Had a weathershield on one of my early 4wds and modified it via a close encounter of an arborial kind. Never replaced it.
How many
forum members have them? Do you think them worthwhile? What brands are good?
I like to drive with the window down at slower speeds but SWMBO does not like the noise/draft. Thinking of getting a weathershield as a possible solution as I am planning to do a lot more 4wd travelling soon.

yeah i reckon there great ,they help in the rain too so you can drive with your window down a bit and it will stop the inside of the windscreen fogging up and lets in a bit of fresh air as

Hi Alastair
Have weathershield (Genuine Toyota) on both sides of my Prado 120 and I do find them good for driving around at low speed. Also in rain they are good to keep some air flow going and stop fogging up (saves using the air-conditioning to demist).
On hot days you can leave windows down a small amount for coolness and not worry with the unexpected arvo shower.
Cheers

Alistair
I have a 'bubble' type on one vehicle and a 'slimline' type on another.
The bubble one is good. At speed very little noise and all the benefits.
The slimline is noisy and the wind buffets all around the cab. I wouldn't have another slimline if they are all the same as this one. I've asked since, but apparently Toyota don't sell a bubble type now.
