mine are the weather tech. they fit perfectly but added a ton of wind noise and also, when you get in the truck after its sat for some time, they creak as the ac adjusts the temp inside versus the outside. i have to tap the window buttons down and back up for a few minutes till the temps all equalize.
i am to the point that i am probably going to remove them because the wind noise and creaking

I also have the WeatherTech. They do fit perfectly and are easy to install. I have noticed an increase in wind noise, but I will give them a little more time to decide if it's enough to remove them. I usually have the windows down anyway, so the noise isn't that noticeable to me. With the windows up, I definitely notice it. I have not experienced the creaking, but I have maybe had the AC on twice since I installed them a few months ago.

These are in channel and work fine on my 25 XLT. Every once in a while they stop the windows from going all the way up and I have to reset the window parameters which is easy to do.

i forgot about that . every once in a while mine catches the passenger window and stops it from rolling up and i have to lean over and push the plastic out while trying to push the window up button. it actually happens enough that i don;t roll the passenger window down unless someone is riding in that seat so they can do it if it stops at that point

I have the Weathertechs now and love them fit good. The creaking stopped after a bit. The noise isn’t too bad as these truck are a bit noisy anyway(wind wise). I had a cheaper set from amazon but the rears kept falling out. The weathertech have been solid.

And they look greatI was going to do the Weathertech, but i figured I'd try the inexpensive Amazon ones first. Installed these last weekend.

It's a 2026 RR. Would there be a difference?
I've always used in-channel style on my vehicles. This is the first time using ones that require the "clips" on the rear set.
Also, these don't appear to be transparent, I see no light through them.
I like them so far.

Weathertechs! Fit like a glove, low profile, my windows never bounce back down on the auto up, and Made in America!
