Group Buy #001: WeatherTech Side Window Deflectors

onerpm · 03-18-2006, 06:11 PM

I've had some of these for about 9 months, and I love them. Never again with the tape-on kind. The instructions were vague on putting in the rear ones with the clips. They look right, but I'm not sure I put them in the right way. I had leaks at a car wash for awhile, but that seems to have fixed itself. No problems with power windows. I hope the group buy is still going when my wife and I get our 2006's shortly.

I had the tape on one's from Toyota Canada on my 2004 Prius and loved them. I keep reading about about the WeatherShield ones and like their looks but aren't sure about how they'll treat windows that have film on them. I live in Florida and think its necessary to have the deflectors and tinted windows for parking in the sun. I seldom drive with the windows open so its just for parking.

Do you think they are as quiet and waterproof as the tape on ones?

I think they are quieter than the tape on ones. However, I haven't had the tape on ones on a prius, only on other vehicles in the past. I've had problems with those eventually starting to fall off.

As far as waterproof, I have had no problem with the front ones (they bend and sort of snap in, awesome), but on the Prius, you have to use some clips on the rear ones, and I have had problems with leakage on those, but only in a high pressure car wash.

The ClimAir (WeatherFlector) on my '98 4Runner (installed in Nov of '97) still functions flawlessly today just like day one.

But the Prius rear ones are not exactly easy to install...

Hello, I just purchased a 2008 Prius last week and found your web site while surfing. Great information posted. I live in the Pacific Northwest, (Seattle area). I only have driven the car 300 miles so far. I'm overwhelmed with all the bells and whistles. So it's just drive from point A to B. As time goes by I'll start experimenting with the displays. I do have a technical question regarding WeatherTech deflectors but don't know if this is the correct section for it. Thanks.
