Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the WeatherTech Rain Guards. These are gonna be great for just kind of keeping the heat a little lower in your vehicle so you can kind of crack your windows and just allow a little bit of air flow without having a direct path into your vehicle. This kit's gonna come with both the driver and passenger side front windshield. So if you do want to do it for all of the different vehicles, just use our fit guide. It's gonna give you the list of them. You can either buy them just the front and just the back, or you can buy them all as a kit.
WeatherTech is gonna provide a little bit thicker rain guard compared to some of the other ones. I actually took off my OEM ones, which as you can see, very, very thin, very flimsy, and they started to crack over time. So these aren't gonna crack near as quickly as these did. Also a nice thing about these compared to the OEM ones, as you can see, all that glue and stuff. So these actually sat up top.
So it wasn't as near as aerodynamic as the WeatherTech. So this is gonna bring my wind noise down a lot, and it is very low profile. So you can see the difference between the one that goes on the inside of the little channel compared to the one right behind you, which is on the outside like I was talking about before. I like the look of the WeatherTechs better, and this is not as efficient when it comes to aerodynamics. So we're getting the same amount of benefit as the OEM ones.
We just get a better looking one. It's a nice dark tint, a little bit darker than these right here. And, overall, it's gonna add to the look of my car, which is kind of what I was going for. All of them install the same exact way, both the driver and the passenger side. So if you wanna see how quick the process is, stick around.
We wanna start with the front. So just make sure you have the right side. And this is gonna go in the channel that the window goes in. So roll up your window, see the little slot where it goes in, and that's where this is gonna be. So what we wanna do is start with the front. Get it kinda into that slot the best we can, like this. And then we're gonna have to slowly kind of bend this to get it up into place. We'll be kinda gentle with it, kind of lean it down, that seems to help a little bit, kind of go up like this. They say to leave a gap right here, once it kind of gets into place, then you wanna go into the driver's side and we're just gonna kind of roll it up, but we're gonna do it really, really slowly just to make sure that nothing really bad happens. So just roll up your window. You can see how it's kind of pushing out. All right. All right, so now it's at least bypassing the window. So now I have to do that a couple of different times. We wanna kind of hopefully take out that gap a little bit. Just by coming over, just pushing up a little bit like that. And then we're just kind of gonna go ahead and put it up and put it down about five different times, nice and slow. And five. So we're pretty much good there. Once that's done, you can do that same exact process on the other side. And that'll do it for our look at the WeatherTech Rain Guards..

Let fresh air in while keeping bad weather out. These heavily tinted rain guards keep your interior dry, reduce wind noise, and help to keep temperatures down by promoting better air circulation in your vehicle.by: Moe.03/20/2024
First bad experience with a WeatherTech product. Do not recommend for 2010-2014 Ford Expedition or similar models. I see 4 flaws.
3 of 4 pieces cracked at the corner even when I tried to be as gentle as possible in incrementally raising windows once installed. It seems to be just a few millimeters too oversized.
Second, Rear windows will not raise all the way back in place due to thickness of plastic, it stops. You have to push windshield up while holding the switch.
I was worried that this force would damage the window tint due to excess friction and it may push the rubber out to the point it would be damaged if I took them off months or years later.
Third, and arguably the most important. Too much wind noise. The Ford Expedition is very quiet for an SUV. I tried these for close to a week and I had to take them off. It sounded like gusty wind noise even when there was no wind other then the vehicle going through the air. I removed them and the SUV was quiet again.
Four, It isn't optically correct. Hard to see in the photo, but when looking at the area between the A pillar and side mirror, it's wavy and distracting. Also makes the A pillar appear much larger when it's darker outside due to the tint.
So even though they look nice, and you can crack your windows in the rain if your car is sitting still or you never exceed 50 mph... I wasn't able to get comfortable with the above issues. I can't return them since I installed them and tried them. But hopefully someone else can benefit from this.

It’s still early. I did the upgrade while in a walking boot (cannot drive) due to an Achilles rupture. So I can only comment on the install, which was much easier on the back windows. The front windows were a little awkward but eventually went in. I don’t like the ‘clunk’ as the window closes in the last inch or so. The window comes in contact with the deflector and clunks. I hope the plastic heats / cools and reforms as it sits over the next few days. Otherwise I like the look and finish, it’s just the fit which I’m not completely convinced off yet.

