Fitment Notes

• Fits the second-generation Hyundai Genesis / Genesis G80 sedan (DH platform) across its full 2014-2018 production run, spanning both Hyundai and Genesis Motor branding periods
• The vehicle was sold as the "Hyundai Genesis" for the 2014-2016 model years; beginning with the 2017 model year the same body and platform was rebranded as the "Genesis G80" when Genesis Motor was established as Hyundai's standalone luxury division - all years are confirmed compatible with this part number
• The 5.0L V8 engine was available for 2014 and 2015 only; it was discontinued after the 2015 model year and not offered on the 2016 Hyundai Genesis or subsequent G80 models
• The 3.3L Twin-Turbo V6 was introduced exclusively for the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport trim and was not available in any prior year; the window channel design is the same as all other DH-platform configurations
• AWD was available on the 3.8L V6 models throughout 2014-2018; the 5.0L V8 was offered in RWD only, and the 2018 3.3T Sport was available in both RWD and AWD
• All supported models use an 8-speed automatic transmission - no manual gearbox was offered on the DH-platform Genesis sedan in the U.S. market
• Does NOT fit the Hyundai Genesis Coupe (BK/BK2 platform) - the Coupe is an entirely separate vehicle with a different body and window channel design
• Does NOT fit the first-generation Hyundai Genesis Sedan (BH platform, 2009-2013), which uses a different body structure
• Does NOT fit the Genesis G80 second generation (RG3 platform, 2021+), which is a fully redesigned vehicle

Features

• In-channel mount design installs seamlessly inside the window channel for a sleek, low-profile appearance with no exterior tape visible on the vehicle body - keeping the Genesis's refined exterior lines completely uninterrupted
• Allows windows to be cracked open in rain, wind, or inclement weather while keeping water, road debris, and insects outside the cabin
• Continuously circulates fresh air through the cabin to eliminate stale odors from pets, smoke, spills, and everyday use
• Constructed from impact-modified, UV-resistant acrylic material that resists scratches, chips, and discoloration from prolonged sun exposure
• Attractive dark smoke finish integrates naturally with the Genesis's sophisticated exterior styling across all trim levels and package configurations without obstructing chrome window moldings
• Car wash safe - the secure in-channel fit prevents deflectors from shifting or detaching during automated and hand washing
• No drilling, cutting, or special hardware required - complete no-drill installation using included 3M automotive-grade adhesive tape
• Custom-engineered to match the exact window channel contours of the 2014-2018 Hyundai Genesis / Genesis G80 sedan for a precision factory-quality fit
• Reduces interior wind noise and sun glare when windows are cracked at highway speeds - especially welcome in a vehicle known for its quiet, refined cabin
• Helps reduce interior cabin heat build-up when parked by allowing ventilation with windows partially open
• Backed by AVS's Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original vehicle owner
• Made in the USA with global materials at AVS's Georgia manufacturing facility

Product Description

The AVS 194618 In-Channel Ventvisor Deflectors are precision-engineered for the second-generation Hyundai Genesis / Genesis G80 sedan (DH platform, 2014-2018), providing a custom-fit ventilation and weather protection solution that respects the refined, premium character of this luxury executive sedan. These deflectors mount directly inside the window channel for a factory-flush look with no exterior tape or hardware visible on the vehicle body - preserving the Genesis's clean, chrome-accented roofline and frameless exterior styling. The dark smoke acrylic finish integrates naturally across all trim configurations, from the base Standard and Signature packages through the flagship 5.0 Ultimate, without detracting from the vehicle's upscale appearance.

Installation requires no drilling or cutting. The deflectors bond securely inside the window channels using the included 3M automotive-grade double-sided adhesive tape. Once installed, they allow all four windows to be cracked in any weather condition - enabling fresh air to flow freely through the quiet, well-insulated cabin while blocking rain, road spray, and insects. This is a meaningful addition for owners who want to enjoy ventilation during the morning commute or while parked in a garage without relying on the climate control. All engine and drivetrain variants (3.8L V6 RWD and AWD, 5.0L V8 RWD, and the 2018 3.3T Sport in both RWD and AWD) share the same DH-platform body and window channel design, making this a universal fit for the entire 2014-2018 production run regardless of powertrain choice.

Buyers should be aware that while the vehicle's marketing name changed from "Hyundai Genesis" (2014-2016) to "Genesis G80" (2017-2018) when Genesis Motor became a standalone luxury brand, the underlying DH platform and body remained unchanged throughout all five model years. However, this part does not fit the Genesis Coupe - a separate, lower sports coupe on a different platform - nor the first-generation Hyundai Genesis Sedan (2009-2013, BH platform), nor the fully redesigned second-generation G80 (2021+, RG3 platform). Built from UV-stable, impact-modified acrylic, these deflectors are designed to maintain their smoke finish and structural integrity for years of daily use. AVS backs this set with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing and material defects, valid for the original retail purchaser on the original vehicle of installation.
