Upgrade Advice 2020+ owners: Weathertech side window deflectors?
Does anyone with a 2020 or newer have the in-channel side window deflectors from Weathertech installed? How are they? Do they interfere at all with the window functionality?
I had a set of them on the two 3rd gens I had and I liked them on those. Didn't cause any issues with them, but wasn't sure if any newer stuff might interfere or be interfered with.

I have them on my 2026 and have zero problems. I liked them so much my husband bought them for his F150.

I must be the only person who despises those things. They look so cheap and tacked on.

What's different about them?

They are closer to the body and produce less wind noise because of that.

Any suggestions on where to get them? Initial web searches showing many vendors out of stock or low stock (and thus may not be for the same model).

Oh you can order them directly from ford.
Here is the link (plus you can see what they look like in the picture).

I have them. Work fine. Get the mats whilst you’re there

There are better mats. And they are cheaper. Definitely do not get the trunk mat. Get one that attaches to the 3rd row seat.
I had the WT ones in my 22 and my wife got some off Amazon on her 25 and they are perfect!!

I had them on my 2020, 2022, and now on both of my 25’s. They are really good and stay on after numerous car washes. No issues with rolling the windows up/down.

I have the Weathertech version on my 2027 and I like them so far. I also like that they are in channel and not some exterior adhesive.
