Default WeatherTech Side Window Deflectors

Just a heads up, WeatherTech now has their side window deflectors for the 2013-2014 GS350. I was one of many waiting for the availability of these defectors since the new GS design came out last year. These type are in channel and install is a channel fit with no glue. I just installed a front pair and they fit great

The windows close no problem?
I had a set on my Acura and I had to work the windows up and down for a long time and still occasionally the window would not close and there was window noise

Just quit smoking - cheaper, healthier, and better looking (car-wise).

The thing I don't like about the in-channel ones is that once u remove it u'll get more wind noise. The rubber stripping will get stretched.

Do these defectors reduce wind noise at 70+ mph?

attached two pictures of WeatherTech deflectors install. These are the dark deflectors. They sell a lighter model also. Both installed quickly with no issues with window auto close if directions are followed. Also no wind noise

I really like the way these look. I may grab a set. Is WeatherTech's website the only place you can order?

I just added them to my 14GS. I'll ensure to post some pics for anyone's reference. I'll get multiple angles. I thought they would "stick out" from the car and I'm happy to say that they do not. Having a little issue with auto close but it's only been one day. Will keep the windows up for the next 3 days to see if there are improvements.

They were a pretty easy install.
