    Wow. What a night. First no mpg display on a Tacoma, rendering mpg calculation impossible, now those useless vendors will NOT send out a vent guard today to arrive today.

    How can we go on in a world like this?

    Which begs the question.... If it's a blizzard outside why the hell would you want your windows rolled down in the first place?

    I wish I had your problems....

    Read my sobriety thread then you will know what real problems are just to put it in some perspective.

    I know I am reviving an old thread but I figured it was more appropriate than starting a new one for my question….

    I installed a set of WeatherTech Front & Rear Deflectors back in November 2010 and two days ago the rear passenger deflector fell out of the window while it was down. Fortunately this happened while parked at a local BBQ.

    I need to replace the 2 sided tape but what type of tape do you folks recommend? This 3M/Scotch stuff will hold up to 5 pounds but it looks much thicker than the tape originally provided by WeatherTech which is very thin. The WeatherTech tape is about 1/4" wide and the 3M tape is 1" wide. I thought I would ask here before driving around town looking for narrow 2 sided tape.

    What is this rain you speak of? Are you talking about actual drops of water falling from the sky? I want some of that...

    I just installed a set of WeatherTech in channels in my double cab a couple weeks ago. (Ordered on Amazon and received in about 3 days with free shipping.) Not sure if WeatherTech changed them or not, but I don't see how they could possibly fall out of any window or why you would need to tape with them. I had to bend mine so much to get them in the window channels, it seems impossible that they could just fall out.

    On another note; I went back and forth between AVS, EGR, and WeatherTech. Ended up with the WeatherTech and have 0 complaints, wish I would have gotten them sooner. Another thing I like is that they seem to make the air flow in the cab quieter when the windows are down.

    I love mine too. It is the rear window deflector that fell out, those rely on tape to keep them in place.

    I found this 1/4" wide tape after my last post. I will try the local auto part stores before getting it on Amazon.
