Default Which side vent screen easiest to install?

I want to put screens in the side vents of my 2005 coupe. I've seen posts about one side going in easy and the other just 'waving in the wind'. What's the easiest and best price?

I haven't done it but I don't think any of them are "easy". Racemesh are probably the most popular ones used.

Here are 2 installs of the Racemesh by SteveMC and LMB-C6:

And this "rant" might give you pause but don't take it too seriously.

GM seem to be the easiest but also most expensive. The cheaper ones require silicone which is a PIA.

APSIS.

it installs from the outside.

been on over 2 years, not one problem.... freezing temps and triple digit heat on a black car.

fit and finish is flawless...looks like it came from the factory. paint match is perfect. no gaps in seating.
