Fronts fit real well, but the window seems to "bump" ever-so-slightly when it rolls up and goes by begining edge of the visor, is this considered "normal"?? Rears fit kind of loosley, they have a double back sticky tape that evedentally adhears to the back edge of the rubber w/s when you push the visor and w/s together----I found that rolling the window up tight keeps the visor in place, I'll keep the rear windows up for a few days to make sure the adheasive sticks well--any tricks here?? ---------- Posts: 214 | From: Palm Bay, Fl, USA | Registered: Jul 22, 2000, 12:00 AM Cruiser RN Cruiser Veteran PT Cruiser Club Member Posted: Jun 10, 2007, 4:40 PM Post #13 of 28 (564 views) Shortcut Re: [P B Cruiser] Ventshades Can't Post Looks like you came across the trick.Roll up the windows and keep them in the up position for a few days.We didn't have to do this with our weathertechs but a few people had this problem with the other brads and this measure fixed it.........God Bless.......Mike ---------- Mike Casabianca His: 2001 Black LE with Auto Transmission, BullDog Signs Flames, WeatherTec wind deflectors, cargo area mat, PT trash can, PT valve stem caps and Dart's coldair intake, chrome tail and headlight bezels, chrome bumper inserts, chrome license plate pillow, chrome fender trim, 1940's retro chrome on front and back fenders, door spears, chrome hatch door trim, chrome gas door, brushed chrome door sills, billet door pins, custom "BlueHaze" dash mat, MRK Group lugnut covers, dome light trim, etc. and the chrome goes on......
