I have weather tech wind delectors up front. I live the look and utility. They've been on my car since May.

While driving around town today I heard a popping noise when adjusting my window. I didn't notice it was the deflector falling off until my next stop.

Anyone else have this problem? Hard to believe they were fine for 6months then one day just pop off...

In channel or 3m adhesive all weather tape to hold them in?

In channel. I liked the clean look.

Amazon. Seller still lists the item.

Is it broken or can it be refitted? If it's broke I'd contact them and see what they say.

It's gone. Fell off while driving on a busy street. I turned around for it but it was unsafe to stop (no sidewalk or shoulder)

Call up Weather Tech. They sent me a rear drivers side replacement when mine fell out.

Do you have any pics of your car with them in? Been considering it but don't know anyone with these on their FiST.

One option, in the meanwhile, could be to paint those black. If you like black it almost makes it look aftermarket, hehe.

I painted mine before I bought my rims. If for anything but to at least eliminate the brake dust issue. If you use paintdip it's easily removable later and fairly inexpensive.

Definitely considered painting but my apartment complex is super strict about any type of car work since a previous tenant was parting out junkers in their carport. I can't even change my own oil there.

I'm definitely going for weight savings with my next wheelset.

Haha thanks.

That should look really awesome. Powder coats are definitely the way to go for rims.

I'm saving up for 16" slipstreams so I can be a weight-weeny lol. Having fun killing my tires in the meantime though.
