window deflectors

I'm looking for some window deflectors for my 2002 corolla. I ordered some from a website which stated they specifically fit and when I got them, they didn't fit... I don't feel like running around and ordering a bunch of crap and having to keep sending it back. Anyone have a link or place that they KNOW fit?

thanks

Which company did you try and get them from?

WeatherTech ones fit my truck perfectly, that would be one vendor that I'd look into.

Another tip is to ask for part numbers for the 2001, 2002, and 2003 model years. On more than a couple of occasions, I've found that vendor's look-up chart should that a 2002 is a 9th gen Corolla (North American market - 2003 to 2008), instead of an 8th gen Corolla (1998-2002). Lots of times, I'll ask for a 2001 Corolla part for my 2002 Corolla, to avoid getting the wrong part. The 2001 and 2002 model years were identical, aside from some exterior bit - dealer or port installed options.

They were from finaltouchautomotive.com through ebay, brand was Wade. It was only $50 for all 4 pieces, they seemed of decent quality. The package said they were for 1998-2002 corollas, but..like I said it didn't actually fit.

I checked weather tech out, for $60 they only have the front pieces and they are not smoked.

I see - yeah, those peel-and-stick types are more universal than designed for a specific application, I've seen many that just don't fit.

The WeatherTech ones are pretty pricey, but they were interference fit, slide right into and snapped into the window channel, low profile, and lightly tinted.
