Lexusfreak Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm considering getting a set of side window visors & have found several sites that offer them & the prices vary widely. Anyone install these & any opinions / feedback on them are appreciated. I have been told that if you do get them, to stick with JDM or nothing. I just wonder how these will hold up over time too. Here are the sites that I have found that offer them... http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvproduct...3&Year=2005 http://myautofashion.com/es300sidevisor.html http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-Rain-Gu...emZ330226715329 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if I had an issue, they refunded or did an exchange without question. I have never had a problem with them. And I had the weather techs on some of my other cars in the past and I have had no complaints at all. They looked great, fit right, and have lasted for years. Remember though, they are just plastic. But I can save you a few more bucks also, and free shipping from here. :) http://www.autoanything.com/deflectors/20A10039A1.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Bren, I looked into visors years ago. My opinion: as long as they don't cover up the chrome trim of the door, then they would look somewhat decent. If they have to tape onto the crhome rail of the door, then it will look totally "add-on" and very cheap. The first one you listed says it installs in the window channel and actually still shows the chrome trim in the picture, so that one I would vote for. However, will it create a draft when the window is closed and will the window now leak since something else is in the window channel? Lastly, the big question is how far out to the side do they protrude. It is fine on a truck but if you get a 2 inch protrusion out from the side of the window you will remind me of my grandmother's Buick. I saw a set for the ES than actually has no protusion, they literally came straight down from the window channel, but I forget where. I do remember they were over $200 too. Too much for my wallet. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugwacker Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi, In MHO The weathertech guards are above and beyond the others. I have used them B4 on my '99 tahoe, '05 Silverado, & now my '04 ES330. They are IN the window channel and do not interfere with the Glass at all. I have the light smoke tint and they look and perform excellent! nice to open the window a couple of inches on a rainy day without having to wipe down the back seats when u get where you r going! Hope this helps. Bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
