    These are weathertech front and rear window guards. The rear ones are obviously just for show since those windows don't open. Weathertech did a nice job in making them look good, can barely tell there not in channel. But I've struggled with the decision since I first put them on. I look at them and think they are fake and should be taken off. But like the matching look to the fronts.

    So Ill Leave it up to you guys, decide for me.

    I would get rid of it, they serve no purpose obviously. It just makes the window look smaller and old school IMO

    Please refer to build (click signature picture)
    I had the rears on my access cab and they were a little faded and starting to get loose right after i bought te truck (used) so i took them off. The deciding factor for me was that they were non-functional and could fall off at any time due to old adhesive. It is up to you. I like them off of mine.

    i would take them off. they serve no purpose and from the look of it (atleast from the pic you used), it doesnt look like its even with the front guard.

    When is the last time they kept water from getting in the window or allowed you to vent the rear windows haha non-functional therefore I would take them off. It's probably not often but I'm sure they just add to any wind noise on the highway. I know my fronts did on all of my truck so I'm assuming the rears only contribute to noise and don't contribute to anything useful.

    Off. Serving no purpose, they just look silly.

    The front ones atleast have a function to perform.
