 WeatherTech Window Deflectors for the 06 Honda Odyssey August 2, 2008
My wife insisted we get these for our Odyssey: they are handy to leave the windows cracked while keeping rain out, etc. We had a similar product on our Ford full-size van years ago. I installed these about a month ago, following the directions explicitly.
The tolerances on the Honda are closer than they were on the Ford (no surprise), but that leads to these deflectors trying to fit into a thinner window channel. When rolling up the windows, there's not quite enough room for the window in the channel--the fit is just a little too tight. Once the windows are rolled up, you hear a slight popping/creaking when first accelerating as the window & deflector shift slightly in the tight channel.
The deflectors that fit in the the two rear sliding doors are attached with an adhesive strip (the fronts snap in), and on one side the adhesive has already failed. I'm sure the "Dallas, Texas in July" heat didn't help--I haven't tried to reattach it yet.
On the positive side, the deflectors are functional, and I think they look good on the van, but as with any aftermarket accessory, well, they're aftermarket, and therefore not OEM quality, fit or finish. Some have complained of whistling/wind noise, but I haven't really experienced that.
