Installed hood deflector, in-channel vent visors and hood seal.
Finally installed my hood deflector and WeatherTech in-channel vent visors today.
The hood deflector I purchased from ToyotaPartsStore. It's the exact same one sold by Toyota in Canada and that Garm / cali yaris sells in his MicroImage Online store. Here it is: The deflector does protect most of the leading edge of the hood (a detail which usually can't be seen unless you're up close) and obviously protects a portion of the hood's surface. Here are the WeatherTech in-channel vent visors: I also did Kou's hood seal mod. I did it a little differently though. I ordered 4 feet of this: http://soffseal.com/SearchByPart.asp Part #: E006A and just stuck it on. This weatherstrip comes pre-attached to double sided 3M weather-proof tape. 4 feet was a little long so I just cut it to the length I needed. |

Looks awesome. Being in Canada, I have the same deflector installed as a dealer option when I bought the car. Functional and visually appealing.
I also have the in-channel window visors for my 5-door. These are Genuine Toyota visors, supplied as a dealer option. They have the Toyota logo in the same location as the Weathertech logo that yours has. Stock photo. |

keep us updated on the fitment of the visors from WeatherTech. Some have complained about them falling off

I have a feeling the same company makes WeatherTech's and Toyota's in-channel vent visors. Both have that little part at the front that go down for the front windows. When I had a 3-door LB, that part on both sides kept pulling out on their own. Ended up returning them. I believe another member here actually had his WeatherTechs fall out while driving on the highway.
With these new WeatherTechs for the 5-door LB, the two for the back doors both have double sided tape pre-applied. For the front doors, I put strips of 3M double sided weather proof tape on the part that goes downwards to keep them from pulling out on their own this time. |

I am curious on the extra hood seal....... will it do anything that will help? I would worry it would freeze the hood shut in the ice around here.

Any seal will freeze when it's cold enough and there's residual moisture and/or moisture period. I don't recommend it for that reason |

Why don't you try it? The weatherstrip is cheap. You obviously live somewhere where it cold enough for things outside to freeze.

Now... if you live somewhere where it doesn't freeze, this mod is just fine. |
