weather tech worries

[Joe Isuzu]

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.

Been in the window channels for six years now....no issues.

well i took them out, but what should i do? my driver's side kinks forward and misaligns with the top now a bit cuz of the deflector, but should i just keep the deflector in with the windows up for a few days? what needs to be done?

That's wierd. I noticed no ill effects with mine from day one. And the little nubs always lined up perfectly. It just makes me wonder a little, are you guys sure you are putting them in correctly? I mean, IIRC there is only one way they would go in anyhow, but???

I understand what you're saying Bart, but I R&I'd mine when I realized that the driver's side fit fine and the passenger side nub was off a little. I did not want to fool with sending them back to the weathertech and taking the chance of having the same problem when the replacement set came in. I did the install correct as far as I can tell. There's very little play so you can't really adjust them once they're in.

Well im still new to the vx, and the only thing i've taken apart is the dash to put my new headunit in. I looked at the instructions for taking the door off and it seems extensive. So I have not lubed the channels. The window will kink forward a bit then push back into place when its closing at the top. As far as I know I did install them correctly, looks like there's only way way to anyway. thoughts?

with respect to lubing the channels, I don't bother R&I'ing the trim panel, I simply spray in between the glass and the run channel both fore and aft of the front windows (when the windows are down obviously)
worked for me so far

Maybe we can do a trade.. I'll take your door apart if you show me how to take my radio out and install a new one..

Look for SBC's window fix thread, order his kit, install it.

Also, have you lubed your window channels???
