One of first parts I got for my car, that I didn't install, was a JDM replica Window Visor. However, I wasn't pleased with the way the replicas looked, especially since I know what the genuine ones looked like. So I ended up re-selling them rather quickly. I noticed right away with this car that the low angle of the windshield allowed water to wrap around the a-pillar significantly, and wanted to get the visors to remedy the situation. 3 years go by, and with the minimal numbers of car washes my car gets, my a-pillar often look like it has dirt/watermark tentacles wrapped around it.
I had recently helped a good friend install a I.C.E. system complete with GPS navigation, DVD player, USB and iPod integration, and reverse camera. We then also retrofitted turn signal mirrors on his car, which turned out to be a much bigger job than anticipated.
Being the great guy he is, instead of thanking me with a case of beer, he purchased the genuine JDM HondaAccess Slimline window visors for me, and even installed them for me on my car to show his gratitude.
I absolutely love these visors. Very discreet, they are so sleek looking and barely stick out at all. The tint on them also helps with the afternoon sun on my drive home in the afternoon. They're very well made with clips and double-side tape to secure them to the car, and also visually lower the roof line of the car making it seem less tall and bubbly. Installation is very easy. And with the clips, you don't have to worry too much about lining them up right before pulling the backing of the tape.
1. Install the clips onto the visors. Roll down the windows and remove the upper portion of the window seals from its channel.
2. Prep the adhesive surface with rubbing alcohol.
3. Clip in the visors, and replace the window seals (start with the corners first, it will be a lot easier than doing them last).
4. Roll windows back up to hold the visors more securely in place. Remove the backing from the double-side tape, press down to stick to door.
That's it, you're done.
