WEATHERTECH WINDOW DEFLECTORS - Not for me!

I originally bought and installed these WeatherTech window deflectors on my VW GTI a few months ago to support my Scorpion SA-680 antenna project. So, this is sort of a long-term review. HAHA! See my thoughts on these and why I may remove them.

One of the most horrible accessories people add to cars specially Honda owners don’t understand those deflectors looks horrendous

[@StealthGTI]

Looks are subjective. It's a love-hate thing, I think. I still have one mounted on the right-rear window. It's good for a little heat release. Thanks for visiting!

[@jorgevillacis8127]

@@StealthGTI subjective ? If someone have a bad. Taste then bad look is good ! But in order for something to looks good it have to be under proportions ! And those windows deflectors destroy the proportions of the car - check a premium car like Aston Martin Martin Mercedes R. Royce Bentley NONE come with window reflectors ! Is tacky

[@StealthGTI]

@@jorgevillacis8127 - Yes, "subjective." It means "Based on a given person's experience, understanding, and feelings; personal or individual." FEELINGS is an operative word there, in my opinion. So, some people like them, some people don't. "Looks tacky or "bad taste" is not objective fact; it's opinion and, therefore, subjective. I will assume that most Aston Martin and MB owners don't care for them since there aren't window deflectors available at Weathertech, a major maker of the product, for those cars. Too little interest from customers does not justify the expense of making the product for those cars. I'm sure SOMEONE wants them for those cars, but they are too far in the minority to justify Weathertech's effort in making window deflectors. BUT, any car that has an available window deflector means that there are enough owners who subjectively feel that they are worth it. Follow the money. Subjectively, enough people like them to justify the R&D costs to produce a product that sells. Personally, I bought them far more for their usefullness than their looks. Once I discovered the noise, they became less practical to me and I removed them. Later, I returned ONE to the car because it's useful there and not noisy at all. But that's my SUBJECTIVE opinion, not objective fact. 😏

[@larryjohns8823]

And I added deflectors to my Honda as I love the look. Now ask me about what looks cheap - flat black wheels! Looks like your missing a hub cap... Each to his own opinion, if we all agreed there would only be one car to buy😮

[@bfc1999]

@@jorgevillacis8127 I would argue that you will never get a girlfriend because you look tacky.. And usually people say I have good taste. But I guess someone out there is going to have a different opinion and you at some point will get laid. But I'm sure you won't get my point because the whole start of your argument tells me you don't do much critical thinking. 😂

[@mikex1384]

I've had a set of these on my 2000 Toyota Tacoma since it was new. Twenty one years later they still basically look new. I can leave my windows cracked a bit to get some airflow through the truck during the hot Florida summer and not have to worry about afternoon thunderstorms. Worth every penny.

[@StealthGTI]

Excellent report! Thanks for sharing.

[@dannymcqueen]

have you noticed that they add/make any windnoise at highway speed? I've read many comments of people who say they do...and as many reviews where people say not at all......not sure what to believe..........

[@hiyouseemcool]

@@dannymcqueenI think it depends if you buy cheap ones or get them from the dealership or buy more expensive ones. A honda I bought second hand had ones from the dealership that I eventually took off and I didn’t notice any difference in noise

[@igla2187]

​@dannymcqueen so far, all we have tried added noise. The quietest ones were surprisingly some cheap China brand off Amazon. Removed the dealer installed ones and no regrets

Glad you like them!

Thankyou for covering all angles…your content is very well put together. Cheers & thankyou as this helped me out !

[@tonyz2897]

Thanks for the review! I've been looking at the Weathertech deflectors for my MK6 GTI. Hadn't considered running a feed line out the window, but when I finally have the headliner out for recovering, I'll be very tempted to drill for an NMO mount while I'm at it.

[@StealthGTI]

Go for the NMO mount! I'd consider it if I already had the headliner out. Have fun!

[@4GuitarTrance]

I know this may sound weird to some, but deflectors always look nice on any vehicle. I think they also give somewhat of a more sporty look to the GTI, or any small hatch or pseudo-sport vehicle for that matter. They look REALLY good on yours for a not-so-expensive pseudo-mod. They match the window tint and your wheels too! And yes, they ARE great for when one needs fresh side-window air when it's raining. My wife is one of those "Gott'a have fresh air once in awhile during a trip" peeps. So when it's raining I'm sure glad I have mine for practicality as well as for aesthetic reasons. My .02 anyway!

