Many Auto Parts stores carry double sided trim tape. If you can't find it there try a body shop. Good luck.

The 3-M adhesive tape. For body side moldings and anything else. It's the same tape that came on the deflectors.

Use the 3m tape. That's what my bug shield came with and it's holding strong.

Anyone have in-channel window visors? I got mine and less than a week later, the passanger one kept falling down last Saturday. It goes all the way to the bottom of the window in front and it's suppose to rest on the "outer seal."

I think it was either bumped it or the heat (from sitting in the sun) temporarily shrunk it. Either way, I'm waiting for it to go flying off when I'm at hiway speeds and decide to put the window down.

Thoughts/suggestions/experiences? Thinking about using double sided tape to keep them up, but not sure it will fit back in the groove with the window all the way up.

I've had the WeatherTech Weatherflectors in mine for over a year now. I love them!

BobbyD: Mine are a tight fit in the window track. I'd check it out to make sure that it is seating straight & true. If not, I'd think that, with them only being a week old, WeatherTech or whoever you purchased from would exchange it for you. It could be a bum deflector, as that doesn't sound like anyone else's experience.

I just put the Weathertech Weatherflectors on a couple of days ago and I can't say that I'm extremely happy with them. With the windows shut, I can hear more wind noise with them. Also, opening and closing my window causes a squeaking noise. I believe it the window making contact with the inner lip. I don't believe I have them installed incorrectly.
