Default Raingaurds??? Experiences???

Well I ordered a set of the ventvisor raingaurds and received them yesterday. Went to install them and they fit terribly. Just thought i'd give the heads-up in case any of you were thinking about getting some raingaurds. ventvisors part# is 194527. Im not saying someone else wouldnt be fine with them but I definitly thought they were a poor fit and they should go back to the drawing board. If anyone has any good experiences with another brand i would love to hear about it as i still want to get some that fit.

Not sure of the exact brand... but looks like there are some others with them that haven't reported any major issues...

I installed ventvisor also and was not very happy with the qc. My daughter actually caught the front passenger in the window a week after install and broke the corner off the visor. Oh well. Its not bad enough to cry over, but if it fit right, I wouldn't have to worry about the other windows catching eventually. I think I paid $40 shipped. Not bad. They do keep out the rain though.

Somewhat expensive, but I love mine. OE fit is great! Here is a link to the JDM Toyota accessory piece.

Weather Tech makes the ones that fit into the window channel at the top. i have had mine for over a year, and not a problem at all with em. I think for all 4 runs about $80.

My Wades fit perfectly. I researched here before ordering and learned in the first 2 minutes to avoind the Ventshades like the freaking plague.

I like the looks of the ESams and their knock offs personally. Just a bit expensive for the real thing.

I hated my Wades and removed them. They pushed the rear window moldings out pretty badly.

Not in any way that they would cause a problem.
