Default Absolutely no sells window deflectors/Window Visors for the 1997 ES300 !?

I have searched everywhere, amazon, ebay, car warehouses, EVERYWHERE and cant seem to find any.

I am now wondering if maybe window deflectors made for the same year "camry" would somehow fit ?

Something like these : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visors-Wind-...33569c&vxp=mtr

No one makes them because the doors are frameless, no where to put the rain guards.

They make rain guards for frameless doors, Subarus have had them as a dealer accessory for years when Subies had frameless doors. The design is a little different they don't hang over the window as much since they attach to the body. Some people like that look as they are one continuous piece even on a 4 door car that way.

Pretty sure there was a JDM Windom rain guard set, very popular accessory in Japan, but good luck finding one now!

^ I've searched, and have never found a brochure or mention of a JDM version of these things.

It's probably hard for us to tell, we'd have to go back to 2001 or before to find out who made them could have been aftermarket, just saying they are very popular in Japan almost every OEM offers rain visors for their cars..

But they do exist check out the Windom thread every JDM Windom pic is sporting a set of rain guards!
