Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2006Window Deflectors for 2006 Quad Cab Dakota
I just bought my new truck and I have been searching for "In channel" side window deflectors but have not had luck. Dodge sells the "stick on" or "tapped" kind instead. Anyone had any luck finding some for your's? I am aware of the back 2 windows being the tape on kind. It is the front two that worry me the most. I don't have any depth perception so I need the side mirrors to not be blocked by the kind that go all the way down the window. Thank you so much for your help. Tim a.k.a.

"Numan" WeatherFlectors run all the way down but the Lightly Tinted ones are easy enough to see through. They're still a bit distracting sometimes when coming coming around corners and one eye is looking at the road through plastic and the other eye isn't. They do not block the mirrors. It looks like, for your Dakota, the rear pieces also fit inside the channel. http://www.autobarn.net/xxxweatherflector.html >> I just bought my new truck and I have been searching for >> "In channel" side window deflectors but have not had [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > http://www.autobarn.net/xxxweatherflector.html Thank you. >> I just bought my new truck and I have been searching for >> "In channel" side window deflectors but have not had [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > http://www.autobarn.net/xxxweatherflector.html Since I was ordering quite a few other things from JC Whitney I decided to try out the WeatherTech deflectors. They worked perfectly! :-) Thank you for your suggestion. I know there are others out there who are glad to have the information.  SignatureTim McBride A.K.A.

Roy >>I just bought my new truck and I have been searching for >> "In channel" side window deflectors but have not had [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Roy I have found that not having depth perception only really affects day to day things about once every other day. Now, the problem with the new truck is that I have a one car garage and won't even attempt to pull the truck into it. I may be able to get it in but would certainly play heck getting it back out. :-) > day to day things about once every other day. Now, the problem > with the new truck is that I have a one car garage and won't even > attempt to pull the truck into it. I may be able to get it in but > would certainly play heck getting it back out. :-) Oh come on! Be adventurous. :-) I have a two car, two door garage. When I first purchased my house, I was concerned that my truck wouldn't fit into the garage from height, depth and width perspective. The result is that it does fit but I have to: 1) Width: Fold the side mirrors in. I have about 6 inches total width (3 inches on each side if I stab it directly center) of wiggle room when pulling in. 2) Height: My satellite radio antenae pod sits on top of the cab. I am just able to squeeze under the top of the door opening with 3/4" to spare. 3) Length: I have exactly 2 inches total of extra room. So, if I leave my hitch on, I can't close the garage door. I only pull it into the garage when 1) the weather is getting bad or 2) when I know I won't be driving it for a few days. Your truck may fit. Problem is, if you truly have a one car garage, the only way out is the sliding rear window. :-) Craig C.

But if hail is in the forecast I probably will attempt it. I will probably have to have someone else pull it back out though. The garage is off-set just slightly so it makes the situation even worse for pulling back out. I have already backed back into the gate that is between the detached garage and house with my old car. I can just see me backing straight back into the corner of the house! Holy crap. LOL Numan >>> day to day things about once every other day. Now, the problem >>> with the new truck is that I have a one car garage and won't even [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > Numan No, no, your using the brail method. <G> Go to a parking lot(a m/t one) and try to get familiar with the truck. Park it between the lines, back it between the lines. You gotta learn where the heck the corners are. Have somebody guide you, while you use your mirrors, stopping you just before you make contact. Do you have the small dime mirrors stuck on your factory mirrors? They should help. Roy >>>> day to day things about once every other day.

They do help with parking lot lines. I didn't think about the garage. That is a good idea. Numan > I just bought a cover for it for the winter (snow and ice).

Now, the problem [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > "line" > and timing braking/accelerating through the turn.. I just found that you had to adapt to it. I've had no problem at high speed with car's finding the line, AutoX wasn't a problem. Plowing is not a issue. At the range I will be off 1/4 left at 100yds. That is only a adjustment. What took me away from bikes was in my case it is the left eye, so to change lanes or entering from the right caused you to turn a bit to the left to catch the mirror. Too many times I'd look to the left then back ahead and be in the sh.t or damn close to it. Then a rock was tossed up and cracked the right lens of the poly carb glasses, that was it. I love my german sheperd's, but not on a harness. Roy > Mac > > https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis > https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm |
