I think they'll really come in handy this summer when I park in the hot sun. I can leave the windows cracked an inch or so for ventilation without worrying about a sudden rainstorm popping up. Which always happens when I leave my windows cracked.ginzero said:I usually don't like window visors.. but those look nice!
After the installation I took it for a test drive just for that reason. With the radio off, I was surprised to hear almost no wind noise. Don't hesitate to go with the Weathertechs on the RAV.kenn said:How is the wind noise? I have weathertechs on my Accord and they create a rushing wind -- almost a whistle -- around the area where the side view mirror is. I'm probably going to remove them as they are ANNOYING.
I've used weathertechs before but after my Accord experience, I hesitate...

No, I didn't push the window up by hand--I "bumped" it up with the button. If you push the button too far it goes up in auto mode--and will come back down if it hits an obstruction. Only the driver's window has this feature.noripwr said:junebug1701 said:After the installation I took it for a test drive just for that reason.

That's pretty neat! I was thinking about that one too. You mentioned nudging up the glass bit by bit until it stay closed. Do you mean you brought the window up to the closed position forcefully using your hand? I wasn't aware toyota installs window glasses that automatically go back down when it detects an obstruction - thought only european cars had that.
Yeah, when I got my RAV4 from the dealer when they installed the OEM window visors, they warned me about the same thing. It eventually disappeared after a while.junebug1701 said:No, I didn't push the window up by hand--I "bumped" it up with the button.
