    I had the MacNeil's before changing to the JDM - they worked fine except for when you bend the mirrors inward. The JDM have a cutout for the mirror shape, as the JDM VX had motorized mirrors that would bend inward when the VX was parked (parking is tight in Japan!).

    I also recently purchased the weathertechs and am sad to say I will have to return the passenger side one, there is a little notch for the block (?) on the weatherstipping, the driver's side fits perfect but the passenger side for some reason is offset, obviously in light of the driver's side, it is possible to get a perfect fit so I will need to contact them about a return, thank goodness I saved the shipping box

    i had the same problem.. but purchased from ebay so had to deal.. i just sanded down the edge towards the door jamb a bit and it helped with the fit.. still not perfect but you can hardly tell even if you are looking for it

    John, are you saying your mirrors contacted the MacNeil's when they were folded in?
    I looked at mine today and they didn't even come close to hitting the deflectors when
    all the way in. I just don't want others to think this is a problem with 'em if it's not.

    Mine hit the mirrors and prevented them from being folded all the way in - the mirrors bumped the inside edge. Sounds like yours don't?

    well, it is reassuring that two others have had issues with the weathertech's, that was partly the reason for my post, if others have had issues, it may be pointless for me to deal with the hassle of a return if I'm ending up with the same problem on the replacement one
    btw, mine also don't come close to touching the side view mirrors when folded, my power window on the passenger side is NOTICEABLY slower now with the deflector installed though, I will R&I it a couple more times just to make sure I didn't mess something up, kinda hard to do though as the length of the windblocker is spot on
