Just installed on my 2003 Toyota Highlander. Note: Use some Trim Restore Serum and take a Qtip and put in channel of rubber. Then get a cloth and locking tweezers and rub the serum in the channel and use these to pull rubber open as my dad put the corners in and started to pop in channel it went in very smoothly. We couldn’t get the auto window off so make sure you click the window up in increments. The front windows worked great by doing this. Thank you for this video! Gotta love YT community!

Hey, You did a great job at milling that down! Most viewers aren’t gonna be able to pull that off! BTW, Nice touch with throwing the discarded box out and spooking your dog. I’m gonna install a set on my 2015 GMC Sierra. After viewing your video and your final takeaway, I’m a little bit reluctant at installing these even though Weather Tech makes great products. When known, I’ll letcha know my final verdict. Take Care

I think they will work out fine, I have a set on my Tundra that worked out great. I believe this application was probably more the exception to the rule for weather tech.

I have the same problem on my 2006 Sequoia. I was thinking of doing exactly what you did but with a dremel because I don’t have a table saw. I’m just hesitant to do because I know I’m going to mess it up with the dremel. Can’t think of any other way.
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld Жыл бұрын
The table saw method is a bit sketchy I must admit, and I did run a few test cuts with Wood to get it just right before I committed to the real cut.. the trick to getting it right no matter what you use is building a jig of some sort that will re-produce the same result each time.

Sand it down with 120 or 220 grit. You can definitely do it by hand without messing it up. I would think a power sander that could be set on low speed would be easy enough to control, especially with the finer grit.

The only problem we’ve had was the back door shades adhesive giving out and losing them going down the road when we rolled the windows down, so they are gone now. The front ones have held up fine, no issue with tint or anything else.

My 2016 Highlander has some wind noise and wonder if the vent shades make it better or worse. Thinking of a bug deflector but worry about added wind noise.

I think they add their own little bit of wind noise.. not bad, but to say it doesn’t would not be factual.

Is that a table saw? I thought you were going to sand down the thickness of the part that slides into your window channels. Is that what you did or did you simply take the height?
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld 3 жыл бұрын
it was a table saw, I ran a few test cuts on a thin piece of wood and made adjustments until I got the result in depth and thickness I was looking for. I basically reduced the width until it was all the same-ish anyway.

@@Yellowdogsworld Oh, I see what you did now. It's kinda hard to tell what's going on there. A sander would be my choice, but your way makes a more uniform width. I bought some WeatherTech's for my van and the wind whistles in like the window is open. I'll try this. Thanks

I must admit the way I did it is a bit sketchy and potentially dangerous... so be mindful of the fingers. This is the main reason I didn't get really specific on the setup for the saw... but it did do the job.

Not so far, Look at it this way, the guard is coming in contact with the outside portion of the window, the tint is on the inside. Other than added "pressure" from the inside weather strip, that's about all you have to be concerned with.
