Did you or do you hear any wind noise as a result of the installation? I ask because I just bought Weather Tech. They look great but I do hear some wind. I thought that if I hear it tomorrow I would have it corrected.

Update:

weather tech is not working. My drivers side window has wind noise. Went through two visors and still noise. Going to try URS tomorrow as they are the only other brand that reaches all the way down the window channel. If they don't work I know that my window is just offset from the factory. I hope it's the truck because those weathertech look spectacular.

I noticed some slight wind noise but not enough to bother me.

The wind noise has become so pronounced that I now have to do something. I think my window is off track. It's not sealing properly. I think what happened was when the installer pushed my endow up to get a proper initial seal the window became unbalanced and loose. I suppose I'll need to use warranty support.

So I took my truck to my dealership to find out if there was anything wrong with my driver's side door. Yes, my window was a little loose but it didn't cure the wind noise. The passenger side is a perfect fit but for some odd reason the driver side still has some noise. As soon as I take the guard out the wind noise stops.

I really like the Weather Tech rain guards so I am going to just deal with some wind noise. The dealerdip was very helpful and did not charge me anything after two days of trial and error.

May I assume that you are an out of uniform Marine? If so do you know of any web sites that I can get some USMC window decals?
