I bought mine straight from weathertech. BTW for those of you who have them, how did your fitment hold up, a couple of mine seem to be sagging now and a bit loose when the window is open. I am afraid they are going to fall out....

This thread reminded me of how mine were loose so I finally got around to emailing MacNeil Automotive (WeatherTech) asking them if they had any suggestions on why mine are loose and heres what they replied:
Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx:

Thank you for your business with MacNeil Automotive Products.

The Side Window Deflectors should remain tight always. Occasionally there can be a negligible contracting of your rubber strip in your door, but not enough to greatly affect the fit of the deflectors. A way to rectify this is to remove them and reinstall them with the window rolled up about 3 inches from the top, leaving a gap. The deflectors may have slipped out of perfect alignment somehow (that is usually the problem, and this almost 99%of the time this will correct it) , and that is causing them to be loose. Try this installation method and keep windows rolled up for 48 hours. If they are still loose, let me know, and I will try another solution.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call us.
I am impressed with their service and I will try this method and see if it helps. I feel like I am hijacking your thread.....sorry. BTW I have the dark ones.

I have the dark ones, I love them. I had no problems installing them and have no problems with them coming lose. Mine are definitely in there for good. My gf got mine from this website I think:

I'm pretty sure she got them for around $85 before shipping for a set for all 4 windows. I hope this helps.

The Custom Enterprise ones are the Auto Ventshade stick on ones. They will cover up the chrome window trim on 5th gens. I had these for a while and they did their job but I didn't like how they covered up the chrome. The WeatherTech ones mount inside the window channel and don't look as clunky as the Ventshade ones imo.
