wade and weather techs are both in channels...

both are about the same in design and quaility....
weather techs are about $30-$40 more, but the warrenty behind it is second to none.

i recomend either wades or weathertechs

like they posted before...
check ebay for wades

i got wades... for the most part they fit... but both fronts (d&p) the angled edge just before the vertical part near mirrors keep backing out and exposing the tape that came on it... gives ugly grey line .... any1 else have similar issues??

thinkin i'm gonna pull the fronts... peal the tape off... put new tape on the uper edge and leave the currently offending parts w/o tape.... that way if they decide to back out a bit, you wont really be able to tell

make sure the channel's are nice and clean first!!!!

I had to scrap my Weathertechs. They popped out the lower inside seal and pinched the lower exterior seal. There was just no way to get the trailing edge of the deflector to sit over the edge of the outer seal without collapsing it.

Sounds like the Wades are the best price and quality.

Wades for me, then. Next question, clear or tinted? (My front windows are not tinted.)

bB2NER

OOOO didn't know they came in clear. You could color match them to your toaster.

x-ray_Bravo

What does that involve?

bB2NER

If they are clear, you paint them on the inside so they match your exterior paint. IE; TCM in your case.

How many bottles of touch-up paint will that take?

hotbox05

never saw wades in anything but tinted.

don't use touch up paint go get some color match aerosol cans made.

x-ray_Bravo

Can I do that at an auto parts store, or do I need to try a body shop? Also, will it block any of my vision?

bB2NER

It shouldn't block any more vision than the dark tinted ones do.

go to a paint supply store. normal price ranges from 10.00 a can to 25.00 a can. i get color match paint in can form for 15.99-17.99 at a great place here in sac.

x-ray_Bravo

I'll try that. Thanks for all the info.

I bought an '05 TCM xB that came with WeatherTech side window deflectors.

I can't decide whether to leave them on or take them off.

Do they offer any benefits besides "looks"?

Thanks.

yes they allow for a cracked window without all the noise also if its raining you can oen the window a bit and not get wet. thus allowing you to better control the air inside your car without the ac being on. i have a set of ventshades on my blazer and love them i just cant decide stick on vs channel for my toaster

bB2NER

Go for the in-channel ones. The stick on ones look cheezy plus they sometimes come loose and need to be re attatched.
