WeatherTech in-channel window vents *beware*

[GvegasRaptor]

Fixed my bounceback!!
I got the de-initialization/initialization procedures from my dealership and had success with it. Here's the procedure they gave me. I went with the option of removing the fuse:

De-Initialization

Note: The front window motor must be de-initialized (reset to its original factory settings) before carrying out the initialization procedure.

1. Turn the ignition ON.
2. Operate the window control switch in one-touch mode and remove power from the window motor while the window is moving by one of the following methods:

a. Disconnect the vehicle battery cable while the window is moving.
b. Remove the LH or RH front window motor fuse while the window is moving.

3. This de-initializes the window motor and reset the window motor to its original factory setting
4. Carry out the initialization procedure to turn the one-touch-up feature on


Initialization

WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects In Its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result In serious personal injury.

NOTE: The front window must be in the full OPEN position for this procedure to operate correctly

NOTE: If the initialization procedure is only partially completed, the front window motor remains de-initialized and operates only in proportional up/down and one-touch¬down modes.

5. Turn the ignition ON.
6. Activate and hold the window control switch in the UP position at the second detent until the window glass stalls for 2 seconds into the glass top run and release the switch.
7. Activate and hold the window control switch in the DOWN position at the second detent until the window glass stalls for 2 seconds at the bottom of its travel and release the switch.


im sure someone here has tried this. wonder if it works. hell, id just leave it de-initialized if i knew i could install the in-channel and roll the window up without it coming right back down. i could live without the auto-up feature.

Great info. My wife just purchased me the AVS style for the Raptor for Christmas and how did she know what to get...? She went on google and ended up on the FRF. Thanks google and to a women on a mission and the FRF!

I installed my weathertech wind gaurds on my 2010 a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if year has anything to do with it, but I've no bounce back issues at all. Also it was below freezing and no cracks either

Well I removed them this morning. Road salt and grime got on my windows and my driver side barely wanted to go up. It was also making a horrible scraping sound like it was scratching my window glass.

i tried this today, but left if de-initialized. auto-down works, auto-up doesnt, and no bounceback. i read on another forum that it can re-initialize on its own, so ill see. if it stays like this ill leave it. i had in-channel on my rangers for 8 years and loved em.
