Fletch,
Got mine from DG also, and installed this past Saturday. The narrow end ( back of louver) does not have 3M tape attached. Water would drain from this area .
PS: Great quality for the price . Perfect paint match .
Great to hear. How long did it take you to recieve them after you ordered? I placed my order last Wednesday, and still have not recieved the shipping confirmation e-mail.

Wow, a lot longer turn around time than I expected. Hopefully it'll be quicker for me. I'm really anxious to see my car with these things on.

ok the way i see it. the car washes that arent touchless use scotch brights to scrub the cars so all your doing is scratching it. just my opinion. for your question, the louvers hold just fine in a touchless unless for some reason there is a week spot in the tape that might have gotten exsposed to too much dust or your fingers. but nothing beats a good hand wash.

Thanks to everyone for the input.

FYI, whale snot is more viscous when wet but dries like mortar....harder than the head of a GTO owner.

Hell, mine Stay on at 140 MPH so a little car wash should not hurt them. I like a hand jobover the touchless car wash...Just my opinion ! lol.

So, after the car wash, does water slowly come out of the louver for a while and drip down the side of the car? Iwas alwayswondering if they did that.

I haven't had a problem with touchless washes. Good way to keep her clean in the winter without turning my hands to icecubes. I have had issues with touch washes though, ripping my spinner caps off. [:@]The dealership has a touch wash, and lost one of my spinner caps.......Good thing I noticed when I picked it up.