These weather tech side window rain guards are really well made. Front ones installed easily and allow us to crack open the windows even in the rain. I could not for the life of me install the rear ones, or I would have given them 5 stars.
by: West Coast Bob 4704/18/2024
The front rain guards fit my 2023 Passport perfectly. The rears weren't setting correctly in the window seal and neither rear window would roll up completely. Also, when I remove the two rear rain guards, I noticed the thinnest part, which is supposed to go between the window seal and the glass had broken in use. I have no patience for this, so I threw the rears in the trash. In retrospect, I'd have have rated these a 5 if I'd only purchased the fronts.

I put these window deflectors on my 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT. I love the look it gives on my car, and the option it gives me when it is raining to roll down my window. I would give this a 5-star rating and 100% recommendation

I didn't know how much I would love these rain guards until I finally bought and installed them. Install is easy. etrailer shipping quickly. It's been a year and they have held up to the sun and rain, and look brand new still. They work GREAT. Highly recommend!
by: James01/25/2022
Very satisfied and pleased with my purchase experience from etrailer and the weather-tech side door window guards.
Glad I finally converted to weather tech. Installation was simple and no need of vht tapes.
Fitment is perfect, real clean low profile look , as if they belong there.
Highly recommend etrailer and the quality products they offer and professional experience . Top notch customer communication!
Looking forward to working with them for future purchases..

They wouldn’t stay on the front windows with the window rolled down, the drivers side blew off, so I removed the passenger side. The rears are snug 2018 lexus gx 460.

What else would you expect from weathertech??? Proven quality!!
by: Keith 02/27/2024
Looks good and easy to install, just watch the installation videos.
by: Carol02/07/2024
Easy to install, though took a little gentle extra effort to "encourage" them into the window frames. It causes just a little wind noise, but that is expected, as it impedes the aerodynamics of the car.
by: Willie03/21/2024
Easy installation, arrived fast and great price!
by: Charles07/06/2020
paid the little extra to go with these well made and excellent fitting window vents as other "stick ons" just dont last. I bought from etrailer as they track shipping and assure delivery.
very pleased!
highly recommend WeathTech & etrailer

Good fit after a finnicky installation. The front guards do not use an adhesive to install, just pressure, so time will tell how they hold up, but initial impressions are good.
by: James02/02/2024
My package arrived in ok condition! Way to much much room to be shaken and be destroyed. Luckily mine arrived ok. Some of the original packaging was dented and deformed do to over sized box! I got lucky!
by: Tim04/28/2020
Don't look to close. I think that products coming from a company that prides itself on custom fit, the fit would be better. The reveal along the top is very uneven. Instructions say to roll window up very slowly, right, power windows. First time up, crack, :( . Luckily the cracked piece is small and hidden.
by: Steven08/23/2023
Unfortunately the rain Guards don't work properly on my vehicle, the minute they sense the rain Guards the window retracts in the open position,and I can't close my windows.
I will be looking to return these if I can't fix the issue ,or if possible return for a rain guard that has a self adhesive that sticks on the outside of the window trim.
Thanks S

Living in Florida I can tell you I really crack my windows.
I get my car washed 2 to 3 times a month and I have not had any problems with them. I am very happy I invested in them.
by: Steph M.07/27/2019
This is a great product but I had to make a few mods to it to make it work for my car. I've got a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. The little front stop bracket pieces made it difficult for the front window deflectors stay in place so I removed them to see how it'd fit and it still wouldn't sit right. The little non-slip bits of tape melted right off after 1 hot day and the deflector would eventually slip out after a couple of window rolls. So I got some double-sided gorilla tape and placed it just on the front diagonal side to hold it in place so it wouldn't slip. I then used a new, sharp razor blade to bevel cut the tape so it would slide in without rolling over on itself. I didn't put the little bracket in because it sat fine without interfering with the window path. Since it's still hot out I let the tape bake into the the window channel with the windows closed for 2 days. Haven't had a problem since.

I live in SW FLorida where we took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian. The Eye of the storm went right over our house.I do not have a garage to park my Honda CR-V in. I have to tell you that my Weathertech Air Deflectors remained in during this Catastrophic event! They didn't even bend!
