Thanks Rob. I’ve been wrestling with the rear clip installation do to pulling on the front of the weather stripping instead of the inside. Thank you so much for the visual!!👍
After watching your video, I'm pretty sure now I'm going with the in-channel option to try. I too was weary about the adhesive. Changing it out on my CRV was a pain. Left quite a bit of the adhesive on the door trim to scrape off. Plus I have a 2 week old Tacoma and don't want that to happen to it too. So..... thanks!
Ordered a set for my 23 TRD Sport. Should arrive tomorrow (Thursday). Hope to get them installed soon. Cold here in Vermont but have a non-heated garage.
Aloha and good morning Rob 🙏 🌄 ✨. Great installation from Weather Tech as this keeps the rain 🌧 out and provides fresh air for the Tacoma. Nice product 👌 👍 👏 😀 😉 😎 Rob.
I was always worried about the push in type, my 08 had wind noise issues I couldn't solve or dealer, so now on my 2020 TRD OR prem. I used 3M stick on outside type and have no issues with wind noise or effecting window seals.Just my option, if they work for you great!
The only negative I’ve heard about these are from some users who indicate they’ve had problem with rear ones coming off with the windows down while traveling at highway speeds. That part really doesn’t concern me. There are maybe a handful of times in a given year that I have the rear windows down while I’m driving anyway. These look like a solid product and look very sharp on the Tacoma.
I used a hand held steamer to remove the window tint off of my Jeep so that it would pass RI inspection. I’m sure it would work well to remove any other stickers and adhesive.
Looks nice and fairly easy to install. Always wondered how people liked them. Seems like a good solution for the rainy days and cracking the window. Do they make a lot of noise?
They were the first things to go on mine. The halfway down is to help guide the front of the deflector into the slot. This was the third set I'd installed -- I had them on previous vehicles -- so they went on with ease. My only gripe was that I had to have them send out a replacement set. They could do a better job of packing, IMO, because the first set arrived shattered.
These were the easiest I’ve ever installed. I didn’t get the tool with mine and I bought direct. I’ve used AVS in the past. I like their drip edge better to be honest.
I'll be curious to see how they work out for you? I have the AVS and I like them. To be honest I had to replace the front passenger one and replace the hood bug deflector because they both were defective. Amazon replaced both with no issues.
I have the same deflectors. The front ones are still great after 2 years. One of the rear ones fell off when I was going down the highway. It seemed to me that it vibrated off the clip. I replaced the rear ones with avs.
I bought my Tacoma used and it had these on it already I took them off because I thought the back ones were going to fly off with the windows down. Now seeing this video, I think the stupid clips were missing and I didn't know they should be there. lol
I've bought the Climart brand for my crewmax tundra but the same application. After a while, with the constant contact with the window when you roll it up it scratched the the top section of my window. Did you experience the same problem on your tacoma after a while?
Hello Rob. Just bought weathertech Christmas Tree Mat 35". Seems to be made well, Close to $100. I'll be looking into the window covers. Thanks Rob, 70 degrees today, should install ok.
I was trying to order from WeatherTech that rain deflector but unsuccessful. I have no idea why my card doesn't match with my billing address in New York.
I've had 2 left rear visors fall out and got scratched real bad. I just ordered a 3rd rear set... last time. They need to rescan or what ever they do for the 2022 tacomas because they won't stay in with window down. Clips don't do shit to help.
I’ve had mine for a year and have had no issues, I am a little hesitant to go through a automatic car wash with the brushes I’ve been through the touch less with no problems.
@@RobMotive I have a monthly membership at a carwash and was hesitant too. I go everyday to get my Taco washed with weather tech deflectors and so far so good! Curious to know about the tints being possibly damaged? Hopefully nothing will come of that!
I'm going to have disagree Rob. I've had these and lost one of them. It just came right out of the channel. Also, they do sort of "rubbing" issues on the window in the long run. I came across Well Visors. They're wider than most, wasn't sure if I was going to like them, but I really do. You can open the window wider and it keeps out all the rain. They secure on the outside with 3M tape but also clips, doesn't mess with the paint on your door. Even though I know you got the WeatherTech, just have them a look see. 😉
Did you end up sticking with these weathertech"s? Or go back to AVS? The area in the front that comes all the way down to the bottom of the window, did that get in the way of your view at all for seeing the mirrors or just seeing through that small space on the driver side between the pillar and mirror or bothersome at all? I just got a brand new 22 Taco Pro and can't decide between the AVS or Weathertech. I like the sleeker, more low-profile design of the weathertech but not a fan of the plastic that comes all the way to the bottom of the frame.
@@RobMotive Thank you. The plastic that rests on the bottom door frame in the front, is that causing any rub marks or damage to the rubber down there from constantly being on it and from the wind pushing on it?
AVS only way to go....they will loosen up in the window tracks and rattle happened on my Ram. Don't even think about taken them out and reinstalling them. Additionally the routered tab that fits in the widow track is so thin it can crack and break off and fall into your window mechanism. Happened to me on a Ford 150. Guess what you have to do then? I put the AVS on my new 22 Tacoma outside the window foam trim on the door frame....just fine. Had this system on my 2004 truck and lasted 10 years before replacing the adhesive. Yea long winded response.
hi rob , I am back ,. hey I got to drive the new tundra limited , I wanted to tell you not impressive at all rob , I cant wait to drive the pro next year
I've had window deflectors on my truck for 2 years now and for the life of me I don't know why. I don't think they make the truck look better and I don't think I use them for their intended purpose which I'm not exactly sure what that is. I use to think they were so I could smoke on rainy days but I haven't smoked for 12 years. So why do I have these? Can someone tell me? lol
I installed them on my 2000 Tacoma right after I bought it. Twenty four years later they look as good as the day I bought them.
I installed these last summer, couldn’t be happier with them.
Nice👍
Thanks Rob. I’ve been wrestling with the rear clip installation do to pulling on the front of the weather stripping instead of the inside. Thank you so much for the visual!!👍
Glad to help👍
Great detailed installation tutorial! Really like these. Planning on getting them soon.
Definitely getting some of these for my new ranger. I love the fact they don’t use adhesive. Looks damn good on the Tacoma Rob💯💯
Thanks 👍
Right on Rob. I have gotten a set for Christmas! Can’t wait for them to arrive to install!!
Awesome! Merry Christmas 🎅
Yes! I had a problem to install those too... but it works great for about a year already!
Great to hear👍

