fitment is unaffected
• This part does NOT fit the 3rd generation Santa Fe (sold as the Santa Fe Sport in the US, beginning 2013) or the 3rd generation long-wheelbase Santa Fe (also 2013+), both of which use a completely new platform with different door and window channel geometry
• After installation, windows must remain in the up position for a minimum of 72 hours at temperatures of 50°F or above to allow the adhesive to fully cure

Features

• In-channel mounting design installs flush inside the window frame for a factory-integrated, low-profile appearance with no exterior tape touching the painted body
• Keeps rain, sleet, wind, and road debris out of the interior while allowing windows to remain cracked for continuous fresh air circulation
• Reduces interior heat buildup when parked with windows cracked, keeping the cabin cooler without running the A/C
• Minimizes interior wind noise and mirror fogging at highway speeds for a quieter, more comfortable ride
• Eliminates stale odors from pets, smoke, food, and athletic gear through passive airflow while driving or parked
• Constructed from high-grade, impact-modified acrylic - strong, flexible, scratch resistant, and car-wash safe
• UV-resistant dark smoke finish retains its color and will not fade, yellow, or discolor from prolonged sun exposure
• No drilling, no exterior tape on painted surfaces, and no special hardware required - secures with pre-applied 3M automotive-grade adhesive inside the window channel
• Greater side-mirror visibility than clip-on or outside-mount style deflectors - no obstructing "leg" in the mirror sightline
• Backed by AVS's Limited Lifetime Warranty and made in the USA with global materials

Product Description

The AVS 194253 In-Channel Ventvisor is a precision-engineered, 4-piece side window deflector set designed exclusively for the 2nd generation Hyundai Santa Fe (2007-2012). Custom molded to match the exact window channel geometry of this generation's 4-door crossover body, these ventvisors install flush inside the door frame with no tape contacting the vehicle's painted exterior and no drilling required. The result is a factory-integrated, aerodynamic appearance that blends seamlessly into the Santa Fe's clean crossover styling - across all three trim levels (GLS, SE, and Limited) and all powertrain configurations - while delivering practical all-weather protection on every drive.

Each deflector is built from thick, impact-modified acrylic that holds its shape through temperature extremes and years of daily use. The dark smoke tint is UV-stabilized to resist fading, yellowing, and discoloration over time, and the surface is scratch resistant and car-wash safe. Installation is entirely tool-free: each piece slides into the window channel and bonds to the rubber seal using the factory-applied 3M automotive-grade adhesive, keeping all exterior painted surfaces tape-free. Windows should remain in the up position for a minimum of 72 hours at 50°F or warmer after installation for a firm, long-lasting hold.

The AVS 194253 covers the complete 2nd generation Santa Fe production run from 2007 through 2012, spanning the original launch engines (2.7L and 3.3L V6) and the significantly updated 2010 mid-cycle refresh engines (2.4L I4 and 3.5L V6), as well as all FWD and AWD configurations. The 2010 exterior styling changes - revised fascias, grille, and taillights - have no effect on the window channel dimensions, so this single part number fits seamlessly across all six model years. Note that this part does not fit the 3rd generation Santa Fe (Santa Fe Sport or long-wheelbase Santa Fe, both from 2013 onward), which was redesigned on an entirely new platform. Backed by AVS's Limited Lifetime Warranty, the 194253 is the definitive in-channel ventvisor solution for 2nd generation Santa Fe owners across every trim and configuration.
