I used to believe that Weathertech was a stand up company that stood behind their products, but that sure is not the case.
I have their wind deflectors (front/back and sunroof) on my 2004 4Runner. I've had them maybe 3 or so years, not really sure.
For some reason the passenger front deflector has started to fade, it's almost clear now. It's very noticeable, and it's the only one doing this. The other 3 are just fine, and the sunroof are fine.
So there is something wrong with this one deflector, a defect of some kind causing it to fade.
So I emailed Weathertech about it, thinking if they saw the pictures of it, they would cover it, no problem.
Well got a response back, they don't even want to see the pictures, here is their response.
They expect me to fork over another $27 to get a replacement.
So just wanted to warn anyone who wants to buy anything from Weathertech. Their warranty is crap!!!
I've had the no name el cheapos from the auto parts store never fade on my last 4Runner. So I thought paying the extra for Weathertech meant I would never have any problems what so ever, and if I did. They would take care of it. So much for that!
Here are some images to show what's happening. Keep in mind my 4Runner is parked in the garage most of the time too!! So it's not sitting out in the sun everyday.
You can really see it in this image.

and here is the drivers side, so you can see how it looks when it isn't faded.
