It's rather strange that they put a notch in the deflector that doesn't line up with the tab. How did you finally get the window to roll up all the way?

I rolled it up really slowly while applying outward pressure on the window deflector. I also sprayed the channel with silicone to help it along.

I installed the front and did not like the strain it puts on the window motor, i plan on returning them,

They'll loosen up after a few days. The weatherstripping needs to compress.

Has anyone noticed an increase in wind noise? Might be that the windows weren't closing 100% yet, but I noticed an increase in noise after putting them on yesterday.

Yeah I am getting wind noise too. Noticeable after 55mph or more, noise is coming from the visors not air into the cabin, at least for me.

Today I went to the drive thru car wash...the soap and water get stuck under the visor so you have to manually get a cloth and clean that out lol
I am posting a picture but website/tapatalk having issues displaying pictures in case you don’t see it.

Yeah, the water is something you have to deal with when add them....

The noise isn't that bad - especially when the radio is going, so I'll live with it.

Are these deflectors held in with tape or are they held in place by tension?

I received my Weathertech window deflectors. I installed the driver's side front one fairly easily and I left the end on top of the outer part of the weather stripping while inserting the machined edge into the channel. I seated the weather strip with the tool provided. The notch in the deflector does not line up with the tab on the weather strip. Also, my window would not roll up all the way even after lubricating the channel with the Honda Shin-etsu grease. Has anyone else had this problem?

I did not like the strain on he winow motor and that the notch did not line up and will be returning.

I think I'm going to try to install them one more time. I've read that you need to pull upward and outward on the visor to get the window to seat the first time. Once you get the window completely up, you should leave them up for several days to allow the visor to seat in the window gasket. If this doesn't work, I'll be returning mine as well.

I had this issue with my old 2001 Accord and the Weathertech visors. This is why I did not get them for my Ridgeline. There are some great pros to having them, but I love how quiet my RL is. I'm not going to ruin that.

Any one know what that little rubber "tongue" on the front window channel is for...

I hear noise from mine too, I am pretty sure its from the visor and not the window.

I had them on my 2010 Toyota RAV4 for 9 years. I had an issue with the child safety auto roll up feature with them installed. However, I just put them in my 2019 Honda Ridgeline. I spoke to a tech there that told me it is vital after you install them, to let the window sit closed and not open them for 3 days!. You also need to go to the windows periodically and from the top where it says Weather Tech, push it inwards towards the window and work your way down to the front corner in the same manor. I have had mine on now for 3 weeks and I have never had any issues yet.

Side note: The instructions also tell you to open and close the windows 5x's, slowly. Well my first try I had to reset my window. It would not go up or down and was stuck. There apparently is a memory and it needed to be reset.

Is there a difference in ease of installation and wind noise when compared to the OEM visors?

[Homeuser]

I only hear a slight wind noise on my drivers side, the rest I don't hear anything. I can't answer about the OEM ones, never had them.

Also, since I've installed them, I've never had an issue with the window memory, meaning it never went up, then stopped, due to the window thinking something was there. I did what tech said, I left window closed for 3 days..
