Weather tech side window deflectors

Anyone have these on their truck? I just ordered a set. Looking for feedback and any install tips.

Any pics on a white truck?

Thanks

I have them on my magnetic truck and do not have pictures at this time. If you take your time and follow the directions the install goes pretty easy, the only issue I have had is sometimes when rolling the windows up they encounter a little resistance and will roll back down. I usually just roll them up almost all the way and then finish going up slowly when that happens.

Had them on last 3 trucks. 18 has an issue same as above. Sometimes it’ll roll back down on auto...
Gotta look into why...

In channel are horrid, if they don't properly set you will never get your window up without pulling on it so the window can fully raise. External is the way to go.

As the others have stated, install is easy. You may need to leave the windows rolled up for a few days in the sun to let the rubber expand enough to not activate auto down.

I have the WT in channel and am very satisfied. Leave them in the sun/heat after install and you shouldn't have a problem. Mine have been in over one year and they are flawless. I've had the external tape on style and would never go that route ever again.

Have them on 4Rnr for 4 years. Still problem with window auto rolling down. Same on Tundra.
Went to AVS, better performance, no issues with window roll ups.
Also, fitment on the old 2003 PS and F-150 we had, the length had to be trimmed off to fit snug w/o bowing out.
