Here are a few installation tips directly from WeatherTech to help out with your question on # WT39AQ
1. When installed correctly, the
bottom edge of the front
deflector must rest on the door's
outer weather-strip molding and
only the thin flange is in the
channel between the glass and
inner seal.
2. Slowly raise the window up
without activating the auto-up.
If unable to fully close, have
someone press the window
between their hands upwards
Simultaneously raise the window
up in small increments until
fully closed.
3. If safety features cause the
window to go down, reset the
window by:
a. Roll the window down, hold
the down button for
5 seconds.
b. Raise the window without
activating the auto-up feature
Hold the up button for
3 seconds.
4. Leave windows closed fully for
12 hours.

That may work for an older model vehicle but it doesn’t work for a 2024 Chevy 3500. I tried all those steps to correct the problem and it didn’t work. Weather tech window deflectors do not work on a 2024 Chevy 3500 with auto window up and down.

@Tim That's not good! Do you know what part number or kit you ordered? We have a couple kits from WeatherTech that are confirmed to fit the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 and we haven't really seen any reviews stating they won't work. That said, sometimes it can be tricky to get them installed correctly where they won't interfere with the window closing all the way.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
