Putco Element Window Visors - Tinted - 6 Piece
I like them very easy to install and to keep clean. Helps to keep the rain out and let fresh air in. I would recommend them to a friend.
The rear Rain Guards went on easy. The front was a pain and would not seat properly to allow the window to go up freely. It didn't help that Putco decided to send a QR code to get instructions although install was pretty straight forward since they will only fit one way. The QR code didn't go straight to the site for the instructions. I had to jump through too many hoops and never got there. Whatever happened to just putting the instructions in the box? The window still contacts the front end of the guard. Perhaps it will seat if I leave the window up for a while. Instructions would probably have helped. Packaging was poor as well and although they weren't damaged, I have seen how delivery drivers handle packages and this could have been a problem.

These rain guards look great on my truck. Ive had the stick-on rain guards before and would eventually would have problems. Just follow directions on installing all will work out looking great.

WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guards with Light 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.