[@StealthGTI]

The window deflectors are something I had never tried before. In short, I tried them and didn't care for them. All is good without them. Thanks for visiting.

[@supafance92]

They look ricey it’s cheap ricer mod.

[@danielb1052]

I find these window deflectors are great at nullifying wind buffeting noise as well 👍

[@StealthGTI]

Yes they are! I usually keep my windows up, though. They are good for what they're intended to do. Thanks for visiting.

[@mk6_csg978]

I had this Weathertech window deflectors for about 5 plus years now and it works fine for me, since I live in South Florida and the heat is crazy. I keep my windows crack an never had any issues except they are starting to fade from dark to a lighter color but no big deal haha

[@StealthGTI]

Yes, the Weathertechs are made very well! Thanks for visiting.

[@nsiebenmor]

With the fading do they offer some sun protection? This is why I want them.

[@joeythefoxxo]

Just got to Florida for vacation. I haven’t been here in years and jeez does this sun hit different.

[@joenavy3136]

Informative thank you. Just purchased a set for my 2019 van. Only problem as far as the fit is concerned is my passenger side one doesn't fit. Checked the channel and weather stripping wich sometimes gets crossed up in normal up and down window use. No problem there and my Van's fairly new so I checked with weathertech and they wont allow me to just purchase or exchange the one side. The rest fit as advertised. Did not get the window track cleaning tool either as advertised so I'm gonna take them off and just loose the 100 plus dollars I paid for them because the passenger side does not fit and they wont allow me to exchange them. Like your video none the less. Happy new year.

[@StealthGTI]

Sorry to hear about your fitment issues. Too bad you couldn't just return them. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to share your story.

[@brandonakers9827]

Thanks for this vid. Exactly what I needed; a review not an installation guide. Im gonna buy a set

[@StealthGTI]

Excellent! I don't think you'll be disappointed if my comments about the sound has managed your expectations. Let me know what you think of them. Thanks for visiting!

[@tinabeane]

Good to hear your thoughts on this. I'm still debating myself, mainly because the back windows in my SUV are not even. When you lower the window there is a gap, so the deflectors won't cover. Maybe I can find a set just for the front.

[@StealthGTI]

I think the front window deflectors alone may work well. They taper at the back and fit flush. Sure, there's still an issue with aerodynamics, but they'll work. Thanks for visiting.

[@4GuitarTrance]

Check out the deflectors your car's dealer sells specifically (supposedly)... they usually fit best, even if a bit more pricey at times. Best thing is to go to your vehicle's manufacturer website, search for "genuine" deflectors (in accessories) for your vehicle -- note the model number of the deflectors -- then search for prices around the web. You can find them cheaper that way, most of the time. Good luck!

[@tinabeane]

@@4GuitarTrance Oh thanks, that is a very helpful idea!

[@4GuitarTrance]

@@tinabeane My pleasure!

[@mpcp27]

Yeah I had the same problem with the rear windows on my Tucson. The only solution I came up with was a sticking piece of weather stripping onto the OEM stripping to extend and cover that gap when the window is rolled down.

[@rob72675]

What issues, if any, did you encounter when removing them, assuming that you have done so? I have installed, recently, and am also getting more wind noise, than before the install, and feel they are too snug, and may cause issues with the window motor and/or regulators.

[@StealthGTI]

When I first removed them, there was a little bit of wind noise from where the deflectors had compressed the window seals. But they swelled back to normal after a few days. Everything went back to normal after that. Thanks for visiting.

[@TheJkrmenec]

The main reason I put them on both of my GTIs was due to the rain destroying the switches on the 3 door version due to the location of the switches and how the rain would hit them

[@StealthGTI]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

[@scumthraxx]

FR FR!

[@tedjohnson64]

Nice review! If you got around to removing them, I’d be curious to know if the OEM window seals were left slightly distorted, causing them to let in more noise at highway speeds?

