Rain Guards?

Looking to install Rain Guards on my 2023 Tacoma Limited, can't drive with windows open because of the Loud Fluddering noise.
Do ya's recommend stick on the outside OR the kind that go under the window channel???

 

In channel is the way to go. I have the rain guards from Weathertech on my F150 and have been happy with them

 

Definitely in channel. I tried Weathertech but after Extreme Terrain sent me two packages with the pieces broken in the box I just went cheap and did Issyauto on mine. They're still holding up great (about 2 months later so not exactly a "long-term" review though).

What's weird about the Weathertech shipping issues is that they also sent me the Weathertech hood protector at the same time and that was shipped fine, but whatever.

 

Yes in channel, I’ve had them on for over 2 years

 

In channel 100% check out different brands like AVS or Weather Tech. Consider getting the low profile ones. They look better imo

 

In Channel AVS Auto Ventshade low profile is best for me.

 

In channel.

Stick ons are no bueno on your paint

 

Did it stop the fluddering sound when driving with the windows open?

 

In channel on every vehicle we’ve owned. Best small upgrade for enjoying the wind/rain/whatever and letting the dogs chill as well

 

Did it stop the fluddering noise?

 

When you have this noise are the back windows cracked too?

If yes, try closing them

 

I stuck some foam tubing in the channels. Couldn't stand the flutter/ rattling noise especially with loud bass music. It was some JAG tubing for mtn bike internal cable routing to silence the rattle while riding...

I had this laying around and works great. I tried other window foam and rubber tubbing and they fell out. The jag foam hasn't fallen out once in a year. It's like a total different truck with complete silence from those damn channels rattling. I just cut about 14" for each window and chink it in there, roll up the windows a few times and bobs your uncle.

 

I'm also looking at the weather tech/avs rain guards, hoping it doesnt cause any fluttering noise... Does anyone have a double cab with only the fronts installed?

 

I live in the very sunny South and every truck I have ever owned had the AVS in channel. No issues ever with this brand and type.

 

uhh many responses if you read
forget weather tech and get avs low profile in channel tinted
front only
that's what I've used on 2 Tacos and to me is perfect

 

What? lol.. Id probably go with weathertech from what I read and watched...

Forgot to mention I was looking for pics of just the 2 fronts.

 

out channel is ugly and for vehicles that can’t do in channel because their door doesn’t have a frame.

 

in-channel offers slightly more space to roll the windows down and still maintain protection, but does so at the cost of the potential to scratch the window glass where the plastic rubs. my old ranger ended up with some glass scratches from it.

out-of-channel versions tend to stick better many times--they're far easier to prep/clean/install, but don't offer as much protection-- the windows end up opening narrower to utilize them.

i find myself preferring the in-channel versions despite the hazards, as i prefer to have the windows open as much as possible, even in the rain.
