Greetings, I've been shopping for window deflectors to put on my XLT Ranger and have been unable to locate some that actually fit. I ordered AVS stick-on window deflectors from Amazon, which the website said they would fit a 2024. However, the top of the front window seal does not have much area for the window deflectors adhesive tape. Thus they do not fit properly. I've always had luck with the in-channel AVS window deflectors, but I cannot find any for the 2024 model. Seems that many of the window deflectors state for models 2019-2024, which I am now not buying.

So, any suggestions on window deflector brands? I looked on weathertech's site and it appears they only have 2023 window deflectors as the latest fit. AVS' website doesn't show me anything.

I too like that as that's exactly what my truck looks like. Thank you much! I was looking at those but balked due to how many times I've seen different pairs for different models.

They work great! 3 things to know. 1. They come with company badging on both front deflectors but do not worry, they are tacked on like 2 sided tape and come off easy with no residue. 2. It'll take a good week and some warm days for them to settle in comfortably without the auto up/down safety stop kicking in. 3. I also had my windows tinted and after 5 days with the windows up after allowing tint to cure, they do not damage the tint at all.

I love them.

Thanks, good to know those things.

Thanks for the info. The matte finish looks great.

Thanks for the compliment. I think so too. They look even better with a layer of 303 automotive protectant on them. It deepens them up.

I was just looking at your truck in detail and noticed you have a bug deflector on the front. I have had AVS deflector's before and thought they really didn't do too much considering I still got a lot of bugs on my windshield (maybe fewer then if I didn't have it though, who knows). That's a different style then I've seen; looks good and low profile. Seems to match your window deflectors. Is it an EGR?

It's A Lund, from the Ford website. It matches because of the Matte Black. I was a little worried because of "the bump" and how it would look. I think it turned out awesome. It really beefs up the look of the truck, even though it's just a stick on.

Thanks for the info. I think it matches from what I can see in the photo. Very interesting, stick on eh? I've never had a "stick on" bug deflector. Again, thank you for all the information you have provided.

Oh yeah, they match the wind deflectors perfectly. I should add, regarding them being stick on. the kit comes with a couple of alcohol swabs and a "pre-glue" liquid that you apply before you tape it down permanently. It's from 3M so I don't think it's going anywhere. I even pressure wash every time I wash my truck. No issues at all (so far).

The Ford Accessory units are about the best I’ve found fo the Window Deflectors. Everything is tape on and I wish they were both clip-with tape. Stay away from the AVS and EGR doesn’t list them for the Ranger yet.???
