3rd Gen 4Runner & Hilux Surf Window Visors (96–02)

Window visors and weathershields for the 3rd Gen 4Runner / Hilux Surf (N180/N185, 1996–2002). Drive with the windows down in the rain, keep the cabin ventilated overnight, cut wind noise on the highway — that's what a good set of weathershields does. Slimline and full-profile options, tinted acrylic, custom-cut for the 3rd Gen window shape.

Fitment

Direct-fit for the 3rd Gen 4Runner / Hilux Surf, 1996–2002 (N180/N185). Some sets cross-fit late 2nd Gen and early 4th Gen — Airplex specifically lists 3rd & 4th Gen 96–05 fitment on its slimline set. Listings show the exact fitment window.

What's In This Collection

The Surf Syndicate slimline weathershield / monsoon guard set (low-profile, doesn't catch wind), Airplex's slimline weathershield set (premium tinted acrylic, 3rd–4th Gen cross-fit), and the full-profile sets for trucks that want maximum rain coverage. 3M tape mounting, no drilling.

Why Choose Surf Syndicate

Cheap universal weathershields rarely sit flush on a 3rd Gen — the door frame geometry catches them out. Every set on this page is cut to the 3rd Gen template and has been mounted on a real truck. NZ shipping, fast.

FAQ

Slimline or full profile — which? Slimline is the modern look — sits low, doesn't whistle at highway speed, lets you wash the truck without snagging. Full profile gives more rain coverage but catches more wind and looks bulkier.

Will they stay on long-term? Yes — they mount with automotive 3M VHB tape. Surface needs to be clean and dry at install time, and we recommend not washing the truck for 48 hours after fitting.

Will they affect window operation? No — they sit above the window line and clear the window in any position.
