Has anyone found aftermarket side window deflectors for the '20 Soul? Weather Tech would be my first choice, but alas, they have none. Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?
Shane, how are they mounted? Don't mean to sound like a noob, but I've never had side window deflectors on any of my previous vehicles. Is it just double-sided tape stuck to the outside window frame?I got some off Amazon. I really like them.

Reading customer Q&As on Amazon, there is a reference to peeling off the protective tape to install, so yes, they're attached with adhesive. Assuming a clean surface, that should work just fine, I think. If you buy them and install them, let us know what you think. I like deflectors on my cars, since I often drive with the window partly open.Shane, how are they mounted?

Yep. I've only ever had that kind. I peel off a small part of the backing and stick that first then pull it along while keeping the thing in alignment. I also clean the surface with rubbing alcohol first. I've never had one come off.Shane, how are they mounted?

I might hold out for WeatherTech to produce them. I believe theirs usually are In-Channel. Not sure at this point, but if I cave in and get the Amazon spec I will post about them.Reading customer Q&As on Amazon, there is a reference to peeling off the protective tape to install, so yes, they're attached with adhesive.

I'm going to wait for the Weathertech ones, I think. I like the in-channel mounting strategy better.Generally yes, most of us have them. There are a few in channel mounting types but not many (weather tech is one).
They usually have clips as well. Not just sticky tabs.Shane, how are they mounted? Don't mean to sound like a noob, but I've never had side window deflectors on any of my previous vehicles. Is it just double-sided tape stuck to the outside window frame?

I like the decal of the red hell cat dodge on the window of your Soul. It really looks like there's a awesome car parked next to you. NICE!I have a set of those on my 2013 and have had them on another car also. They hold up well and did not come loose at all.
