Hello neighbors, Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at these WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guard/Air Deflectors for the front of your 2020 through 2024 Ford Explorer. Now folks, these are a custom fit application. Please ensure you're double checking that fit with our fit guide here at etrailer.com. Enter the year, make and model at the top center of our homepage in the Vehicle Information tab. Now folks, these do reduce wind noise and they also allow that interior heat to escape from the vehicle when you're parked and that kind of thing.
So you've got these installed, it's a hot day, you crack your windows about a half inch to an inch, give or take, and then that's gonna let that hot air vent out and keep the inside of your vehicle much cooler for when you get back inside. And if it rains, it's also gonna let you get some nice fresh air and keep the water out. Now they do install very quick and easy. You simply slide these up inside the window channel and there's no exterior tape needed, like some other brands out there. This installation tool here, it's kinda like a mini crowbar, if you will.
The first thing it's gonna help you do is clean out the inside of that window track with maybe some paper towel and some cleaner. But then it's also gonna let you help install these and help get them inside of that window track a lot easier. What we do here at etrailer and what I recommend is let the vehicle sit in the sun for a few hours. That's gonna help warm things up, all those rubber seals and gaskets inside the window channel and that channel itself will just be a little bit looser and easier to install these. Now once they are installed, they do boost a nice low profile, original OEM equipment look, and they offer exceptional durability with this three millimeter thick construction of acrylic.
So they do have a nice little dark tint to 'em. You can still see through it, but it also gives you that nice look on the outside of your vehicle. Now again, you're gonna get a set up front, so it's gonna fit your front driver and passenger side windows. They have a nice three year warranty. And again, this is our look at the WeatherTech Side Window Rain Guard/Air Deflectors.
I'm Steven, thank you for your time, thanks for watching. Have a great day.

Let fresh air in while keeping bad weather out. These darkly tinted air deflectors reduce wind noise and help to keep interior temperatures low by promoting better air circulation in your vehicle.First bad experience with a WeatherTech product. Do not recommend for 2010-2014 Ford Expedition or similar models. I see 4 flaws.
3 of 4 pieces cracked at the corner even when I tried to be as gentle as possible in incrementally raising windows once installed. It seems to be just a few millimeters too oversized.
Second, Rear windows will not raise all the way back in place due to thickness of plastic, it stops. You have to push windshield up while holding the switch.
I was worried that this force would damage the window tint due to excess friction and it may push the rubber out to the point it would be damaged if I took them off months or years later.
Third, and arguably the most important. Too much wind noise. The Ford Expedition is very quiet for an SUV. I tried these for close to a week and I had to take them off. It sounded like gusty wind noise even when there was no wind other then the vehicle going through the air. I removed them and the SUV was quiet again.
Four, It isn't optically correct. Hard to see in the photo, but when looking at the area between the A pillar and side mirror, it's wavy and distracting. Also makes the A pillar appear much larger when it's darker outside due to the tint.
So even though they look nice, and you can crack your windows in the rain if your car is sitting still or you never exceed 50 mph... I wasn't able to get comfortable with the above issues. I can't return them since I installed them and tried them. But hopefully someone else can benefit from this.
It’s still early. I did the upgrade while in a walking boot (cannot drive) due to an Achilles rupture. So I can only comment on the install, which was much easier on the back windows. The front windows were a little awkward but eventually went in. I don’t like the ‘clunk’ as the window closes in the last inch or so. The window comes in contact with the deflector and clunks. I hope the plastic heats / cools and reforms as it sits over the next few days. Otherwise I like the look and finish, it’s just the fit which I’m not completely convinced off yet.
These weather tech side window rain guards are really well made. Front ones installed easily and allow us to crack open the windows even in the rain. I could not for the life of me install the rear ones, or I would have given them 5 stars.
The front rain guards fit my 2023 Passport perfectly. The rears weren't setting correctly in the window seal and neither rear window would roll up completely. Also, when I remove the two rear rain guards, I noticed the thinnest part, which is supposed to go between the window seal and the glass had broken in use. I have no patience for this, so I threw the rears in the trash. In retrospect, I'd have have rated these a 5 if I'd only purchased the fronts.
I put these window deflectors on my 2018 Chevrolet Cruze LT. I love the look it gives on my car, and the option it gives me when it is raining to roll down my window. I would give this a 5-star rating and 100% recommendation
I didn't know how much I would love these rain guards until I finally bought and installed them. Install is easy. etrailer shipping quickly. It's been a year and they have held up to the sun and rain, and look brand new still. They work GREAT. Highly recommend!
Love these, much better than the ones that stick to the outside of the door frame. They tuck in nice and sleek, are great for keeping the rain out. Put them on all my cars now.
Very satisfied and pleased with my purchase experience from etrailer and the weather-tech side door window guards.
Glad I finally converted to weather tech. Installation was simple and no need of vht tapes.
Fitment is perfect, real clean low profile look , as if they belong there.
Highly recommend etrailer and the quality products they offer and professional experience . Top notch customer communication!
Looking forward to working with them for future purchases..
They wouldn’t stay on the front windows with the window rolled down, the drivers side blew off, so I removed the passenger side. The rears are snug 2018 lexus gx 460.
Love the rain guards.
Easy installation, arrived fast and great price!
Looks good and easy to install, just watch the installation videos.
What else would you expect from weathertech??? Proven quality!!
Easy to install, though took a little gentle extra effort to "encourage" them into the window frames. It causes just a little wind noise, but that is expected, as it impedes the aerodynamics of the car.
My package arrived in ok condition! Way to much much room to be shaken and be destroyed. Luckily mine arrived ok. Some of the original packaging was dented and deformed do to over sized box! I got lucky!
Easy to install
Easy install. Arrived within week of ordering. They work great on my class c motorhome.
Don't look to close. I think that products coming from a company that prides itself on custom fit, the fit would be better. The reveal along the top is very uneven. Instructions say to roll window up very slowly, right, power windows. First time up, crack, :( . Luckily the cracked piece is small and hidden.
paid the little extra to go with these well made and excellent fitting window vents as other "stick ons" just dont last. I bought from etrailer as they track shipping and assure delivery.
very pleased!
highly recommend WeathTech & etrailer
Good fit after a finnicky installation. The front guards do not use an adhesive to install, just pressure, so time will tell how they hold up, but initial impressions are good.
Living in Florida I can tell you I really crack my windows.
I get my car washed 2 to 3 times a month and I have not had any problems with them. I am very happy I invested in them.
Unfortunately the rain Guards don't work properly on my vehicle, the minute they sense the rain Guards the window retracts in the open position,and I can't close my windows.
I will be looking to return these if I can't fix the issue ,or if possible return for a rain guard that has a self adhesive that sticks on the outside of the window trim.
Thanks S
Installed easy but had one small break near the top when installing. Also, I noticed the window motors seem sluggish at the last inch or so, though it does seems to seal well. I hope that will not cause any issues with the motors down the road.
They look great
I know and have used the product before. That's why I ordered it. The only issue is that I was originally told it would be delivered on the 28th of Nov. It arrived on Dec. 2nd. I always have a good experience with etrailer.
