Weathertech side window deflectors
I have a 2022 F350 CCLB scheduled to be built 1/26/22.I received a Weathertech gift card for Christmas and thought I would use it for a set of side window deflectors. Looking for any feedback- positive or negative on the Weathertech branded deflectors. Thanks, fool

I had them for both front and rear windows on my 2017 F-350 and I liked them. Them were a little tough to install at first (thought I would break them) and it took about a week for the windows to stop going back down when I rolled them up. The windows sense the resistance and will come back down when they are new but heat/ hot weather seems to help them adjust. I found that it helped to roll them up a little at a time when they are near the top to stop it from happening.

The AVS low profile will be going on mine in the spring. It’s too cold to put them on now as my truck doesn’t get garaged.
Having had both types (in channel and outside adhesive) I much prefer the adhesive ones that mount on the outside of the window channel molding.

I have them on my Jeep Wrangler and have had them on my Superduty for several months now and love them. I didn’t have any trouble installing them, just watch the videos on it first.

Yes a bit difficult to install unless vehicle and weathertech are above 75 degrees. Put a set on my 2011 within days of ownership and ran for 5 years 100k miles. Ditto on my 2015 for 6.5 years and 97k miles. Zero issues. Great shade and really cuts down on rain coming in when you need to roll window down for gate access etc. Will do the same when my 22 arrives in March.

But the in channel are still made and sold every day. Someone is having success with them. I just wasn't one of those people.

Just one guy's personal experience. I could never get in channel deflectors to work with the smart windows. So I've stayed with stick on. I have a carwash subscription and have never lost a vent shade or bug shield.

I don't have a picture at the moment. Truck is inside and lighting not the best. If I move it out later I'll get a shot. I've always attached to the paint. They've never come off and never been a problem.
