    I understand the rain issue with installing these weatherteck side window deflectors.
    My question is does it make it quieter when the windows are cracked?
    Are these really worth the money and install?

    Horacio... Are those "exterior tape mount" deflectors? If so, where do I get them! I REALLY don't like the in-channel units. Have never had luck with them. They get in the way of window operation and just make everything too tight. I've scratched the edge of my windows with the flange units. UG

    I've been looking all over for the exterior mounts (the kind I've used with great success on every vehicle I've owned for the past ten years). And haven't found them for the Prius. Where????!

    I got mine from Sigma. They are JDM.
    The directions are in Japanese.
    They are tape backed but also come with a couple screw and some little hooks.
    So they travel around in the back of my car until I find a translator.

    I purchased these window shades from Sigma over a year ago, original Jap replacement part (JDM) but I believe they don't carry the same product any longer.
