DIY; Installing Corsport Wind Deflectors fg2

birminghamSI · 12-30-2009, 01:17 PM

I'd like to do a DIY on something more mechanical, but my mechanic skills dont go far so ill stick with what i can do.

First off I want to thank corsport for the quick shipping, i was very impressed because i ordered over the holidays.

Alright
1; Roll your windows down about halfway, to give you some room to work with.

2; Clean the top part of your windows, simply because its easy to skip over the covered part on a normal wash when they are installed.

3;Insert the front part of the deflector(the part that does not say "weathertech") into the front part of the door. Make sure the bottom part of the hockey stick looking part rests on the OUTSIDE of the window

4; Bow the middle of the deflector out away from the car, and insert the back of the deflector leaving about a 1/2in. gap between the top of the window and the back of the deflector.

5;From the front of the deflector push up making sure the machined lip in fully inserted all the way to the back.

6;Gently pull the deflector out to make sure you got a good seal

7:Roll the windows up and down a couple times (instructions say 5X). Then leave the windows rolled up for 12hrs to insure the best possible seal
Then enjoy =)

And if you want to remove the sticker from weathertech, pick wht you can off with your finger and use rubbing alcohol to get the rest off. Looks 10x better IMO

I have a question, when you push the visors in after you have put on the front and back portion of it....is it supposed to be like.."loose?" Like when I roll my window down a little bit it isn't on "tight" its sorta loose. I don't know if this is supposed to happen?
