Video Transcript for WeatherTech Side Window Front and Rear Rain Guards Installation - 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
What's up everybody it's Ajay with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out the WeatherTech wind deflectors for the front and the back of a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. These winter plugs will be a nice addition to your Silverado. Not only do they add a cool look to it, but they're also functional. As in, you know, if it's a rainy day I don't know about you. I don't like driving around with the windows up all the time.
I like them to have crack just a little bit to have some kind of wind flow. So if it's rainy or snowy or the weather's not cooperating you can bring the window down just a little bit and don't have to worry about those elements coming inside. One good thing about these are they're not like the old style where you would stick them out to the outside of your truck. These are custom fit for your Silverado and they go up into the groove of the weather strip on the inside of your window. So there's not going to be tape residue on the outside of your vehicle.
Now I said, they go in the weather strip here and your windows just want to prove you. They don't get in the way of that at all. And just roll and roll them up and show ya. There right in line. There's not going to be any issues with that.
This kits going to come with both of them for the front and the rear. Now, if you want to get them separate you could buy just the front separate or just the rear separate. They aren't that bad to install. It just takes a little bit of patience. Just follow along with us and see how we did it.
To install our first wind deflector we're gonna make sure the windows down already at the front make sure your windows also clean, where they did that. So we're going to try and just work in the corners first start here at the edge, feed them like that. And they recommend you bow it just a little bit to try and get it started here. It'll go in the corner, just like that and then start to work it in from there. So now put the two corners in first and then you kind of work it in from there. That's okay to bow it just a little bit. It will bend and slide in the track, just like that. With that in place. Okay, just pull back on it a little bit and kind of just pulling it out. You're not slotting out, but you're bending it out that way just so when you go to roll the window up and doesn't make contact another thing they give you a specialty tool and they want you to run up into the channel just to kind of help it, push it in place. So it's going to run that up through there and you might hear a snap or something like that as it pushes it a little further into place. I just kind of push up on it while I have that tool in there just to maybe get up further up in that seal but it seems like it's seated in there pretty well. So I think we're ready to roll up the windows. Now we're going to roll the window up all the way five times So just slowly roll it up there and you might hear it push it into place and that's fine. Just make sure it doesn't make contact with it. I think we'll be all right. Let's give it a shot. Now the instruction tell you to go ahead and leave your window up for about 12 hours. There just kind of helps hold it up into place and keeps it there. Installing our back one is going to be a little bit different. We have clips that we have to install first. So they give you the tool to reach up in there and pull down your weather strip. Now I'm going to pull it all the way down to show you where it goes. We have one clip installed already. So pulling this down kind of gets out of the way actually go up above this ridge, not this one. So you got to go up and in there you can see we've already got one clip installed at the top of there. They recommend that you go three inches from there. We're going to go four inches from here. So come back down to here. And that's what we're going to put our clip. So when you go to install the clip you want the side that kind of flares out to face outward. Get it up and in there like that, I'll come back with this tool and that'll help me push it up into place. Right about there. So make sure you look at your back wind deflector here and you want to match up this side with here and you can see this one's a little bit more rounded. So it's going to match this part of the window frame there an easy way to do this is you can just put it in like that and see this parts in and you can slide it down. Now, both sides are in. You don't have to bow it out or anything like that. Then you can tilt it back just a little bit to go up and above those clamps. Cause you want to slide this part, up in that part. So I kind of got it up there and this kind of tilted in, slide it into place. Just like that. Using the tool that gave you to kind of push up on this part. I'm going to do the same thing. Just watch out for the clip. I'm just going to try and just push up just a little bit more. Before we roll up the windows, it looks like it's pretty well seated in there. And just like the front we're going to go up and down five times Looks good! Now you're gonna repeat that same process on the other side. Overall, not that bad of an install. It can be a little intimidating because they are pieces of plastic. You don't want to bend or break them, but it's okay, bend just a little bit, especially on the front ones to install and once you get them in there they go right into place. We didn't have many troubles after that. I think it makes your truck stand out. Look a little bit cooler too, and it's functional. You don't have to worry about the rain coming in the window. If your window is down, I think that about does it thanks for hanging out. And I hope this helped..

Easy installation, I can crack the window, get some air while it’s raining out I can leave the windows cracked when we’re parked and nobody knows they’re open

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.
by: West Coast Bob 4704/18/2024
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.
by: Erica06/20/2023
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
by: Steve01/19/2023
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!
by: Michael 04/27/2024
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.
by: James01/25/2022
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.

Looks good and easy to install, just watch the installation videos.

What else would you expect from weathertech??? Proven quality!!
by: Carol02/07/2024
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.
by: James02/02/2024
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
by: Peter 03/09/2024
Easy install. Arrived within week of ordering. They work great on my class c motorhome.
by: Tim04/28/2020
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.
by: Jesse 12/11/2023
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.
by: Charles07/06/2020
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
by: Sandra 03/27/2024
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.
