Hi, everybody. Steven here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at our WeatherTech side window air deflectors with dark tinting. It's gonna be a four-piece front and rear set. Now folks, this is for the 2017 to 2023 GMC Acadia. That being said, make sure you double check our fit guide here at etrailer.com to be sure you're getting the right parts the first time.
And sometimes videos could be outdated and it could potentially fit newer makes and models as well. Now, window deflectors are gonna do just that. They're gonna deflect the wind and the rain, but also let the heat vent out, escape, while the vehicle has the window down slightly. And then also when it's raining outside, you can have your window vented and not get water and stuff inside. They install pretty quickly and easily inside your window channel.
There's no exterior tape needed, at least on the front ones. On the rear ones, there's a small piece of adhesive tape on both of the sides, but it's very, very minimal. It's really just kinda a placeholder more than anything. These are going up inside of that window channel, and that's what separates WeatherTech from the other brands out there. They boast a low-profile original OE look and they offer exceptional durability with their three millimeter thick acrylic construction.
So they're flexible, you're not gonna break these pretty easily. They're very nice. And again, these fit the front and rear, both driver and passenger side windows, and of course they're approved by the DOT as far as safety use on the roads and that kind of stuff. They're gonna give you a little installation tool to assist you in installation. And there's two metal clips.
These are for the front two. So the front ones are these longer ones, obviously. And the rears are the shorter ones. And again, same concept, window channel. It's gonna let you vent out heat and also let fresh air in. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up for our quick look together. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
Look beauty and Excellent After a year, WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Dark Tinting - Front on my Sprinter 2007
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..
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.
etrailer was great, the directions from Weather Tech are awful. After watching a few videos provided by etrailer I was able to get them installed.
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.
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.
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.
Easy installation
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
Great product and fast shipping
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.
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.
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
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.
Very good fit. Profile of the deflector is barely noticeable. Did not interfere with the window operation. When traveling, no whistling noises.
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 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.
Fit perfect
great for leaving the windows open so heat can escape,downfall is more wind noise inside when completly up on 2019 gmc acadia with omly 16,000 .
Fast Delivery! Perfect Fit! Streamline and Low Profile Design! Works Great to keep water from coming in!
