    The rear ones (IIRC)had a really really thin piece on them. These things are awesome.

    Do you have a front and rears? Reason why I'm asking is that I ordered a full set, however the rear does not seem like it fits perfect, as it doesn't perfectly fit the contour of the channel. Wondering if I just got a bad batch or that's the way it is (cross referenced part numbers on WT's website and it states I have the correct set).

    Anyone with WT's...

    I like the bulkier appearance of the regular ones. Maybe it's just because I have a black truck, and they blend in really well. Might look different on another color.

    I don't know if it's because I ordered them through Amazon, but all they said they could do is refer me to the online instructions and video. They also referred to me authorized installers but that'll be useless IMO. I had WT's before on previous vehicles and I never had a single problem. Website states that it's good for the '14's, though I'm not sure if they're different from previous models.

    I'm running the EGR's in-channel on my truck too. Only minor complaints is when it is cold and I crack the windows, the fronts rattle a little. Might do as others have mentioned in this thread and pull them out and put a small bit of double sided tape on them. No fit issues with mine.

    I have the EGR in-channel window deflectors. I love them. Great fit and never aproblem with them. I got them from autoanything.com shipped for less than $50 if I remember correctly. I used a discount code from TW when ordering them.

    I have the in channel Weathertecs.

    2 years and they still work great. And fit like a glove.

    I think they look better than the stickons.

    The only thing I do not like is after on a dirt road and you roll up or down the window. You get a nice crunch/scratch sound. And I am getting small scratches from them on the edges of the windows.



    AiNoFaKNKeA not to harp on you but it kind of looks like you did the install wrong? Maybe did not clean the channel before installing? Did the install in really cold/hot weather? Did not leave windows rolled up for a few days? But it looks like if it was all the way up it might be just fine? Maybe find some of that double side thin tape and try again?