[@StealthGTI]

The seals were distorted, which was expected. However, also as expected, the seals swelled back into shape and the extra noise subsided.

[@tedjohnson64]

@@StealthGTI Thanks for the quick reply. I'm glad the seals returned to their prior shape!

[@philipgil8029]

@@StealthGTI how do you remove them correctly. I have in channel visors on my car, and want to remove them. Do I have to worry about the old 3M tape in the channel at all? Does it streak the top of the windows after removal?

[@StealthGTI]

@@philipgil8029 - I rolled down my windows and pressed inward on the shades before pulling them downward for removal. I haven't had any problems with streaking. If you're concerned, you could always run a rag soaked with isopropyl alcohol through the top of the seal to clean away any residue. I don't think you'll have any troubles, though. Thanks for visiting.

[@SarasotaTim]

I bought them for my 4runner and the window hit it when rolling it up. I called WeatherTech and they said keep them and here’s your money back! I sold them on craigslist for $75 Now I’m going to possibly purchase them again for stealth camping so I can crack my windows without anyone seeing they are lower. I so this is just like your idea, you bought them for your ham radio Project. I’m buying them for my project, stealth camping. Need a window crack to prevent moisture on the inside windows when sleeping back there. 😎

[@StealthGTI]

I may put the rear ones back into the service. I no longer need them for the antenna feed, but I've been operating for extended periods with the windows up. Being able to discretely crack them would be nice. It would work for camping, too. Thanks for visiting!

[@birminghamblueheat4986]

Dam it I just bought a set for my outback I think I will return them , Any added road or wind noise will irritate me . Thanks for the video

[@StealthGTI]

HAHA! Don't give up yet! Perhaps the Outback has different aerodynamics around the window frames and it won't be bad at all. They're already coming; no harm in at least trying them out. Good Luck!

People are NOT understanding what these window deflector‘S are for. It’s NOT to make your car sporty or look good. It’s for when it rains and you open the open the water doesn’t get into the car and believe me these things make a HUGE difference. I live in a city where it RAINS a lot !!! These things help a lot to keep the rain 🌧️ out !!!

[@afhevh]

I had them on my F150, looked cool and did the trick with cracked windows in the rain. I took them off because they made an already bad A pillar blind spot that much worse.

[@StealthGTI]

Nice! I don't recall if the blind spots bothered me; only the noise. Thanks for visiting!

[@chriskeegan8919]

Did you have to use an obd11 in order to control the windows with the fob?

[@StealthGTI]

Yes. The remote window control and other "hacks" are often referred to as "convenience mods." I have a list of what I've done at stealthgti.com/2017/02/05/convenience-mods/. Thanks for visiting.

[@joshbraun7152]

Did you need to use clips for the back windows? They gave me clips but I really dont see how they fit in

[@StealthGTI]

Yes! For the rear windows, you have to pull back the rubber seal around the window. It's in the directions. See some photos at stealthgti.com/2018/08/13/oem-pop-in-sunshades-rear/, if you're interested. Take Care!

[@celticstephenhill]

If your only reason for wanting them was to reduce air turbulence on the highway with the windows down, do you think they're worth it?

[@StealthGTI]

I cannot give a good answer since I very seldom used them for that purpose. Sometimes, all you can do is give it a shot and decide for yourself. Good Luck!

[@BojanBojovic]

Are they good for having windows cracked a little bit during hot days on the parking? Is it possible for someone to take them off while windows cracked for 2-3 centimetres? Thanks...

[@StealthGTI]

I think venting on hot days is specifically what they're for. It IS possible for them to be stolen with the window cracked 2-3 cm. Perhaps open just 1cm instead. The car will vent just as well and a potential thief would have to look MUCH closer to tell if the windows are cracked. They're probably a lot more difficult to remove with such little free space above the deflector. Thanks for visiting!

[@imeggman]

I've considered a set of these for my new (to me) Subaru. I'm not super keen on the stick-on ones since, if they ever need to be removed, seems like they would be a bit of a sticky mess to deal with.

[@StealthGTI]

I agree. Thanks for visiting.

