Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer, and today when we talk about the WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards on our 2021 Toyota RAV4. Now, today we got the front and rear ones, and this can be great if you're driving or you want to crack your windows just a little bit. Just either let things air out a little bit, or if it's a hot day, you just need a little bit more air flow in there. And if it's raining, you don't want any of that rain getting inside your vehicle, this is gonna be a great way to prevent that. These rain guards are gonna be constructed from acrylic, so they're gonna have a couple things about them. So they're gonna be pretty durable for what they are, and very flexible too.
So when you're getting them in here, you're gonna be able to bend them just a little bit so you can get a better fit. And it is gonna be tinted, so it's not gonna obstruct your view either. And finally, what I do like about these, they do look factory. You barely even notice them, especially with how far they just pop off. Now, overall, I think it is gonna be a good fit for your car if you're just looking for something just to keep extra rain from getting in your car if you have your windows cracked.
But if you need help installing them, just stay tuned and we'll walk you through it. To start off by installation, we're just gonna lay everything out. So you're gonna have a pair of the front rain guards and then there's gonna be a pair of the rear rain guards, and you're gonna have this included tool too. Now we already have the passenger side installed, so I'll show you how to install the driver's side. So you're gonna have to lower your windows just about halfway, and then you start putting these in.
And the way you wanna do is make sure you have the right one and it should match up the contours of your window. If it does, you know you're on the right path. Then we're gonna line up this tab here with this channel in here, right behind these weather strips, sliding it right into place until everything's lined up. Then when I come on to the other end, right here I'm gonna bend this just slightly until this sticks behind that weather strip and make sure everything is seating properly. I'm gonna grab this included tool, and with it hooked in, we're gonna run this through, making sure everything's seating properly, nothing's getting caught.
And you're just gonna do this a few times, just to make sure you get a good fit. And for the next step, I recommend grabbing a friend. Today we've got Evangeline helping us out, and what she's gonna do is roll up the window just lightly, just doing it very slowly as I'm gonna apply pressure to our rain guard, making sure it sits well. And after when you have it all the way up there, you can repeat this a couple times just to make sure you have a good fit. And our rear rain guard is only be a very similar process. We're just gonna stick it in by one end first, tilt it in an angle, and slide it in just like so, making sure we get under those weather strips until it gets lined up at the top and everything's seating properly. Now I'm gonna move on to the rear rain guards. And really the only difference is we're gonna have these two strips right here, and these strips, if you pull them off, you'll have an adhesive underneath here so it sticks into place. So make sure you take those off. We're not gonna take them off since this is just for demonstration purposes, but we're just gonna put this in at an angle like I'm doing right now, and then line it up with this channel underneath that weather strip. And then apply pressure. It might bend a little bit, but these do have a little bit of flex to them until everything's lined up and sitting underneath all the weather strips. And again, you'll just run your tool through underneath here again, and afterwards you'll roll up your window very slowly while applying pressure to your rain guard. And after, when it's all the way up there, you just repeat this a couple times, and then you should be good. And my final recommendation is just rolling up your windows all the way and just having it sit like this for a day, so these rain guards can really form and fit to the shape of your windows. But after that, that'll complete the installation and some of the features of our WeatherTech Rain Guards on our 2021 Toyota RAV4.

Ratings & Reviews
I bought just the fronts for my silver 2nd gen CRV which was nice. Install was easy as you just flex them abit and install in the window channels. First few widow "ups" would trip the safety and send them back down.
Helped keep the car cool but ended up getting the rears and that helped more. I normally lower the widows ~1/2 the vent depth and only some blowing snow has entered.
Can rip the highway with window lowered some without the usual buffering and noise.
Only home wash all my cars so don't know how they would stand up to gas station washers.
Lower profile,nicer look and no big lip as on the peel and stick type.
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.
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..
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.
Easy installation
It was actually for my dads truck and here’s what he had to say:
The items were received in a properly packaged box and in good condition. The instructions were straightforward, clear and concise. Installation went smoothly and was completed in a relatively short amount of time. The fitment was precise. I went with the adhesive style, as they appear to be more secure. This style offers less wind noise, in my opinion. Additionally, they offer proper water protection (deflection) along with sleek looks. I definitely recommend this product and etrailer was great from start to finish.
Great product and fast shipping
The rear guards are wrong. Too small. The website said "it will fit". Not even close.
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
WeatherTech products looks fantastic but can be a pain in the rear to install. Keeping the product in the sun makes it a bit more flexible. But I do recommend the product to keep those windows cracked and water out.
I’ve bought these for several of my vehicles. I considered them essential equipment for adventure travel. The model made for my 2016 Subaru Forester is not up to the same standard as the other units I purchased for other models. The shaping / contour actually sucks rain and moisture into the vehicle, rendering this model virtually useless. Generally I consider this a good product, but not this particular version.
When I ordered these side window air deflectors it was noted not confirmed to fit but I’m confirming it now and they work great and easy to install
Very good fit. Profile of the deflector is barely noticeable. Did not interfere with the window operation. When traveling, no whistling noises.
First of all etrailer is a very good place to buy stuff for your car truck or trailer, I have done it all and they’re great. The weather tech side window rain guards which I bought for my new car fit perfect and look great. I bought my items from a lady named Joy she was very easy to talk to, very pleasant and very upscale. Joy knew what she was talking about And answered all questions very well
My weathertech sun shield fits great and looks good. I was glad when they arrived in good condition. Was worried they would have damage to it.
The front deflectors fitted great; however, the rear deflectors were 3.5 inches too short. Caroline did a great job trying to find out why they were short. She called Weather Tech and did not find out why. I ordered the ones that I was told to.
We could not find anyone to tell us why they were short.
I would like to compliment Caroline on her assistance and how hard she worked for me on this matter.
The front ones work well, however the wrong size was sent for the rear windows. We just sent them back and have not reordered because they only come in sets for both front and rear windows and it seems wasteful to order another full set.
The WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear Look great on my vehicle, being the type that mount inside the window channels makes for a much better look. The lines of the vehicle remain the same but better ventilation is possible without showing that the windows are down just a bit. Very happy with this purchase.
Profile of the deflector is close fitting to the window frame so not very noticeable. Does not interfere with the window operation. No whistling noise when driving with the windows slightly open under the deflector.
Great service and good video on how to install it on my truck. Appreciate the emails sent to advise me about when I should get it. Easy installation thanks to both Weather Tech instructions and trailer video. What’s to say other than great product and good quality and trailer is tops in service. Also fair pricing.
Thanks
I love them and they were easy to install on my RAV4
It performed perfectly and it's what we wanted
Awesome job on shipping.
The weather tech 4 piece rain guards just as described. Transaction was hassle free and delivered promptly. Communication was top notch. Will order from etrailer when the need arises. Highly recommend this company.
