Weathertech Vent visor review

[Chaad32]

I just installed these WeatherTech vent visors on my L/B and I love them. they not only fit like a glove but they look really nice too. They in no way indibit the use of the window (I have manual windows but it is still really easy to roll them up so I know there would be no probolem with power windows). There is a video that you can watch that shows just how to install them ( http://www.weathertech.com/service/installation.asp ) and it worked just how they showed. Install took about 5 min for both. Here are some pics. If you all need more details just ask and I'll be happy to answer anything I can.

nice match you dont really notice it

[kty75]

easy to install ?
oh !? is that Sedan Side Window Deflectors also fit 5Dr liftback, ?
cuz there is only 2 option, 3Dr, and Sedan

[TRD_Yaris]

it looks pretty good!! do they seem to be very functional? do you ride with your windows partially down or smoke out of them?

[07WYarisRS]

do they come in a darker tint?

[Ran Kizama]

What exactly do these do? Block rain?

[boxerboy]

They look good and should be useful.

[bigsky2]

What exactly do these do? Block rain?

To some extent, yes.

They are suppossed to redirect rain away from the top of the window, and in some instances it can redirect wind so it doesn't create such a drag effect when your windows are down.

And yes, it's good for people who smoke :smoking:

[Chaad32]

They keep rain out when you are parked so you can keep you windows cracked and let the heat out in the summer.

They are also easy to install.

[Chaad32]

do they come in a darker tint?

WeatherTech said they only come in this one tint

I would not think so....the lady at the weatherTech phone number seemed really knowledgable though. You should go to their website and call the number.

[Buckethead]

great thread!

Opinion needed.... I'm thinking of getting these. What would look better all 4 or just 2?

Let me know! I've got a sedan flint mica colored.


Thanks!


:cool:

[Chaad32]

Go all four......just two looks awkward.

[casterqc]

I sent an e-mail to weathertechcanada.com to know if they were making a darker tint (just to be sure)...it took them 3 days to answer me: "we would suggest using part # 70408 your price is $82.95" Doh!:clap: ...so they didn't answer my question.

Also, it is 15$ for shipping and they don't have a distributor near me...so I'll go with Toyota ones instead...they'll cost less.

I'm planning on getting my windows tinted soon. Should I stick my WeatherTech Vent Visors on first or wait until after my windows are tinted. I'm concerned about the Vent Visors damaging the tint film.

[casterqc]

Vent visors are on the exterior side of the window. The tint film is put on the interior side...so yes, you can put your vent visors before getting your windows tinted.

Usually vent visors don't even touch the window's surface because you stick them on your doors. The Weathertech and the Toyota ones are "clip in" (for Toyota it is only for the front windows)...so I guess it maybe touch the window's surface...but not from the interior.

....this is my 100th post on this forum..yahooo!:thumbup: :biggrin:

Well, I just purchased them so i gotta wait for them to come in. But as soon as i hit the purchase button a question about them popped in my head. How easy are they to take off if i decide i don't want them on anymore?

they are easy to remove they slide into the window channels,

they can damage your tint,as they did on my pt cruiser, they fit in the window channel, thus forcing the window towards the inside of the car, creating a tighter fit against the window channel, which over time caused minor scratch's to my window tint.
but i will buy again for my sedan, they look awesome.

[W.A.S.P]

Good job! I got the same ones!

[gonzo452001]

My toyota dealer told me he couldn't get the OEM vent visors I got the weather tech ones look great 61.00 with shipping took longer to get the box open than to install

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

JUST ORDERED the weathertech ones at 38.00 plus tax. im hoping that im gonna like them.....

[redyaris]

And you guys complain about my chrome fetish! Plastic stick-on thingies on the windows! Non-smokers rejoice that we dont need these.

[greenguynynj]

Simple question: when you order the weathertech vent visors and you choose "1" as the quantity, is it a 1 package that contains two visors, or do you need to order 1 for each window?

Thanks all!

[kurokoma-kun]

how do they look?

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

look at the white hatch a few posts up....

Thanks all! just order 1

[Vic-2NZFE]

Anyone knows were can i get vent visors for old generation Yaris?

[Kioshi]

they damage the tints? Because I'm getting my windows tinted within one month and was looking all over for vent visors but, reading that it damages the tints (upper part), I may reconsider.

Is there any way around it, because I dont like my tints damaged or start coming off..

thanks in advance guys~

P.S. W.A.S.P......where did you get the rear mirrors turn signal lights? I see that your from NY, so I thought I could fit it on my Californian Yaris....considering I drive through heavy traffic every day.It would be quite useful against stupid ignorant drivers on the freeway for me~

Little story about weathertech:

I ordered the weathetech's deflectors on May 12. On May 14, I got a message from them telling me they were out of stock...so I waited.

On June 4 I was getting impatient so I asked them what was happening with the order, they answered the next day to tell me they should arrive at the shop the same week.

On June 22, after not having any news on my order, I decided to send them a message to cancel my order. The funny thing is that they seemed to be ignoring me because I didn't get any cancellation confirmation or answer.

Today I send another message, and while I am writing this post, I finally get the answer: "Please consider your order cancelled".

I think they were insulted by the fact I told them that 1 month and a half was a long wait for two little pieces of plastic...or is it just me?

The end...that was my story.

I'm going to give them a call and see if they first have it in stock. I'm getting my windows tinted tomorrow $300 for five and I want these vents to go with them within a couple of days..I wouldnt wait more than 2 weeks.

Yeah, my wife has some on her '05 Echo RS. They seem to add some wind noise. But they came with it and she likes it.

[seriousfun]

I have the Weathertechs on my '07 Black LB (I used to have them on a minivan, received as a gift, and I liked them) (Weathertech seems to have some of the better customer service around - I also got some mats from them at one time - sorry to hear about casterqc's problems).

IMO when the windows are down at or below the visors, wind noise is far less than if the windows were down this far without the visors. I live near the ocean where it's 20 degrees F cooler than where I work, so after a day in the sun this helps the car cool-off quicker without using AC. They're also great in the rain. And nobody smokes in my car.
