What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out these WeatherTech deflectors that are gonna come in a kit and we're gonna put a front and rear set on our 2022 Ram 2500. Taking a closer look at the deflectors, they're made out of a sturdy aero grade acrylic, so they're gonna hold up so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged if something hits it. You see it's pretty tough as I knock on it. It's not just a flimsy piece of plastic. It does have some strength there.

And it's really good for rolling your window to about here, if it's raining, it helps deflect that rain so you can still have some airflow in the cab or your truck and you don't have to have the window all the way down and get the rain on the inside. Here's a look at the rear one. Just an example of how it and the front one do look factory. I think they fit the truck really well. They go with the contours of the window, so it doesn't look out of place.

Another great thing is they're really easy to install. You don't have to bend 'em too much, like some other air deflectors where you worry about them breaking. Just a slight bend to get them installed. Check out how I did it. We're on the passenger side and we're gonna install our front deflector first, so you kind of match it up with the way the window looks.

You can see how it's gonna fit right in there. We're gonna start with the front. We're gonna slide it in right here in this gap. You can see there's kind of a textured weather strip. It's gonna go right between this one and the rubberized one.

So I'm gonna shove it into the corner here first and then we're gonna bow it out just a little bit to get our other side in. And now I'll come from the front to the back and start to tuck it into place. It's gonna go right in between that first weather guard. Hop up there and take a look. See you gotta make sure it goes underneath there. We're good here, but right about here, it got jammed up a little. So, just bring it out. Let that weather guard pop out. Then we can push it up into place the rest of the way. Gonna pull out on the deflector just a little bit to kind of stretch it so that the windows can go up and down and it won't affect it. I'm gonna go inside now and roll up the windows a few times. I'm gonna roll up the window. Now on this first one, it might make a little bit of contact if your windows have the auto detect, where they stop, that might happen. Just go ahead and go up. As long as you don't hear any cracking or breaking. Didn't even hit it that time. You see how it, well it came back down a little bit, but that's okay, that's why we're gonna do it four or five times just to make sure it settles in. Now we're gonna install the rear rain guard. Now, there's a little bit more to this than the front one. They give you some tools to use with it. So it's nice that you don't have to find your own in the toolbox. It's a plastic shim that's really easy to use. What you're gonna do is pull down on this rubber strip. It's also the textured one like we talked about before. You're gonna pull it all the way down and put a clip up in there and I wanna show you it before I start doing that, just to make it make a little bit more sense. In the diagram it's kind of hard to follow along. We're gonna put this up underneath this weather strip and then we'll put the guard in between the clip and the top of the door. And that's gonna make more sense when I show you. I just wanna give you a heads up 'cause the diagram isn't super helpful in the instructions. So, we're gonna use our tool. It also has a mark on there for three inches. So go three inches from the door. So about here is where we want it. So use this hook to go up and above the weather strip, pull it all the way down and we're gonna insert our clip. So just push that up into place. You can get it started with your thumb. Flip it around use the wider end to push it up a little bit further. I mean you want it to be straight up and down, so then you can fold that weather strip back up. Pushing down on the bent edge with my thumb and pushing up with the tool and then we can push the weather strip back up. So it's not as bad as it seems. It just takes a little bit to get it right. And then we'll go to the front. And now we're gonna go four inches in from the door. So about right here is where our other clip's gonna go. And we're gonna do the same thing as we did for the rear clip. Now with the rain guard in hand, I'm gonna peel back the protective strips for the adhesive. Once again, make sure you match it up with the shape of the window. So we're gonna have the
