-andrew- Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hi all - new here. Picked up a used 2016 Legacy Limited in January, and except for a few minor things (autoplay bluetooth, wonky eyesight when the vehicle in front leaves lane to turn), I really like it so far. Anyway, I priced out window and roof air deflectors at the dealership... yikes. Can anyone recommend a place to buy them? Couldn't believe how expensive they are through the dealer, and I think I can install them myself... Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowser51 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Congrats! A few of us have the well visors. No roof deflector though. So far so good, I've enjoyed having them on the car. No issues. Let me see if my photobucket is working, I haven't bothered trying to switch over yet since photobucket went crazy. This will probably lock this photobucket account, but here are the well visors. the chrome parts has been plastidipped black to match the rest of my car. http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx321/chowser51/IMG_3895.jpg http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx321/chowser51/332DEE0D-2682-4872-8E3A-44C4E09E3659.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeuEmMaiMai Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 PSA: the photo bucket photos are now busted as they now charge a 39.99 monthly fee for image hosting anyways the weather tech shades are nice because they actually mount in the window tracks with clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I didn't think WeatherTech made them for the sixth gen? I actually looked on their website yesterday. I picked up OEM ones yesterday, but haven't installed them yet. Would definitely prefer in channel visors over the stick on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s correct; they don’t make them for the 6th gen and I honestly don’t think they have any plans to after speaking with them.

vicvega Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I've been considering on the Well Visors. I'm missing out on not having any at all especially with the hot summer days we've been having. Nice to crack open the window when it's raining and not get any water in or fogging of the windshield. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 The Wellvisors have been working well for me. No leaks. We're having weird t storms off and on all week and it's been great just cracking the windows open a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the adhesive holding up well? Thanks! Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Not long. Four months. But we've had snow storms, rain storms in that time. It's been through car washes and I drive like an asshole sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtdog Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 When I got my '16 I tried to find Weathertech visors but was advised by the company that although the units are made in the US the molds are made in Germany and (at that time) they had no plans to have molds made. I suspect because so few Legacys are sold in comparison to other cars. At the time the only option was OEM which I purchased on the internet from Claremont NH Subaru. The Ebay cost (free shipping) was less than from my selling dealer even with my "special" discount as a buyer. The OEM units are an easy install, but there are no instructions supplied. The box had a web address printed on the outside to show you where you go to download same. The whole install process took about 20 min, but the pictographs (no written guide) are not the best. I have had them on 2 winters in temps down to -15F and summers up to about 100F without issue. That being said, I would have probably have bought the Wellvisor units as they look the same and are much much cheaper, but were not available at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Guys, I installed my OEM visors on Sunday and took it on the highway for the first time today. Problem is, I now have a whistling wind noise. I put the door seal back in correctly and cannot figure out why this is happening. This is only coming from my drivers window, and the seal is tight around the two clips. Any thoughts?

vtdog Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I have no issues with mine. The only "suggestion" I can make is that you check to see if all the adhesive cover strip was removed. When I did mine I noticed that the cover strip had torn and stayed on the plastic is a small area just past where the clip attached to one of the rear the windows. I had to use a pair of tweezers to pull it off as the vent was so tight to the window I could not get my fingers in to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