[@lilrich1243]

I pulled mine of to restore the plastic. It was a year after owning the car and who knows how long previous owner had them on. They were pretty snug on there but after a a good pull they came off with no mess. The tape used was 3m btw. Any glue residue from the tape was removed with goop off. Moral of the story buy 3m and purchase some goop off that stuff comes in handy

[@SSwizzyMusic]

For the rear window not the same car but same process with my weather tech. After 12 years the driver side rear visor adhesive finally came off luckily the channels stopped it from flying off

[@StealthGTI]

Mine were easy enough to remove that I wondered if the tape was really that effective, especially after a few years of car washing, dirt, pollen, etc. I don't miss them at all. Thanks for visiting!

[@shouldihangmyself]

[@StealthGTI]

Thanks! Oddly enough, I have ONE on the car; the passenger side rear window. There's a method to my madness. HAHA! Thanks for visiting!

[@ahkeen]

Do you have issues with the window having hard to roll up?

[@StealthGTI]

The anti-pinch feature acted up for a day or so. That tendency disappeared once the weather seals adapted to having the extra plastic in the window frame. Thanks for visiting.

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Yes I just put pine on, plus a small piece of rubber shaved off, so I’d practice taking it on and off a few times, I’d watch a few videos, the problem is the front corner of the front windows, right where the sticker is , I have mine resting on the outside of the edge like they say, but idk I’m not too happy with my windows going up slower

[@karenlengyel3512]

Mine prevents window from going up. I have to open door and pull out on deflector to raise window. Any easy fixes? Bought car with them on.

[@StealthGTI]

How long have you had them? I had the same problem when I bought mine, too. It may have been in the directions, but I recall pulling outward to roll-up the window and then leaving them shut for a day or two on hot days to let the deflectors adapt their shape. No problems since then. I'm considering putting my rear deflectors back on the car for a new need. I wonder if I'll need to reform them again. Let me know if this works for you, though it may not be warm enough just yet. Good Luck!

[@HitesMites]

I bought a vehicle with these already installed. One of them already fell off. Now I want to remove the other passenger side but it's stuck with adhesive. How do I remove it without ruining the window gasket?

[@StealthGTI]

Try a *plastic* pry tool. Start at an end. Use the pry tool to push inward on the visor while using your fingers to hold the gasket in place. Once one end lets go, the rest will come out fairly easily. You want to press inward on the deflector to release the seal before attempting to pull down to remove it. Good Luck!

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

Forget the deflector, I wanna know more about that ham antenna!

[@StealthGTI]

HAHA! Have a look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rILGZIOam92rmqs for more info. Thanks for visiting!

[@MariaPerez-qr2cn]

How did you get the back ones off because they come with hesivet tape

[@StealthGTI]

When I removed mine, they really weren't stuck terribly firm. The window channel is about 4-5mm thick. Roll down the window and press directly inward, pushing the deflector away from its mating. Don't try to rotate the deflector out before breaking their seal. A plastic pry tool may help, too. Apply pinpoint pressure at one edge, directly toward the center of the car, and continue to work the deflector away from its mating surface as you work toward the other end. Once the seal is broken, then it should be safe enough to pull down on the front to get the deflector out of the channel. Oddly enough, I reinstalled my rear deflectors. I'm experimenting with them... just the rears, though. Good Luck!

[@pearpuree1134]

i heard that they can damage window motors.. over time.. what do you think about that ?

[@StealthGTI]

I don't see how that can happen. The deflectors are only in contact with the glass for about 3-5mm out of all of the window's motion. Thanks for writing.

[@dallas3719]

every had an issue with your windows not fully closing? just got them installed and am having that issue

[@StealthGTI]

I had to pull the edges of the deflectors outward to get the windows to close. Then, as the directions state, left them closed for a period to allow the seals to compress. After that, they worked fine. Thanks for visiting.

[@molinny]

In- channel rain guards also come with a glue strip to aid the installation. It didn't seem like you used the glue strip.

[@StealthGTI]

Thanks for commenting. The front window guards did not have a glue strip. I did use the strip on the rear guards. It was pre-applied and I only needed to remove one side of the double-stick tape. Take Care.

[@jrnumex9286]

that's a good one to use when/if describing oneself. "i am not really a windows down type of person". you have good company, no one drives with windows down anymore unless the clunky is acting up.

