Question weathertech in channel deflector install issues

So I just bought some smoked in-channel side deflectors part number 80247, and after reading the directions and watching the general install video from their website it seems so easy. But I don't know why I can't get these to fit. Does anyone have some install pics or videos of them on your monte, any would be greatly appreciated

They are very snug. Jam it into the side with the mirror first, then you basically have to bend them so the other end fits in, then you just make sure it is in throughout.

Also make sure your window is 100% down.

x2 on what Chibi said...bend them towards you to get both sides in.

Mine took awhile to get in as well. After finally getting them in, they seemed to stop the window from going up all the way. I rolled the window up and down several times, then decided to help push it up with my hands as well. I left the deflectors in and the windows rolled up for 12+ hours so things could get situated.

With time, they'll work just fine and are pretty sweet

PS, their floor mats are amazing too! Oh, and the TechShade. I'm going for the license plate cover next
