I have all the deflectors. Best one was the sunroof. Makes a difference in noise when open. The four windows great as well. Crack the window while parked on hot days, also great for rainy days windshield does not fog up.

I had mine paint matched.

I bought a set of ebay ones, I put em on one day and was skeptical and tore em off a day later after it rained because water got got through them everywhere around the tape. the tape was good quality 3M stuff but the overall casting and trimming was crap. But what can you expect from cheap visors from ebay. They came from a reputable seller as well. I might just get avs ones someday and see how they go.

Been looking for some slim, clean fit deflectors. Does anyone know what other car's deflectors will fit on the RDX?

I'm thinking about buying some cheap ones for our RDX and going around to other cars and seeing if they fit. Once I find a fit then I can buy slim deflectors for that car and install them on the RDX.

Thanks for the info man. I went to the dealer and asked about it too, apparently it was discontinued a while ago. I will probably pick up a pair from ebay and learn the trial and error way..

i'm a bit late in the action but hopefully this thread (pics on post #26) will give everyone an idea:

https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-rdx-2007-2012-147/rdx-side-window-deflector-720512/

I just purchased a CPO 2011 RDX and have ordered a set of AVS windows deflector, knowing the quality is not top notch, and i'll most likely need to remove and re-do all the 3M double sided tape, but this is the only option available in the market for our RDXs.

I recently bought some from ebay from a seller Racingtouch and turned out pretty good. I can't complain for $21.57 shipped. It's no weathertech or Honda Access but its what i was looking for with the options we have. Its pretty thick too. Id say about 2mm thick, very sturdy and not as fragile. These are low in profile and does not stick out like crazy. Super dark tinted, 3m mounting taped, and fits was pretty good. They even have the ledge where the side mirror is to transition from the high to low. I have had it on the car for about a week now and we have over 100 degree heat in Vegas and has held up pretty good. My only complaint is the ABS is not cut as straight on the edges as id like. For $21 I wont complain. It gets the job done.

hope this helps... for those who still wonder why weather tech hasn't made them for the rdx

"We do apologize again for the inconvenience. There are a number of reasons why we do not offer offer a certain product for a particular vehicle. In the case of the Acura RDX, the window has an odd shape that would make it difficult for the Deflectors to be held in by tension. We also noticed that the window’s sensors are very sensitive, and our Deflectors would interfere too much. So rather than offer a product that we know would have problems, our product development team decided it would be best to not to offer a product that wouldn't live up to our standards. Let us know if you have any further questions or concerns – we’d be happy to help."

LOVE MY RDX!

Here you go. sorry it took me a minute to get a picture of it since its my wifey's car. Its funny I was just thinking of snapping some pictures tonight. Hope this helps you guys on finding a right one for you. I love them. Very low profile and sturdy design. Fit is okay but i'm willing to deal with it since it only costed $20. LOL
