What's up everybody it's Ajay with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out the WeatherTech wind deflectors for the front and the back of a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. These winter plugs will be a nice addition to your Silverado. Not only do they add a cool look to it, but they're also functional. As in, you know, if it's a rainy day I don't know about you. I don't like driving around with the windows up all the time.
I like them to have crack just a little bit to have some kind of wind flow. So if it's rainy or snowy or the weather's not cooperating you can bring the window down just a little bit and don't have to worry about those elements coming inside. One good thing about these are they're not like the old style where you would stick them out to the outside of your truck. These are custom fit for your Silverado and they go up into the groove of the weather strip on the inside of your window. So there's not going to be tape residue on the outside of your vehicle.
Now I said, they go in the weather strip here and your windows just want to prove you. They don't get in the way of that at all. And just roll and roll them up and show ya. There right in line. There's not going to be any issues with that.
This kits going to come with both of them for the front and the rear. Now, if you want to get them separate you could buy just the front separate or just the rear separate. They aren't that bad to install. It just takes a little bit of patience. Just follow along with us and see how we did it.
To install our first wind deflector we're gonna make sure the windows down already at the front make sure your windows also clean, where they did that. So we're going to try and just work in the corners first start here at the edge, feed them like that. And they recommend you bow it just a little bit to try and get it started here. It'll go in the corner, just like that and then start to work it in from there. So now put the two corners in first and then you kind of work it in from there. That's okay to bow it just a little bit. It will bend and slide in the track, just like that. With that in place. Okay, just pull back on it a little bit and kind of just pulling it out. You're not slotting out, but you're bending it out that way just so when you go to roll the window up and doesn't make contact another thing they give you a specialty tool and they want you to run up into the channel just to kind of help it, push it in place. So it's going to run that up through there and you might hear a snap or something like that as it pushes it a little further into place. I just kind of push up on it while I have that tool in there just to maybe get up further up in that seal but it seems like it's seated in there pretty well. So I think we're ready to roll up the windows. Now we're going to roll the window up all the way five times So just slowly roll it up there and you might hear it push it into place and that's fine. Just make sure it doesn't make contact with it. I think we'll be all right. Let's give it a shot. Now the instruction tell you to go ahead and leave your window up for about 12 hours. There just kind of helps hold it up into place and keeps it there. Installing our back one is going to be a little bit different. We have clips that we have to install first. So they give you the tool to reach up in there and pull down your weather strip. Now I'm going to pull it all the way down to show you where it goes. We have one clip installed already. So pulling this down kind of gets out of the way actually go up above this ridge, not this one. So you got to go up and in there you can see we've already got one clip installed at the top of there. They recommend that you go three inches from there. We're going to go four inches from here. So come back down to here. And that's what we're going to put our clip. So when you go to install the clip you want the side that kind of flares out to face outward. Get it up and in there like that, I'll come back with this tool and that'll help me push it up into place. Right about there. So make sure you look at your back wind deflector here and you want to match up this side with here and you can see this one's a little bit more rounded. So it's going to match this part of the window frame there an easy way to do this is you can just put it in like that and see this parts in and you can slide it down. Now, both sides are in. You don't have to bow it out or anything like that. Then you can tilt it back just a little bit to go up and above those clamps. Cause you want to slide this part, up in that part. So I kind of got it up there and this kind of tilted in, slide it into place. Just like that. Using the tool that gave you to kind of push up on this part. I'm going to do the same thing. Just watch out for the clip. I'm just going to try and just push up just a little bit more. Before we roll up the windows, it looks like it's pretty well seated in there. And just like the front we're going to go up and down five times Looks good! Now you're gonna repeat that same process on the other side. Overall, not that bad of an install. It can be a little intimidating because they are pieces of plastic. You don't want to bend or break them, but it's okay, bend just a little bit, especially on the front ones to install and once you get them in there they go right into place. We didn't have many troubles after that. I think it makes your truck stand out. Look a little bit cooler too, and it's functional. You don't have to worry about the rain coming in the window. If your window is down, I think that about does it thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helped..

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.
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.
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
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
Excellent product, easily installed if you are careful
Easy installation, I can crack the window, get some air while it’s raining out I can leave the windows cracked when we’re parked and nobody knows they’re open
The rear guards are wrong. Too small. The website said "it will fit". Not even close.
Info for this part was:
At etrailer we provide the best information available about the products we sell. We take the quality of our information seriously so that you can get the right part the first time.

My suspicion is that you ordered for a Double Cab, but you actually have a Crew Cab. This would explain why the rears are too short....
