WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear - 4 Piece
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.
It’s still early. I did the upgrade while in a walking boot (cannot drive) due to an Achilles rupture. So I can only comment on the install, which was much easier on the back windows. The front windows were a little awkward but eventually went in. I don’t like the ‘clunk’ as the window closes in the last inch or so. The window comes in contact with the deflector and clunks. I hope the plastic heats / cools and reforms as it sits over the next few days. Otherwise I like the look and finish, it’s just the fit which I’m not completely convinced off yet.

WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Dark Tinting - Front and Rear - 4 Piece
This is a great product but I had to make a few mods to it to make it work for my car. I've got a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. The little front stop bracket pieces made it difficult for the front window deflectors stay in place so I removed them to see how it'd fit and it still wouldn't sit right. The little non-slip bits of tape melted right off after 1 hot day and the deflector would eventually slip out after a couple of window rolls. So I got some double-sided gorilla tape and placed it just on the front diagonal side to hold it in place so it wouldn't slip. I then used a new, sharp razor blade to bevel cut the tape so it would slide in without rolling over on itself. I didn't put the little bracket in because it sat fine without interfering with the window path. Since it's still hot out I let the tape bake into the the window channel with the windows closed for 2 days. Haven't had a problem since.
Does not fit a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek as described. Front windows do not close, especially an automatic window. Seems like you would have to trim the edges which defeats the purpose of buying an item that fits the make/model of the car. Even if I trimmed the edges, it is a tight squeeze. Disappointing, but customer service was understanding and courteous. Great quality...if they fit. Sad story.

WeatherTech Sunroof Rain Guard
Honda PilotThe WeatherTech Sunroof Wind Deflector works perfectly on my Honda Pilot.
I have a 2015 Toyota Rav4 it works perfect. Since my speaker phone is right next to the sunroof there was a bunch of noise if the sunroof was open. This product looks good fits perfect and really helps with the noise level. Love it!
