i went to check out why it gets stuck, that one corner doesnt stick so it gets in the way of the glass. then i was testing all the windows and rolling up the front passenger side window and it cracked piece of the rain guard off if it keeps giving me problems i will just take them off and get the jdm ones.

I had the same problem with in-channels.
Corrected it by snipping a triangle out of the area where the window hit.
I also added double sided tape to the section where it was not provided.

Plus, I put WalMart door guard over the edge of the vent visors - just to give them a cleaner look. I'm happy now. But was very disappointed in the original quality.
The guard added about $1.50 to the price of each piece. And I bought a roll of the tape from my employer through my 'advertising fund' - handy stuff to have around anyway.

you might have not installed them correctly. Once they are installed you are supposed to roll your windows up and leave them that way for 3 days. In the begining they hit a little but after a while the break in.

I did that - 3 full days - warm temps too.
Neither of the rears would go up past the visors until I did the mods - now they work fine.
And the trim work makes them look less like the junk they are.
But, they're good enough for the women I run with

on the instructions it said to leave up for 24 hours, well i will try to do the mods at work when i have time. i think it really just needs some more double sided tape in the corners where it is hitting. those are the parts that do not stay fluch. thanks for the tips.
