    weather tech worries

    ok so i bought the weather tech window shades and installed them. the only bad thing i noticed is at the top of the window, the window actually makes contact with the shade and kind of rubs against it at the very top. is this normal? I just want to make sure so it doesnt cause a problem with the window motors/regulators cuz it makes the window move slightly at the top as well. Any thoughts? if it's installed wrong... I want to know asap so I can correct the problem. I followed the instructions and put them in and they fit nice. any thoughts??

    yes, I was a little disappointed with mine as well b/c the little cutout on the passenger side didn't line up all that great with that hard plastic on the weatherstripping (top part of window opening). It was good, but for all the bragging they do about their products being custom made for vehicles, I was surprised. All in all, it wasn't worth returning for that.

    well i talked to etlesport, eric, and he told me to leave my windows up for about 2 days, and that the problem would go away. im assuming that something gets stretched out or "molded" so that i wont have that issue. Has anyone tried this? also, there's a green vehicross in my area, peoria/glendale arizona, does anyone know who he is? i saw him going southbound on the 101 today. thanks guys for all your help so far

    I will tell you I had much more of an issue with the wind deflectors when I first got them as it was in winter. My passenger side window barely went up at all, so I know there was a lot of pressure the deflector was putting on it. However, things have gotten better since then.
