ozboy Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi All, I am new to this forum, first time post but have been reading lots in the last few days as I make a decision on a new Journey so thank you to the community!! I am looking for recommendations for window/hood deflectors/visors; best quality, easiest to fit, best value/price. also I did see that some guys on here have been selling the odd set....so if anyone has a set they are looking to sell please let me know...here or PM. Thanks again to everyone for all their input and input and info on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelThunder Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 i bought the front air deflector at the dealership, its a mopar accessory, nice fit and and serve its purpose pretty well. I wanted to buy the chrome window deflector/visor also, but there are none available for the journey yet at Putco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozboy Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks Rebel Thunder. Does anyone have any experience with other deflectors and fitting them?....seems to me there are a couple of different ways to do this and would be interested to get some feedback on best/worst. I know some use adhesive...I am not sure how I feel about using adhesive on my brand new vehicle are there other options? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelThunder Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 mine needs to be screwed underneath the hood, so we have to drill little holes on it. another option is to have it installed professionally which cost around Cad$50.00 +taxes.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feralhog Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have been looking for chrome also (2011) with no luck yet. Mainly, I was hoping for a pic to see what chrome deflector/visors would look like on the Journey. I'll probably end up with "in channel" dark smoke. If there's no chrome window deflectors I don't think the chrome bug deflectors will be around soon either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. and u can pick them up at any auto custom shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 just bought a 4 door set from WEATHERTECH , been using these guys for years with all my cars , they are the best . better be carefull about the rear windows when you roll them down. i had the same set and they were in the windows for over 2 weeks and i rolled the right one down while we were stopped and then started driving and before we were even going no more than 25mph it flew right out of the window channlle as the little stickey tape holding them in didnt work very good. ended up takeing the rears off and put them in the shed. but i love the front ones.

Toby son Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi folks. I have been reading your posts on the Weather Tech vent visors and some are having problems with the back window ones slipping out when the window is open and the car is moving. I have the same set with no problems. What needs to be done, is to trim a very small amount off both the front lip and the back lip until you get them to slip in place without any pressure. They should slide right up without any force the same as the front ones. Don't take too much off. Just a little at a time with a dremmel tool and keep trying them until you get it just right. Then when you apply the tape, they will stay in place with the window open at speed. No problem. Another tip is to get the thicker 3m two way tape and use it in place of the tape provided from Weather Tech. If you do this along with a little trimming, they will stay in place and you can drive with the windows down all day. Hope this helps.

radrob Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 here's a question,do you still need a hood deflector if you got the 3m protection tape,i just bought a 2012RT and i'm wandering if the deflector would save on the tape?

walker Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 better be carefull about the rear windows when you roll them down. i had the same set and they were in the windows for over 2 weeks and i rolled the right one down while we were stopped and then started driving and before we were even going no more than 25mph it flew right out of the window channlle as the little stickey tape holding them in didnt work very good. ended up takeing the rears off and put them in the shed. but i love the front ones. Just installed a new set and see what you mean about the rears...they simply do not go all the way up into the channel. I removed them and will call customer support tomorrow. I think they are too long and need to be trimmed, but don't want to mess with that until I talk to the company. Custom fit? The fronts were effortless and seemed to fit perfectly. They look so much better than the type that stick to the outside. Chris1276 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to say that I have the kind that stick on the outside on another car and they also increase wind noise as opposed to not having vent visors at all.

walker Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Weathertech customer service had no suggestions, just said they should fit and said I could return them for a refund. I elected to follow the trimming suggestion above. I got them to fit but made a mess of the adhesive in the process. I tried double sided carpet tape which didn't work. After leaving the rear windows closed for a week, when I opened the windows both rears fell out. I called the company and they have sent some more adhesive at no cost. I haven't installed it yet. It sounds like it's not only me having problems with these "Custom made" additions. The fronts fit wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubberdude88 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I just received the front only window deflectors in dark tint. It has been a long process to get them as I went through Chrysler, a dealership and MacNeil Automotive. Over the last three months I have been working with all these companies to address my complaint of water entering the window due to a poor windshield / pillar design. WeatherTech's window deflectors are awesome. They look great, they work and they don't stick to the exterior in any way. Only problem I experienced for the first 48 hours is that the windows would not auto-up. Now that they are seated, the windows go up and down as normal.

rolly Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 That's great to hear. I got the Weathertech floor mats earlier this week and I want to get a set of window deflectors next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRodLincoln Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Mopar lists the window rain guards / deflectors for the journey up to 2010 (82210995) but nothing for the 11-up. Has the body or doors changed on the journey since the 2010 model? I would really like to be able to vent the vehicle when parked on those hot or rainy days.

jkeaton Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Body has not changed, I believe it shold fit. I would call a dealer parts dept. to double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
