rain guards
just installed a wet of weather tech (in channel) window rain deflectors/guards. the rear window deflector came with adhesive strips but not the fronts. installation instructions say to leave windows up for 48 hours...my question about them is what is actually keeping the front deflectors in and seated? ive used the seating tool but dont understand how they can stay in the channel locked in when theres clearance on them

Tension or spring pressure holds the fronts in. They essentially press against the top rear and bottom front of the window frame, whereas the rears only press against the front top and rear top of the frame so they could conceivably slide straight down in the track.

I had a heck of a time with the WeatherGuard vent shades that I tried on my 2011 F150.
They never did set in, and the power windows on both front doors would hit a tight spot and stop, then roll back down like they should as if a head was in the way.
I still have them on Craigslist for sale. I went with the stick on type that I really didn't want. But they stay where they are supposed to be.

Don't really like the idea of no tape for vent-shades myself.
I actually installed a set of AVS yesterday & yes, they use 3M Tape
I have been using AVS brand for many years & on countless vehicles.
What I love about AVS is that I've NEVER had a set where the color faded or fly off
