Just purchased a TL 05 with nav. Everything works fine but when driving in Highway with the sunroof opened, the wind draft is real loud. Has everyone installed a sunroof visor? Does the wind draft reduce quite a bit with the visor on?? The original OEM is over $100, I would say the from weathertech.com is better buy. Also considering the weathertech.com window visor which does not use any tape. Has anyone installed sunroof and window visors from weathertech.com for TL? Do they perform well? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Replying to: nring (Jan 07, 2008 6:08 am) you should have leased a car that had what you wanted on it. adding accessories that you can't take off and/or resell is throwing money away. don't do it. take your situation to the extreme. imagine you take this LEASED TL to a body shop, and get a custom body kit installed, custom paint work, all kinds of custom motor work, and you end up spending $10,000 on the car. when the lease is up - AND if you turn the car back in, you just LOST all that. now if you buy the car at the end of the lease, then you can keep it. so you are sort of forcing yourself into buying the car if you want to get back the "investment"... honestly, i would save the money. a spoiler isn't worth $400. if you have to get a spoiler, i'd look at local junkyards. you may find a totalled TL that has the spoiler on it, and they junkyard will sell it to you for $100. you might get lucky and it's the correct color. if not, a body shop will install and paint it to match for probably another $100. total cost $200. or look for aftermarket generic wings. the pricing on OEM stuff is a rip off.

Replying to: superdavid (Jan 22, 2008 9:41 am) At lower speeds (45mph and lower), it definitely cuts down on that wind noise... you almost can't even tell the sunroof is open. At highway speeds, it's still very loud. Weathertech makes awesome stuff. The sunroof visors all install the same way. They have a few little clips that you just tighten with a screwdriver and your done. The side window visors, like you said, use no tape. They clip in to the window slot and you're good to go. My friend has Weathertech visors on his X-Terra and they've held up for 2 years now and look are perform well. Nothing has ever come loose and there is no wind noise. I have a Weathertech trunk liner in my G35 and it's also of very high quality. The fit is perfect, and it has held up very well to the abuse of my golf clubs and all the other stuff getting tossed around back there. Good luck. |

My best friend has a 2007 TL Type-S in Kinetic Blue Pearl. His birthday is coming up fairly soon and I have the perfect present idea for him -- if only I could find it! I am looking for those side window deflectors. However, his TL has some beautiful tinted windows, and of course, the stock dark wheels that come with the Type-S, and clear window deflectors will look ridiculous. I'm trying to find some quality, long-lasting deflectors that come in smoke or black or some dark color that will match the rest of the car. WeatherTech does not appear to offer them in anything other than clear, and I have looked all over the web! I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL if anyone could assist me in this endeavor. Thank you in advance!

Replying to: dsjq (Mar 22, 2008 4:57 am) The ones they are selling are not clear... they're a light tint, which looks darker once on the car. If you want the dark smoked color, call them... they've got great customer service and will help you find what you need. WeatherTech Acura TL Side Window Deflectors