[@StealthGTI]

I got these for my Acura TL and only the front deflectors fit right. Took me an hour to file down the plastic on the channel part for it to fit. Paid over $100 I shouldn’t have to do shit but install them. Not sure why they would make the plastic channel part as thick as the actual deflector part

[@StealthGTI]

[@StealthGTI]

Welcome aboard! I had no idea what a Rabbit was back then. To me, all VWs worth having were aircooled. ;-) Even in 1993 when I got my first watercooled VW, a 1989 Golf GL, I recall a kid in the local VW club telling me "You should fix it up." I replied "Why? It's just a Golf." I had no idea how fun the car could have been. I didn't really get into tuning VWs until 2000. But I didn't really wake up until I got this car. The MQB is simply fantastic!

These are so noisy at high speeds. I bought a car and it had these. I guess it's ok at low speeds but at 75mph they are more of a nuisance. They also make the auto window up kick it back down as it senses the deflector and auto comes down

That's strange, especially the tint part. My deflectors never touch the inside of the glass. The seals on my windows are felt and not 100% rubber as with my older cars.

These Weathertech wind deflectors make the stick on ones look and feel really cheap.

[@StealthGTI]

They do! The fit and finish are excellent. Keep in mind, though, that they also compress the weather seals in the window frame. It's not an issue if you leave the deflectors installed for life. But the seals will not be the same when the deflectors are removed. I think they eventually swell back to regular shape, but it takes a LONG time. Thanks for visiting.

I wonder if there’s any way to remove the logo on the visors for a cleaner look…

Are you referring to the logos on the deflectors and not the "safety" labels on the visors? The deflector labels are just adhesive stick-ons. The labels are very thin. I suspect some heat will help them come up. I never bothered to remove them. Thanks for visiting.

I still have mine in my shed. I may reinstall the rear deflectors so that I can crack the rear windows for a little ventilation when parked for ham radio activities. They could be beneficial if I'm ever desperate enough to sleep in my car. ;-) Take Care!

I saw lasthumansgarage take his off rather quickly.

[@StealthGTI]

He did. I had just recorded this video when he said that he had ordered his. He has a very fast workflow on his videos. So, he ordered, installed, produced a video, and removed his all in the time it took for my queued video to go live. HAHA! I try to published every Thursday and have been working a week or two in advance to avoid rushing.

So you didn't want deflectors for the purpose they are created for and that's why you don't like it? That's like saying a spoon sucks because you tried to eat steak with it

[@StealthGTI]

HAHA! Too funny! That's not what I said at all. I bought them for one reason, not their intended reason, decided against that use, then tried them for their intended purpose. Later, I decided I don't prefer them. Using your spoon analogy, that would be like buying a spoon to cook heroin, then deciding that I don't want heroin (antenna coax passage). From there, I used the spoon for ice cream, but still didn't like it for that purpose, either. The spoon (deflectors) works fine, but maybe ice cream (windows down) isn't for me. 😉Thanks for visiting.

Body shop owner 30 years experience and these things are junk I expected alot more from weather tech, any thing that doest fasten to the car won't work they tell you to keep windows up 12 hours not 11 or 13 lol

Why would you take any body seriously who owns a VW anything, They make disposable JUNK !the Weather Tech is best thing on the car.😳

[@StealthGTI]

I appreciate your thought-provoking and insightful post. HAHA! Just don't tell my 200,000-mile GTI that it's disposable. It's currently under the impression that it's a product of the second largest automaker in the world. That could be A LOT of junk on the planet! ;-) Thanks for visiting!

I HAVE USED THESE FOR YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU GET THIS STUFF FROM. YOU DONT LIKE THEM DONT USE THEM.

[@StealthGTI]

I "got this stuff" from analyzing them with a critical ear over the course of a few months. Overall, I think I gave them a good review, but also professed that they're ultimately not my thing. I did remove them; but that doesn't disqualify me from sharing my thoughts. Thanks for visiting!

Jesus I was looking for an opinion on window deflectors and get see the most pointless and boring video ever that 95% spoke about everything else except window deflectors.
