The only one I can find is from the Auto Fashion site. These visor parts come direct from Japan, so expect to pay a generous amount for shipping and a longer lead time. I haven't seen these visors in person on an ES, so I don't know how good or effective they are.

Call up Gordon or Collin at Carson Toyota and see if they can source some for you. JDM Toyota parts for the Windom.

Question

This confuses me I have a 2000 and I see no way of putting rain guards on. How can you open the door with them on?? Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

That's why I question these guards in my previous post. I've seen them on many Windoms from the pics posted in this forum, but it's hard to imagine how these guards would fit in the frameless doors in our gen ES.

IMO rain guards should belong on pick-up trucks and SUV's, not on classy luxury sedans like ours, but that's just me

I'm not sure how good they will look actually on the car (Thanks for the link Doug, I just wish the picture was of better quality or a lot closer) in person as I assume they attach to the side parts of the roof of the car since the side windows are frameless. I wonder how they would hold up in automatic car washes over the years........soft touch & touchless. Just my 2 cents.

I agree! Moonroof Visors don't even look good on the ES. It just sucks when it's raining out because if you have the window cracked just a little it pours in.
