Video Transcript for Test Fit: WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Dark Tinting on a 2014 Toyota Tundra

Today on our 2014 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, we're going to be doing a test fit of the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors. These are in the dark tint. It's a 4 piece so it's made to fit both front and rear windows. Part number on that is WT82450. Now, in your package you'll have product catalog, installation instructions, we're going to have warranty information, and we'll have 2 front and 2 rear Air Deflectors. The Air Deflectors are made of a 3 millimeter acrylic. They're nice, long lasting, and durable.

They've got a very low profile design. It's going to keep with that OE or a factory style look. Now, these serve a couple purposes. 1, on those really hot days, you can leave your windows cracked just a little bit, you don't have to worry about rain getting in. You're going to allow that heat to escape.

Also, something I found they come in really handy for is, when you get in your car and you're wet, you're damp, you can crack those window down, again the rain's not going to come in but you're going to let that moisture out so you're not building up a bunch of frost or something on the inside that you need to get taken care of. Installation is completely tool free. It's a simple process. Let me go ahead and take you through it and let's just see exactly what it's going to entail. We'll start on our front, we've already got our passenger sides installed. It's the exact same thing, front to back.

We want to roll our driver side window down, far enough to where it's well below our corner here at the top. If you look right up here, we want it to also have a gap here between the leading edge of that wind, or window in the front side of the truck there. With that window down, we'll grab our Air Deflector. Here at the front, you'll notice there's a little recess area. We want to position the lower portion of that so it will rest right on top of the weather stripping hanger.

We don't want that to be tucked back in, we want that to be right out on that front edge. Once we have that in position, we're going to move here to the rear. We bow out the Air Deflector slightly and we'll position it in so that will fit in that crack. We want to leave about 1/4 or 1/2 inch gap there. Now, my front side came out on me so I'm just going to reposition that back in. Now, it's time to start working it in to place. As you can see, it slides in there very nicely. You work it in from the front to the back. Sometimes you will need to pull down and rotate it in. But as you can see, that went right in, no issues, no problem. Now, to seat it properly, we'll do that with our window. I'll kind of get back so you can see. We'll start bringing our window up. Now, we want to press out on the Deflector as we do that and allow that window to pass freely up behind it. Once we get to the rear here just like on the front, we pull out on it slightly, allow our window to come up behind it. Now, we're going to roll our window down slightly and back up and we're going to do this 5 times. That helps to properly seat our channel in there, or our Air Deflector into our channel. That's all there is for the front. Thing's installed and we're ready to go. Now let's look at the rear. We'll do the same thing by rolling our window down. This one doesn't have to go down as far. Of course, the Air Deflector should be here at the top. We'll now take the Deflector and we've got 3 pieces of automotive tape here. Now, the great thing about these end channel designed Air Deflectors, you'll see you'd have to put tape here on the outside of your paint. We'll just be sticking on right to the outside just like that. It was great, they serve their purpose, but when they needed to be replaced, get all these tape and stuff running along your vehicle. That's when end channel design has come from. You just want to bring it down to where we can get it fit into the window channel. We'll slide it up into position and then we pull outward on it gently, all the way around to help that seat into place on the outside of our window channel. Then, just like we did on the front, we're going to start bringing our window up. The front edge meets before the rear, so pull out on that first. Once you have that passed, we'll pull out on the rear and bring that on up as well. Now, just like the front, we're going to do 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cycles of the window. Then we're going to leave that window up for 12 to 24 hours to give it plenty of time to seat. With the Air Deflectors installed on our 2014 Toyota Tundra, that will complete today's test fit of the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors. Part number WT82450. .
