Today we're going to be taking a look at the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors. These are going to be for the front and rear, passenger and driver side, and they come in two colors. The first is going to be the dark tint. The second one you see here is the light tint. It's nice that you've got options to most closely match your vehicle. These are designed to reduce wind noise and allow interior heat to escape your vehicle even when it's raining.
They're very quick and easy to install. There's no tools needed and anywhere that you will have tape, since these are designed to fit inside of your window channel, you'll never be putting that tape on the exterior of your vehicle. They have a very low profile design, gives it an OE or a factory look. They offer great durability with the 3-mm thick acrylic construction. As I said before, we're going to have four pieces included in each kit made to fit the front and rear, both passenger and driver side. We already have our driver side installed and I just had this to show you what that lighter tint is going to look like.
Inside your package, you're going to have full instructions for it. There will be a second set of instructions if your vehicle requires the channel clips which we have here. If it does, you're going to have four of those designed for the rear window and your weather stripping tool. We already have the driver side installed on this one. I believe I've already told you that. Let's get started getting these put on the vehicle.
We're looking here at our front first. As you can see, there's a little stuffed in area here, this area. That visor should be resting directly on top of our window channel. You can see that there. It comes out and it rest right on top of the chrome and rubber stripping.
That's then going to tuck up into the front corner there, we'll come to the rear, we'll flex this out, and we're going to position that into the channel as well. Now it's time to start working our channel up into place, we can do it from the front side and work that to the back. Now you pull it down and you allow it to go up and under that stripping there. Do it just a little bit at a time. You don't want to flex it out too much. It's nice and durable but certainly don't want to bend it in half. That's really all there is to installing that front half. Per the instructions, we'll want to bring our window up. As it passes the connection point or where the corners are, we pull it enough to give that a nice, free pass there. Same thing here on the rear, we're going to lift up and out on it, and allow it to secure in there nicely. Now, as our Fusion is here today, it's equipped with the auto-down feature, that safety feature if something we're to get in the way. In this case, we're just going to leave our window up for 12 to 24 hours and let them seat in there really well. If you don't have that feature and you can fully roll your windows up and down, you want to do that very carefully, very slowly five times, and then let it rest in this upward position. At the rear, as we said, we do have the channel clips that are made to fit inside of our window channel, so let me grab those and grab our tool. These are going to be positioned, per our instructions, about 4 inches from the front of the windshield. We can use the weather stripping tool to hold down, place the top in and then just rotate that on up into position. The tool will actually come in handy when you're trying to help guide it up in and around there, so you can get it plenty high enough in there so it won't cause any interference. All right. When we get that one in place, just come here to the rear. Again, we do the 4 inches and then rotate them up in there. A good fit on that one. That one's not quite going in there far enough. There we go. Just want to be sure they clip in that channel really well for you. We'll now grab our rear visor. We want to start it in the channel down here a little bit lower. We'll start sliding it up. Once it gets to our clips, we want to use the visor to push down and in in our clips. That'll will allow us to slide it up and behind. Just like that. As you can see, they're in position there, nice and steady. Now, as we said, this one doesn't have the tape that's designed to fit into the channel like some of them will. Right before we slide it up and in, that's when you'll remove that tape for the other application. With our rear deflector in place, it's now time to bring our window up just like we did on the front. We do want to give it some space. We're going to lift out here as it comes by that corner and again, here on the rear corner. Just lift that, give it some room to get up in there, just like the front. If you've got that auto-down safety feature, just leave them up 12 to 24 hours. If not, up and down five times. That's all there is to it. Now that we've had a good look at the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with the light or dark tinting and the front and rear 4-piece, we'll see you later. .

