Wind Deflector on 99 Passenger Window

[Ranger101]

Rangers,

Amazingly, my passenger side window stock wind deflector fell of the truck in my garage. Does anyone have any suggestions or history on what is best to use to secure it again? I don’t want to use anything that will harm the plastic deflector, the rubber window seal, or the paint.

Are you talking about one of these?

If so, a plastic gasket scraper to remove the old double faced tape. Goo gone adhesive remover and rubbing alcohol to clean the surface. From there, new double face tape. Make sure it's super sticky stuff.

No Sir. Mine appears to be ‘tucked in’ along the window channel as opposed to stuck onto the door as in your photo. I’m pretty sure it’s original to the truck.

If it is the style that has the double faced tape to hold it in the channel, the same procedure applies.

If there is no double face tape, you just stick it back in if nothing is broken. It is a friction fit. Weather Tech often uses that same method. Some of their kits have metal clips that get inserted first to help hold the thing in place. Whether yours has clips or not, I can't say. Look at the opposite side and see if there is any there.
