Rain guards adhesion

[chipearly]

Those that have the rain guards on the windows from Ford, might want to check them from this cold weather. Driver side was loose so i decided to pull it off. Then pulled the others. All of them barely had adhesion just popped off.

I have the EGR window deflectors (front in-channel, snap in, rear use 3M VHB), and the rear did pull loose after less than a year, in spite of cleaning and de-greasing the weatherstripping in the top of the window channel.
That did not happen on my '17 Escape which used the WeatherTech window deflectors (pretty much identical to the EGRs). I had that car for 7 years.
But, I think it could happen to any of the window deflectors which are taped in.
Good to be aware!

I have the AVS version and had to replace the tape on 3 of the 4 visors after only 15 months. That they stick to rubber in some places is the main problem, I think. Will probably try an in-channel version down the road (if they're available).