You rock my friend! Got identical trucks going to have to get these! Thanks have a great day
You have awesome taste my friend👍👍
Been a fan of the WeatherTech deflectors in several vehicles. Will be installing them on my 2022 Taco.
@calebdill3763 I did not have an issue.
Ordered a set for my 23 TRD Sport. Should arrive tomorrow (Thursday). Hope to get them installed soon. Cold here in Vermont but have a non-heated garage.
Looks great weather tech The best nobody can come by and steal them either🤣
True! That would be difficult 😬

Two years later and the reviews? I’m looking forward to installing them on my tundra. Is it worth it?
I used a hand held steamer to remove the window tint off of my Jeep so that it would pass RI inspection. I’m sure it would work well to remove any other stickers and adhesive.
Good idea👍
Dude you're from the Valley? Small world lol. Glad I came across this channel as I'm shopping for some for my Tacoma.
Pretty easy install. Just make sure you leave the window up for a couple of days after the install👍
Hi Rob, I had those on my 2001 Toyota Land-cruiser. They didn’t stay in place. Well made but fell off. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve heard that a few times. I hope mine last🤔
Looks nice and fairly easy to install. Always wondered how people liked them. Seems like a good solution for the rainy days and cracking the window. Do they make a lot of noise?
I haven’t noticed any noise from them.
They were the first things to go on mine. The halfway down is to help guide the front of the deflector into the slot. This was the third set I'd installed -- I had them on previous vehicles -- so they went on with ease. My only gripe was that I had to have them send out a replacement set. They could do a better job of packing, IMO, because the first set arrived shattered.
How was it working with their customer service?
@@RobMotive They were fantastic. I had the replacement the next or maybe the day after. Can’t be beat.
Great to hear👍
Will the deflectors always rub the window? Or does letting it set really conform the deflectors?
These were the easiest I’ve ever installed. I didn’t get the tool with mine and I bought direct. I’ve used AVS in the past. I like their drip edge better to be honest.
Rob does this help with highway noise or is it just a rain deflector? Thanks for the great video.
No noticeable difference IMO👍
Interesting. I installed a set of Weather Tech window visors on my 2018 Corolla and the rears did not have the clips but all had tape.
Depends on the vehicle I think🤔
I have those.
I'll be curious to see how they work out for you? I have the AVS and I like them. To be honest I had to replace the front passenger one and replace the hood bug deflector because they both were defective. Amazon replaced both with no issues.
Me too!! Starting to think about going back to AVS😬
Awesome. When removing do you think it causes a wind noise because it deforms the window seal?
I don’t think so🤔
I have the low profile Avs but those look good as well
I liked the AVS as well. These are easier to install with no adhesive 👍
@@RobMotive question what's wrong with adhesive ? Just curious I really don't know
@@RobMotive nevermind I rewatched and see why you dont like the adhesive missed that 1st time lol
The residue it can leave if you ever want to remove the deflectors.
Lol! I just answered you😁
Just make sure they are put in right it will bubble up your tint
It would be nice to know how you're putting the clip in. Oh well.
Well...if you watch the video you will see👍
I bought the same one, Iastnight.
Nice👍👍
I got those myself I like theses better than the avs
I like the install better👍
I have the same deflectors. The front ones are still great after 2 years. One of the rear ones fell off when I was going down the highway. It seemed to me that it vibrated off the clip. I replaced the rear ones with avs.

