Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the WeatherTech side window air deflectors with dark tinting for the front. And that's going to be Part Number WT-80766. That's also available with light tinting, using Part Number WT-70766.So here's what our air deflectors look like on our Colorado. These are going to be available for the front only, for the rear only, or as a complete set where we'll get the front and rear. The deflectors are going to come in handy in a lot of different situations. For instance, if it's raining outside and you want to let some of that stale air out of the vehicle and let some of that fresh air come in but not get wet, these are going to keep the window covered enough that it will let air out, but water can't get inside.
It's also going to come in handy on those rainy days where it may be hot, but you know it's going to rain later on. Well, we can leave our window cracked like we have here so we won't have all that heat building up inside whenever we go to get in our car later.Each one of our deflectors is going to be made out of a three millimeter thick acrylic construction, so they're going to be extremely flexible, but also very durable and hold up over time.Now what I really like about these is the design. They're going to have a really sleek design to them, real low-profile, they're not going to stick out real far like some of the older ones. And these are going to actually go inside the window channel rather than the ones that go onto the outside of our door frame when we have that double-sided tape sticking on.Another benefit of the in-channel design is that we're going to have this entire vertical section of our window covered as well, so as we roll the window down, we're still going to have coverage from the front so we don't have to worry about any kind of rain or anything else coming into our window. So if you want to roll your window down on those rainy days but not get wet, these are going to be a great option, while still looking really nice and having that low-profile design.
So now that we've seen what they look like and gone over some of the features, let's show you how easy it is to get them installed.To begin your installation, you want to make sure your window's completely rolled down. Then we can grab our front window deflector. Now, you're going to just know it's the right size and it's the front because it's going to contour along with the window here. So we'll take this front piece and we're going to put it into the window channel. And this bottom edge here is going to rest right on the windowsill.Now, we want to leave this corner out for now and we're going to bend it slightly so we can get this back section in like this.
And then, we're going to start working the deflector in, and as we start working it in, we're going to want to slide this back section up at the same time. And we just kind of make sure it sits in there all the way. Once we have it in, we're going to want to gently pry away from the vehicle, just a little bit, to make sure it seats in there all the way. And then we're going to want to open the door and run the window up and down at least five times. And this will help make sure that it seats fully in the channel there.
So with this one installed, we can move to the other side and put that one in as well.That'll finish up your look at the WeatherTech side window air deflectors for the front on our 2016 Chevrolet Colorado.

Very easier installed
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.
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.
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
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.
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
