I spoke with my contact at Putco about the Element In-Channel Window Visors, Chrome # P480011. She said that if your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado has an aftermarket tint, there is a possibility the in-channel window visor could cause an issue with the tint.
If the tint is built into the window, such as a factory tint, there will be no issue with these window visors.
I also spoke with my contact at WeatherTech about the compatibility of their Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting # WT82184. He informed me that they do not typically have issues with a window tint and their Side Window Air Deflectors, and a window tint is not something they warn customers about when concerned with compatibility. He specified that following the instructions for installation and keeping your windows up for a couple of days will allow the defectors time to make room for themselves inside the window channel. I've attached a review video of the # WT82184 deflectors for you.
