I just bought some weathertech window vent cover things, and also the bug shield.

I got dark color for both. It was 2 bills for everything. It shipped fast, only a few days and it was here.

Everything installed just like the instructions said. I used a bead of silicone (thx redfins for the sealant tip!) on the bug shield edge, 6 screw holes, and when it was mounted I put a bead between the body and the shield too

Now the bad part -
The front window vents edge sheared off on the back edge as I was snapping it into place. It snapped/broke almost exactly the same on both sides, within an 1/8 or less, the broken pieces are almost identical, almost like it was engineered to snap off...

But I don't think they were supposed to break...it wasn't an even break...

anyways - after visual inspection - I decided the breaks were not visible from any angle, so I kept them installed. I haven't notified weathertech yet, that's my next thing to do.

If you buy some window vents and they don't want to go in on the last bit, you may take them back off the car and shave about 1/8 off the trailing edge, then try again.

once on - they look pretty slammin

Weird, I have had mine in and out a few times and no breaks.
Also if that little wing doesn't match up with your dimple I can show you how to line them up.

 

I must have installed my Weathertech vents the same day as you did. I didnt have any breakage of my vents.

They are not as easy to install as the video they have on their website. I do like them. Rolling down all the windows an inch or so in the morning leaves a nice quiet breeze in at 45-50 MPH.

The Weathertech product is very good quality. I purchased the dark model, they look pretty good with the shadow mica paint. Sorry to hear yours broke.

 

Frank,

How did you line up the little wing things with the dimples?

Thanks.

the "wing things" can be moved. just be very careful.

 

That tab on the window frame can be moved.
Pull down the rubber window gasket.
Remove the thin blue tape that holds tab in place.
Line up tap to correct location and re-tape.
Install rubber window gasket.

You guys know about E-SAM's visors right?
For two bills you could have had E-SAM's.

 

I never tried to remove that tab, but can it be removed at all? I just think it looks smoother without it.

 

i broke 3 rain guard on passager side of mine and they sliced up the molding bad first time and got them fix at dealer.first pair broke when i took of the vinyl around windows so got new pair they broke same side thengot third pair broke def something wrong if i say so think they just making the stuff cheap now i had one's in my old car for years to.oh iam still waiting to get dealer to fix the second set of molding that got sliced up damn dealer.

 

the vent things were 100 and the bug shield was 100,,, 2 bills.

The weathertech people called me only a couple of hours after I had emailed them and have offered a free replacement set.

They totally rock. Go weathertech FTW.
