Weather tech Wind Deflectors.

Finally got around to installing my weather tech Wind Deflectors. Great company! I had my first box stolen in front of my porch, made a quick call to the company and they sent me a replacement. 10/10 service.

Was actually looking at getting these on my black ST as well. They look good. You might have made my mind for me.

That actually looks pretty good.

I find that I open the windows, especially the rear, the wind really buffets. Do these help?

btw, is that a white Fiesta I spy in the bottom left of the pic?

I have not bothered opening the rear windows to check, I'll check today and I will let you know. Yeah that's another Fiesta ST. That's LeonardSkeonards here on the forum.

Agreed Kip. He might have just made up my mind as well. I usually hate these things but they look good on a black FiST

 

[nickstewartroc]

I'm digging the look, wouldn't mind seeing them on a white FiST though...

I love the look when people throw them on STI/WRX but I think that was because I just really like that car or they really suit that car. And I wasn't sure how the black on black would look but it turned out really sharp.

Definitely might be next cosmetic mod...

That's a clean install. Are they in-channel? The factory ones have tape and brackets.

Weathertechs are in-channel. The rears are kinda useless though. The rear edge of the window "opens" too.

 

[FreshST]

Looks good, went on the weathertech site and it looks like they only sell the front pair??

 

[KKaWing]

They have the rears too, that said, they're pretty useless. If you look at an open rear window, there's also a "side gap" when you open the window where water will fly right in. It's purely there to "complete" the look.

 

[haste]

Yep, have had these on my '15 for over a year now. the rears are useless in the rain since opening the window immediately has a gap but, i guess they complete the look...

How well did the rear deflectors stay in place?
I have them on mine but it seems like the double sided tape didn't really hold. I can see they have dropped from where they were when they were first installed.

 

[StayPuft]

I have fronts and rears and imo the fit is not up to Weathertech's usual standard of quality. The tape it comes with is mediocre and the lip on the deflectors doesn't fully seat in the channel. And if they are fully seated then they're not even all the way around. In the end they do what they're supposed to though.

Another drawback is that with the front deflectors you cannot fold in your side mirrors.

Same problems. Back ones didn't fit completely into the channel. Near the rear of the back ones there's a little gap. Can't see it unless you're looking for it, but I saw it obviously while installing. And the front ones kinda just "lay" in the channel. Every time the window goes up they make this sound while the window is going up and rubbing against it. Definitely not as nice as I expected. Never had in-channel ones before but not really feeling how the front ones operate.

How do these compare to the oem ones offered from ford?
