• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Just received and installed the new WeatherTech Kia Telluride Side Window Deflectors (In-Window Channel Rain Guards) – Front Pair Only

Easy and quick installation - less than 5 minutes per side.

They fit perfect. Can't wait for the rear window pair to be produced by WeatherTech.

Just ensure you have the front plastic guard (clear protective tape already applied) resting on the window "sill", not just over the weatherstripping. If this is installed incorrectly, it could rip your rubber weatherstripping and the window will roll up and then back down automatically as it will have resistance when it hits the new plastic window guard (see image below for proper placement - green box).

Hi! sorry to resurface an old post but wondering how the Thinkware dash cam has been working out for you? We just got our car not too long ago so I'm just working through my list of items to get for the car. Also, did you just match the tint for the front windows?

The Thinkware dash cam works great. No issues since installing it a year ago.

Yes, I requested the front side windows to match the rear side window tint so that the look wouldn't be off when looking at the side of the vehicle.

How much was it to get the tint matched? Been getting some quotes and they are all over the place.
 
What's the best way to properly maintain the exterior during our brutal winters? Are there any good touchless or hand wash places in the area anyone would recommend?

I have the Circle K (Shell) monthly subscription that allows me to wash the truck as many times in a month (max twice a day) for just $19. My local Circle K has the touchless wash. Not the best for your vehicle because of the chemicals but best option during the winter.
