Window Visors

I have the ERGs waiting to be installed but since my T4R isn't here yet I can't say if they gave me any trouble installing or with the window. However...

I've had in-channel on several vehicles and learned quickly to put a bevel on the bottom edge where the window first makes contact. I use a fine file (old fashioned ignition points file) then sand lightly with 1Kgrit, followed by buffing with a Dremel on low speed and rouge. This has always gotten me around the hang/bump/click/tick (or whatever you want to call it) when the window reaches the visor.

After I get my T4R, I'll do the above and post the results.

Can't wait to see the results.

I ordered the EGR. They had over 1.4k reviews and had an overall score above 4. That's fairly impressive but it's for all vehicles. Also went with them because someone's gotta be first and share with everyone.

We'll see how they turn out

One thing I noticed about the EGRs when they arrived is that the bottom contact points each have a half-moon cutout towards the window (as opposed the the window frame) that looks almost like it was made with a paper-punch. I guess they encountered the window binding issue and tried to address it.

Did you install yours?

The fronts broke off at the ends for both sides for me. It installed fairly easily but when I tested it and rolled up the windows, the first couple of times activated the window jam but then worked 3rd time. Then snap on the 4th...

The backs were perfect sizes and similar to what i've read with Wades with a sticky strip.

I'm calling EGR tomorrow

I'm still waiting for my T4R to arrive. I've already but a bevel on my so I might not have any problems.

Once I get my Toy and install them I report how they turned out.

EGR's customer service in different words said... tough luck.

Didn't even go into the possibility of a fitting issue...

I'll take some pictures tonight to show where I think the problem is.

You might want to call them back and ask for a Mgr. Did you purchase from EGR direct or? Here is a link to their warranty....

Bought it from autoanything and barking up that tree right now. They want photos, and they are just going to provide it to manufacture.

But if they send me a replacement and it's the same thing... i'd just be wasting time but I'll give it a shot. I'd rather return and get wade.

We'll see...
 
fyi both front and rear visors are available from weathertech, but you have to call them because for some reason the web site only lists the fronts. bought fronts and rears recently and installed tonight

Need pictures and approximate price! Oh and initial impressions...

Nice to see another Nutmegger!! Where in CT are you? :cheers:

I have the Wade in channel ones as well. I like them. A little noisy while cruisin down the highway but Im sure that is a characteristic of all of them. Seem durable, we're pretty cheap so if they break its not too much of a hasell to replace. Anti-jam feature has never kicked in, but the window does rub up against them. I think that is a reason why they made their in channel a little thinner. All and all, I'd recommend them.
 
Here are some pictures of the weathertech visors. Overall I'm very happy with the visors. Install was a little nervewracking. The visors aren't as flexible as I thought they'd be, so I was worried I would snap them when you had to bend the corners into the window channel. The rear visors came with adhesive on them, presumably to help hold them up since they are not locked into place the way the front visors are. With that said, I wish the fronts had adhesive on them as well. I'm having a minor problem with the front passenger side visor sagging a little bit, you can push the visor up and down a little bit as it does not sit snug in the top of the channel. Honestly it isn't that bad, but it does bother me since the driver side visor doesn't have the same problem. Kudos to weathertech though, I called them today and they agreed to swap that visor for a new one.

Other minor things to note.. I did notice that the first time I rolled up each one of the windows, I heard a cracking noise. This worried me a little but, but after doing more research online I'm reading that its actually quite common to hear the crack on the initial roll up. Also, you may notice the edges of the visors appear to be a little bit rough, and not polished. This doesn't bother me, but it may bother others. Lastly in one of the pictures where the bottom of the visor meets the weatherstripping, you'll notice a small clear rubber piece glued to the visor. I wasn't sure what this was for, but it appears to be glued on pretty good so I didn't remove it. I assume it could be there so that the bottom of the visor doesn't chew up the weatherstripping. Let me know if you have any questions or want additional pictures, I love the way they look and would highly recommend them.

Thinking of buying Weathertechs too

Very nice set up. Never been a big fan of in-channel side windows deflectors, but Weathertechs really look slick. "Made in Germany" sticker proofs that it is not some king of Chinese low quality plastic too.
