Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors With Dark Tinting for the front. It is a two piece set. That's going to be part number WT80739. It's also available in light tinting using part number WT70739.Here's what our air deflectors look like. They're going to allow us to have fresh air come in the vehicle without having any of the bad weather. Not only is our wind deflector going to cut down on noise when we're driving down the road, but they're also going to allow hot air to escape, and allow fresh air to come in.
Our deflectors are going to have a three millimeter acrylic construction, and they're going to have that low profile design, giving it that original look.Our deflectors are going to install quickly and easily, and they're going to install in between the window channel here, so no exterior tape is needed. They do come in a pair for the driver and passenger side. Let's show you how easy it is to get them installed.Before we begin our installation, I just want to go over which one of our window deflectors goes on each side. Each of them is going to have a small tab or arm that's going to come out from this horizontal piece. Whatever side that's on, so for instance this one is on the left side, this is going to be for the left side of the vehicle, or the driver side.
The other one, since it's on the right, is going to go on the right side, or the passenger side.The first thing you're going to want to do is make sure that your windows are clean and dry. Then you're going to roll them down about half way. Then we can take our air deflector, and we're going to take the channel that has that tab coming down. We're going to make sure that this bottom piece is resting on that weather stripping here. We're going to put it in between the glass in this channel right here.Once we have this side pushed into the front section of our window, we're going to take the back section and we're going to bow it out slightly, so we can get the back section into the channel.
But this time when we put it in place, we're going to want to leave about a quarter to a half inch gap right here at the top.Now with the two corers in, we're going to start on the front. We're going to start pulling it in and making sure that it's all the way in the track between our window here and the seal. We're going to start on the front and work our way towards the back. Now that the deflector's seated all the way, we're going to carefully pull outward, away from the truck, to get it fully seated.Now with this air deflector in place, we're going to roll our window up slowly in small increments, making sure that we can close it all the way. We're going to do that five times.
If you are having trouble getting the window rolled up all the way, per the instructions they do suggest that you have an extra set of hands help grab the window and push it up while you're raising the window, to make sure everything's seated in the channel correctly. Now that we have this one installed, we're going to go and repeat the same process on the passenger side.That will finish up our look at the WeatherTech Side Window Air Deflectors on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado.

Let fresh air in while keeping bad weather out. These heavily tinted rain guards keep your interior dry, reduce wind noise, and help to keep temperatures down by promoting better air circulation in your vehicle.
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.
These weather tech side window rain guards are really well made. Front ones installed easily and allow us to crack open the windows even in the rain. I could not for the life of me install the rear ones, or I would have given them 5 stars.
The front rain guards fit my 2023 Passport perfectly. The rears weren't setting correctly in the window seal and neither rear window would roll up completely. Also, when I remove the two rear rain guards, I noticed the thinnest part, which is supposed to go between the window seal and the glass had broken in use. I have no patience for this, so I threw the rears in the trash. In retrospect, I'd have have rated these a 5 if I'd only purchased the fronts.
I put these window deflectors on my 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT. I love the look it gives on my car, and the option it gives me when it is raining to roll down my window. I would give this a 5-star rating and 100% recommendation
I didn't know how much I would love these rain guards until I finally bought and installed them. Install is easy. etrailer shipping quickly. It's been a year and they have held up to the sun and rain, and look brand new still. They work GREAT. Highly recommend!
Love these, much better than the ones that stick to the outside of the door frame. They tuck in nice and sleek, are great for keeping the rain out. Put them on all my cars now.
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..
They wouldn’t stay on the front windows with the window rolled down, the drivers side blew off, so I removed the passenger side. The rears are snug 2018 lexus gx 460.
Love the rain guards.
Easy installation, arrived fast and great price!
Looks good and easy to install, just watch the installation videos.
What else would you expect from weathertech??? Proven quality!!
Easy to install, though took a little gentle extra effort to "encourage" them into the window frames. It causes just a little wind noise, but that is expected, as it impedes the aerodynamics of the car.
My package arrived in ok condition! Way to much much room to be shaken and be destroyed. Luckily mine arrived ok. Some of the original packaging was dented and deformed do to over sized box! I got lucky!
Easy to install
Easy install. Arrived within week of ordering. They work great on my class c motorhome.
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.
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
Good fit after a finnicky installation. The front guards do not use an adhesive to install, just pressure, so time will tell how they hold up, but initial impressions are good.
Living in Florida I can tell you I really crack my windows.
I get my car washed 2 to 3 times a month and I have not had any problems with them. I am very happy I invested in them.
