Weathertech Side Window Deflectors!

Well the "UPS Fairy" droped these off yesterday. So I decided to put them in today.




I like 'em what do you guys think.

+1... I got a set of these too. Super easy to install & I think they look way cleaner than the OEM style. They're less bulky & dont draw yur attention right to them by covering the chrome window trim..

Does WT use a strip of 3M adhesive like AVS? Or are they just sandwiched into the window channel?

theres a little bit a tape for the rear set, but it's not 3m, it's pretty lame. They're basically just jammed into the window channel. Def solid though, just installed mine last weekend

Hmmm well ok. So how do they hold up at 70mph with the windows slightly or completely down? Basically, nothing holding the visors in place. Has anyone seen them drop out of the channel at highway speeds?

It's been 95 here every day since I've installed them, so my windows have been firmly shut. But, I can tell you that they are jammed in there really good and it's the tension from the sides that are really holding them in there. Im not worried about them falling out.

No kidding on the heat. I'm over VA weather and I've been here all my life. I'm ready for the "spring like" weather they are referring to tomorrow. Since when does "spring like" mean 87 degrees?

Are you guys buying directly from Weathertech, or is there somewhere online that has better pricing?

After searching for a while on a bunch of sites, I've concluded that WeatherTech stuff NEVER goes on sale. Ever...Only thing you can do is buy from a site that sells their products that also has free shipping.

^ correct. I just purchased from weathertech. I'm guessing that those other places that sell there shit are not "authorized dealers", i just decided it was safer and less of a hassle to buy from them.

FYI for anyone interested - there's an eBay seller that has the full set for $90 shipped. I bought a set and they arrived before I got my shipping notification email!

Did anyone else have fitment issues? I have a 2011, and my WT visors didn't fit so well. I could not get the 'machined flanges' to sit fully inbetween the door and rubber window gaskets. Meaning, if you look at mine you can still see 1/8" of the machined surface all around. Not a big deal, doesn't look bad, just not sure if I'm missing something.

I had to take the double-sided tape off of the rears because the tape wasn't fully covered after the install, and would just collect dirt.

Also on the fronts, the part closest to the mirrors is not sitting on top of the crome trim, it's sitting on the outside of the trim.

Any ideas?

haha - no, they came in the WT branded boxes with real part numbers, instructions, etc. The seller also has other WT stuff, so I'm pretty sure they're legit.
