Lol I read your first post too quickly, I thought you took off 1/16, I'm not going to be a guinea pig!

I had them on mine. I too had problems with them causing the window to bounce back. Mine were 50/50 on the window bouncing back. I ditched them and went with the Ford ones. I will say the Ford ones don't have as much wind noise as my old Weathertech and I like the Ford ones better.

I prefer sticking to the paint! That is removable in time, the rubber and 3m fuse together after a while!

Same here, 10 months, rears jam on the window (have to get out, open the door and close the window while holding the deflector out of place), and the fronts are 50-50 IF I am lucky. Sucks in the rain, even doing the 'manual' trick, they hit, roll back down, rain blows in.

They come the hell off next week. junk. pure S#!t.

It's good to finally be on the good side of 50/50.