now you making me feel like i want a tacoma again.
Lol! Why not!!👍
@@RobMotive reason i told my tacoma 06. The kids trashed it. Now that they are growned up. I am pricing the SR5 on the toyota website.
Sounds like a good time👍
What is the bar you have on the back over the bed by the back window

I've bought the Climart brand for my crewmax tundra but the same application. After a while, with the constant contact with the window when you roll it up it scratched the the top section of my window. Did you experience the same problem on your tacoma after a while?
Nope. No problems 👍
Rob- How many Tacoma’s have you owned? Three different videos, three different trucks.
6 or 7😬
I installed weather tech and when I rolled up the front windows they bowed out the widow frame I ended up returning them. I now have avs low profile
That’s a bummer! I need to keep an eye on that🤔
After you left the windows up for a few days no issues with the auto up? My windows are tinted so hopefully the thin film doesn’t effect it
Nope. No problems at all👍
Those looked like they fit tight
They sure do👍
Hello Rob. Just bought weathertech Christmas Tree Mat 35". Seems to be made well, Close to $100. I'll be looking into the window covers. Thanks Rob, 70 degrees today, should install ok.
Sounds great👍👍
I was trying to order from WeatherTech that rain deflector but unsuccessful. I have no idea why my card doesn't match with my billing address in New York.
That’s weird😬
Any improvements to your mpg with these? Some of these claim 10-15% increase
Not that I ever noticed.
I heard the in channel style will damage the window tint. Anyone had experience with that?
I have tint and no issues so far. We shall see🤔
Thinking the same item for my Tundra. Did you get them directly thru weather tech?
Have a look in the video description 👍
@@RobMotive saw it. Amazon. Going to wait till the spring.
I've had 2 left rear visors fall out and got scratched real bad. I just ordered a 3rd rear set... last time. They need to rescan or what ever they do for the 2022 tacomas because they won't stay in with window down. Clips don't do shit to help.
The Weather Tech looks good but would like a 6 month update I have AVS.
Stay tuned👍
I’ve had mine for a year and have had no issues, I am a little hesitant to go through a automatic car wash with the brushes I’ve been through the touch less with no problems.
I wouldn’t take them thru a regular car wash 😬
@@RobMotive I have a monthly membership at a carwash and was hesitant too. I go everyday to get my Taco washed with weather tech deflectors and so far so good! Curious to know about the tints being possibly damaged? Hopefully nothing will come of that!
Good to know. We’ll see on the tint🤔
Does anyone have an issue where if you roll it down a little bit, bumps make the deflector squeak because it rubs against the glass?
Mine did not.
I'm going to have disagree Rob. I've had these and lost one of them. It just came right out of the channel. Also, they do sort of "rubbing" issues on the window in the long run.

Do they adhere to the paint on the truck?
@@RobMotive it has the same 3M tape on the visors, I've never had a problem with them.
But do you stick it directly on the paint?
@@RobMotive yes, the door frame
Thanks. Just curious 👍

@@RobMotive Thank you. The plastic that rests on the bottom door frame in the front, is that causing any rub marks or damage to the rubber down there from constantly being on it and from the wind pushing on it?
Not on mine👍

Did you have any issues with the automatic windows with them? I installed them yesterday and the auto windows were rolling back down with em
I never have. Sounds like they are installed incorrectly?
I think I did them right. Maybe it's because I haven't waited the 12 hours to let them cure or whatever.@@RobMotive
@richf9608 I waited a couple of days. If you’re in a cold climate, adhesion may be an issue too.
I'll wait and then try again. Thanks for the vid!@@RobMotive
How much are they and where can I get them.
Have a look in the video description 👍👍
7:38 😁
hi rob , I am back ,. hey I got to drive the new tundra limited , I wanted to tell you not impressive at all rob , I cant wait to drive the pro next year
I drive it as well. Video on the channel👍
@@RobMotive going to check it out right now hahaah
ETA of my 2022 moved up to 1/2 - 1/6....more like and E-ETA ... Estimated-Estimated Time of Arrival.
Lol! So maybe sooner or later😁
I thought this was going be difficult was easy took me about 10 seconds.
are you going to tent your windows
Have a look: ruclips.net/video/W7kJN8K7qpI/видео.html
Thoughts on these after 8 months?
I prefer the AVS brand.
Hi Bob are the avs installed just like weathertech or do they use adhesive tape?
@@RobMotive why?
I've had window deflectors on my truck for 2 years now and for the life of me I don't know why. I don't think they make the truck look better and I don't think I use them for their intended purpose which I'm not exactly sure what that is. I use to think they were so I could smoke on rainy days but I haven't smoked for 12 years. So why do I have these? Can someone tell me? lol
Because you can 😬
What if the trucks back windows don't roll down? My truck has the half doors.
What do u advise?
I don’t know what you mean?
@@RobMotive it's a extended cab. The back windows do not roll down. So I couldn't use the in channel one's for the back windows could i?
Gotcha. Not sure if anyone makes something for the access cab?
@@RobMotive really? Well that sucks 😕
Made in germany?
No idea🤔
