Fitment Notes

• This part fits the 9th generation Chevrolet Malibu (E2XX platform) sold from 2016 through 2025 - the final generation of the nameplate in North America
• DOES NOT FIT the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. The 2016 "Malibu Limited" was a separate carryover 8th generation model (Epsilon II platform) sold simultaneously with the all-new 2016 Malibu for one final year. It has a different body, different door geometry, and different window channels. For the 2013-2015 Malibu and 2016 Malibu Limited, see AVS part number 194362
• All 9th generation Malibu models across all supported years are front-wheel drive only - no AWD configuration exists on this platform
• The 2019 mid-cycle refresh introduced the RS trim, new front and rear exterior styling, and the CVT replacing the 6-speed automatic on 1.5L Turbo models - window channel geometry is unchanged and fitment is unaffected
• The L trim was discontinued after the 2021 model year; the LT trim replaced the 1LT naming; the Premier trim was renamed 2LT for 2023; the 2.0L Turbo engine was discontinued after 2022
• The Hybrid trim was available through approximately 2019 and used the same door and window channel geometry as all other 9th gen Malibu models
• Chevrolet ended Malibu production in November 2024; the 2025 model year is the last
• 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 drive
• 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 194254 In-Channel Ventvisor is a precision-engineered, 4-piece side window deflector set designed exclusively for the 9th generation Chevrolet Malibu (2016-2025). Custom molded to match the exact window channel geometry of the E2XX platform Malibu's 4-door sedan 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 complements the Malibu's sleek sedan profile across all supported trim levels - from the base LS through the sporty RS and comfortable LT to the top-tier Premier and 2LT - while delivering practical all-weather protection across the Malibu's entire 10-year production run.

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.

Important: This part fits the all-new 9th generation Malibu that debuted for 2016 and does not fit the 2016 Malibu Limited, which was a separate carryover 8th generation model with different door and window channel geometry sold simultaneously for one final year. If you own a 2013-2015 Malibu or a 2016 Malibu Limited, please see AVS part number 194362. The 194254 covers the full 2016-2025 9th gen run in FWD configuration with all powertrain variants including the 1.5L and 2.0L Turbo engines and the Hybrid drivetrain. Backed by AVS's Limited Lifetime Warranty, the 194254 is the definitive in-channel ventvisor for 9th generation Malibu owners seeking an upgrade that fits as if it came from the factory.
