Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and we're gonna be installing the Putco Window Air Deflectors on the front and rears. And compared to a lot of other styles, the Putcos are gonna have a little bit more contours to 'em compared to just the more bubbly style. I think they're gonna look really good on this truck. These wind guards are gonna allow you to roll down your window about an inch and a half to two inches when it's raining and still get some fresh air. They're gonna be made out of a polycarbonate material that is claimed to be virtually unbreakable so when you're driving down the road, any rocks or anything like that's coming off the road in colder temperatures, hotter climates, they're going to resist dents, dings, cracks, and definitely resist breaking so you may not have to get a pair for a long time.
They are gonna have a nice dark tint to 'em too so like on our back windows, if you we're to roll the window down two inches, you don't have the sun shining in, you're still protected with that darker tint. Now as far as the insulation goes, it's gonna be a no-drill or no-cutting insulation. The wind deflector, each one of them are going to have a sticky backing that's gonna stick to the inside of your windowsill. But more importantly, each one of 'em are gonna come with two spacers. For the fronts, they'll go at the top and the bottom, and at the backs they'll go both of them at the top.
This is to help you to be able to close your windows. If you have the automatic safety feature, that will stop it if there's anything getting in the way. Now that we've gone over some of those details, let's go ahead and show you how to get 'em in place. To begin our insulation, you need to roll down your window. We are starting with the passenger front.
The driver's side front is going to be the exact same. Just make sure that you're grabbing the correct air wind deflector. We'll start by peeling off the adhesive backing. You can test at these to see to double check, make sure that you do have the right kit for your vehicle. We did our test fit on the driver's side so we know it's the right kit.
We'll get this peeled off. And then to, in order to get it in place, we tried putting it in this way first. You would think that you'd have to put this way in first, but it's actually a little bit easier if you go up to the rear of the vehicle first at the top of the window and then take this little piece and kind of bend it and put it inside the track. Now if your vehicle is older, this vehicle's pretty new when we're installing these. If it's older, you might wanna take an alcohol wipe or something and run it up inside there, but we've got it stuck. We wanna put a little bit of pressure along the top to try to get it to stick on the inside of that where the window seats. Your kit is going to come with plastic spacers. If your windows have the sensors in 'em, for the safety sensors. The smaller size spacers, which are these, are gonna go on the rear windows and the taller ones are gonna go on the fronts. To get those in place, all you have to do is take the spacer. One's gonna go up here at the top and one will go down here at the bottom and it's essentially just giving it a little bit more space for the window to be able to travel so that it doesn't set off the sensor. So I'll take it, put it in the sill, push it there. This is also gonna help to keep your wind deflector in place if the adhesive we're to ever fail. We'll push it in. You just wanna make sure it's seated all the way against the back wall of the sill. For the rear one on the top, I just pushed it in halfway and I push it back all the way against the back and then took my trim panel tool here. You find the end and then push it up into place and then double check to make sure it's seated all the way back in there. Now we can check to make sure our window closes. Now you will want to leave your windows closed for 24 hours in order for this to properly adhere to the rubber portion on the top of your windowsill. I do recommend parking in the sun if you're in a colder climate. Here, it's about 50 degrees, so we're gonna back this truck into the sun and let that adhesive heat up a little bit, but you definitely wanna leave it for 24 hours so let's go over to the driver's side 'cause that's the window that has the automatic assist, or the safety feature, and see if our window closes over there. So we've got our spacers in place. We can close this automatic window and see that it goes all the way up inside. The problem that our neighbor her
