    Do any of the windows squeak or skip when you roll them up?

    The tiny should be on the inside, whereas the visor presses against the outside. If have a hard time believing the weathertechs caused that, but I suppose it could accelerate such an issue...

    Naw, I have just a Reg Cab, I left them in for 4 days and didn't touch the windows so they could "bed in" I guess,

    Also being a 2012 the channels are nice and clean, I do however know they will eventually try and do that hop or make noise, just means they are either dirty from road dust sticking to the channel,

    We used a special grease that Honda makes called Shin-Etsu grease, basically it's a kind of white grease they sell in a tube like tooth paste, any Honda dealer should have it,

    It's the stuff NSX and S2000 owners have to have to lube/clean the rubber molding for their tops and such, otherwise when the chassis flex you hear the tops make some wild noises, for real... man buys a 90K NSX, he wants it quiet, and the other awesome thing is it helps the rubber to not collect so much dust in it. All Honda techs use it to grease sunroof seals also.

    Sorry this was so long, but for real. Shin-Etsu grease is amazing,

    Toyota may have their version of it I just don't know about it yet,

    Hope that helps

    Yah, I installed a USB port in the switch blank next to the audio port and also one in my center console. I didn't use a mount. I just ordered a USB cigarette lighter deal, gutted it, and stuck it in the plastic with some epoxy. SUPER convenient to have!

    I think it's from the debris that will naturally stick thru static electricity to the inside of your run channels,

    I had em on an RSX and with my tint, eventually I got to every weekend I would clean my run channels, an old cresit card wrapped with a micro fiber cloth, window cleaner on the rag and run inside the channel, you'de be amazed at the crap you clean out of em....

    I mean you know these things are snug when your power window "anti pinch" safety feature stops and tried to roll the window back down, :(

    Have you considered bed mat mod ? I felt a little better after doing it even though it's not real secure. I was always thinking I'd come out to my truck and mat would be gone.
