Has anybody had problems with their in-channel deflectors? I'm weary about putting in-channel deflectors on my truck because I don't want to ruin my window motor.

What deflectors do you have, how long have you had them, and how do you like them?

Thanks guys!

I didn't think about the window motor, I just got my new truck yesterday and just ordered In-Channel from PepBoys. 54.99 for Supercrew!

thought I saw another post on in-channel deflectors- anyways had them on mine, no issues other than at highway speed not a good idea to roll window down. had one decide to leave the vehicle. may have been it was a few years old and wasn't as stiff.

sunroof deflector

I read and was told by every rep I talked to that you could not put a sunroof deflector on a truck with the gps antenna on the roof. So that really made me want to try. So far no problems, was wondering if anyone else has had any?

No problems with my in-channel deflectors but they were on the truck when I bought it and it's an 03 Suprecrew so if I was a betting man, they probably have been on since then.

I used to have in- channel deflectors. I opted to take them off as it wasn't allowing my windows to fully roll up and I could feel and hear my motors struggling as they pushed up the last inch or two. It wasn't worth the risk to me.
