weather tech side window deflectors

I have not, but I'd recommend trying it. The back ones are a hassle to install, and they don't fit as tightly. Sometimes they rattle, depending upon which windows I have open, etc.

I should have taken pictures...I bought both front and rear, but only installed the front...looked at it and thought it was assymetrical (I am a true melancholy). So I have them both installed, and love them

 

No, the weatherflectors don't use tape at all. (that's why I use them; I've had the tape-on kind on prior vehicles and didn't like them...could either see the tape through the things, or they eventually fell off.)

the front ones are held in only by the tension. you sort of flex/bend them when you slide them up into your window channel. they hold in very well.

on the Prius, the back window top is pretty straight, so there isn't enough tension for them to stay in by themselves. so, you are given a couple of little metal clips (per side) that you stick up into the rubber seal before installing the things. there are a number of threads here about how poor the instructions were, how to best install them, etc.

if you've already purchased the set of 4, I would recommend just putting them all in. If not, I'd probably just buy the fronts and see whether the look of fronts alone look OK and, if so, skipping the backs. There's really not much reason to have them on the back (except for looks). Or, maybe using tape-on kind on the backs.

I think it would look funny to have only the fronts installed, but that's up to you. The backs do the same thing as the fronts - the windows can be left open a bit without letting the rain or the burglars in. And mine were easy to install - the dealer did it.
