Default Wind Deflector service - Did the dealership do it?

Hi,

1st of all I performed a search and couldn't find anything about this topic.

I just recently got around to bringing my car in for the wind deflector maintenance.

After I got the car back, I couldn't tell if anything was done. Is the laminate kit supposed to be applied to the outside of the deflector or the inside? If I feel around the edges of the glass, I am not feeling an extra layer/ridge that a laminate or window film would leave. Is the laminate kit a spray-on application?

Thanks for helping me solve this mystery.

Inside of the glass. You won't really notice much at all. Not a spray on... kind of a vinyl type of application.

Yea, they can check your VIN# at the dealership and that will tell them if the deflector recall was performed yet or not.
