I can't and won't bash weathertech, but I like the stick on one's. Nobody ever takes them off the truck, once they're on. So who cares that it's on the paint.
I broke one on the old 05 and a little goof off got the adhesive off no sweat.

I've been wanting to try the Weathertech's but afraid of the results.

My AVS come off real easy. Dog head caught in closing window proved it.

Did the tape come with it? I work as a detailer and have spent hours trying to remove double sided tape from the rubber moulding. I won't do that to my truck!

The tape was on the metal door frame and no residue was left, came off easily. Had been on for three months.

Default Why not relearn the window?

After all these posts I'm surprised no one tried the windows learning feature. When you lower the window, if you push the down three times fast (after they are all the way down) you will hear the window clunk into the bottom of the channel. You then raise the window manually all the way till closed. It takes 20 times for the window to learn the new "up". I did that to mine and they both have worked well (front ones are the only ones I use all the time). No hassle when it has been -15deg. and no hassle when it was 90+.
I wouldn't stick that double sided tape to a vehicle I own again for anything. I like to never got that stuff off the rubber when I had to replace the front one on the Exploder I owned previous to this truck.

The outside visors don't stick on the rubber. They adhere to the paint!

I got the weathertech on my 2014 for a week with no problems. Followed the instructions they came with and on both front windows the 1 touch works fine.

For those guys who are having issues removing the tape, buy one of these. They are amazing. Removed tape, decals, pinstripe, etc.....

Decal Eraser Wheel : Amazon.com : Automotive Decal Eraser Wheel : Amazon.com : Automotive

Wont harm the paint either.