Let fresh air in while keeping bad weather out. These heavily tinted air deflectors reduce wind noise and help to keep interior temperatures low by promoting better air circulation in your vehicle.Easy to install...looks streamline and professional. Sits in place nicely and does a great job of keeping out rain with windows cracked. I really like that they fit inside the channel and don't stick onto the outside...it gives a much better look. 583006
These rain guards installed in about 10 minutes with very little effort. The written instructions were clear, concise and the pictures allowed me to see what the finished product would look like. I will continue to order from etrailer due to the product quality, great customer service and reliability of parts used thus far. I have also recommended this website to a friend so he could order parts too. 492476
Very quick order / delivery process. Product was as advertised but easier to install that initially anticipated. Much appreciation for your site and ease in finding and ordering what I wanted. My wife really enjoys the window trim and the wiring was so easy to install that I was through with the installation hours sooner than I expected. 170357
Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
Product arrived well packaged in perfect condition with good installation instructions. Easy to install. I especially like being able to lock doors but leave windows cracked open to let heat escape. Don't have to worry about a sudden shower soaking door electronics and seats. 269516
Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
I have window deflectors on all our cars, and now our daughter requested a set for her car. They allow me to park at work all day with windows cracked open for ventilation in baking sun, without concern that the weather may turn to rain. The deflectors also allow me to cruise with ventilation, even in rain. These have three benefits and one bonus: 1) The WeatherTech window deflectors are the in-channel style, so external tape is not used in installation. 2) WeatherTech is the only manufacturer I found that offers a 'lightly tinted' version. I prefer this because the deflectors contribute extra dimension to the blind spot of the front pillar. There is better visibility through these than the standard darker tint. 3) etrailer sells and delivers them below the item cost on the WeatherTech web site. 4) Etrailer contacted me after the order to alert me these were out of stock and on order from the factory. They expected receipt in 3 weeks, and promised delivery within 4 weeks. I was in no rush since it is winter and hard to install in brutal cold. Somehow, etrailer got them in and delivered them to me a full 2 weeks before their own estimate. Great product, and better service than I could expect. I cannot ask for more. 111398

Simple to install, looks great. Can leave windows open a bit when it's raining to get some fresh air. Ordering from trailer could not have been any easier. Shipping was quick. 359189

The front window air deflectors work as expected without problems. The side window air deflectors never stayed in place after installation. I made several attempts to reinstall them when they came lose. Finally, one of them came off while I was driving on the interstate and it has obviously disappeared. 392989
Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
Installed the front Side Window Deflectors on the 2017 Subaru Outback, after watching the factory video and reading the included instructions. The overall installation was easy, however the location of the "weather strip clips" was not 100% clear. They were NOT shown in the factory video and could be placed in two different ways over the window gasket material........... over the window trim and outside the rubber window seal..... or over the window trim and inside the rubber window seal. Tried them both ways to find out which one was correct, which caused me to remove one of the deflectors after they were installed. Guessed that the clip should be outside the rubber window track????? Also noticed increased wind noise at highway speed with the deflectors installed. 417479

Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
Dear etrailer.com, you guys aren't just the best in THE business, you might just be the best in business, period. You are a model of how online shopping and service should be done. Congrats on a very tight ship! This product from WeatherTech is definitely on par with their other excellent products. The installation video provided by eTrailer was a great help in supplementing the printed directions that come in the box. The first one is the trickiest, and does require a bit of care, but after that, the others are a cinch, and the whole installation only took about 10 minutes. Looking forward to being able to more securely vent my cabin on the (many) hot days we have down here in the South! Thanks for making it easier on me! 350078

I purchased these for a new, 2018 Subaru Outback. The rear window deflectors fit perfectly and went on easily. The front window deflectors did not fit. When installed, the windows bound up on the front of the window and would not go up. I feel they are too long for the window. I tried to install in all different ways but to no avail - the window would not work. I previously installed on a new Ram truck and Ford F-150 without any issue. I contacted Weathertech but did not get any response. 638690

WeatherTech make great products. The window air deflectors or fantastic. Easy and fast to install. They look and work great on my truck. I love to leave my windows crack in the hot summer and not worry about it raining inside my truck. I also had great service with etrailer.com fast shipping at great price. I have had these on my truck for a year and still look great with no problems. 571762
Marty A - 10/05/2019Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
Bought air deflectors for both Toyota Camry and Tundra. The deflectors fit right the first time and were easy to install. These are much better than the glue-on type of air deflectors and protect a larger portion of the window opening. Very pleased with them. 215607

Very nice product but a little difficult to install. After pushing the deflector into place I heard a cracking noise. Seems to be ok with no noticeable problem. 881351

Review from a similar Side Window Tinted in Rain Guards
The deflectors themselves work great. I had them on my previous 2007 Dodge Mega Cab, and the driver's side rear one blew off. I put a set on my 2011 Dodge 3500, and the driver's side rear one blew off. Sent an email to WeatherTech about getting just one deflector instead of having to by a whole set. Never got a response. Dealing with etrailer was great. 864780
