JDM Window Visors Install

I already used the search, and found nothing.

If anyone can help me with this, I'm trying to figure out how to install my JDM Window Visors.

Thanks!!

I did it without any directions myself so u should b fine. Start by removing the weather stripping from the entire top portion of the window. eyeball along the window frame where the clips will line up with the visor. start at the bottom and hold each clip on while you reinstall the weatherstripping over them, you may have to move them a lil after the weather stripping so they line up with the visor but this is not an issue (note: each clip has a corresponding letter to match on the visor) nows the time to attach the visor. the very last "clip" should b self explainatory. slide the "bolt" through and attach the "circle clip".....once you get the first one done, the second one is a breeze

the mojority of the small screws are what attach the visor to the clips. the push clips/screws are for the top corner of each visor. do you have the clips installed and the weatherstripping back on? just out of curiosity, where did you purchase the visors from? its really not that hard, i promise lol

if he drives 130 everywhere he goes, i give him mad props for a few things 1) not being locked up in jail 2) having his Ls still 3) having his car still 4) having his life still

i got them for $119 brand new, thats not a beatable price, so I'm not stressing.

Unfortunately, I've checked google, yahoo and altavista. As well as PO, BAP, SCP, NTPOG, Hawaii Prelude, Honda Tech etc etc and not found an install write up. I tried using the writeup for 4gs but that didnt work.

i have 10 clips. which I'm guessing correspond to the 5 holes on each visor (5x2=10). The problem is, when I just took off my weather stripping, which was old and dried out and fcking RIPPED there were only 2 holes to be found.

if anyone can tell me how to put 5 screws/brackets into 2holes, it'd be greatly appreciated.

or if there is anyone willing to take some pics, and show me how, i won't be afraid to send some money via paypal. but it needs to be a 5g, cause it's not gonna help if its a 4g.

i already peeled back the weather stripping, and there were two hole, and theres 5 holes on each visor, so i dont know what i'm doing wrong, or if im pulling off the wrong stripping. its just pissin me off.

those holes inside the window confused me @ first too but they serve no purpose for the install. the screws are too big/small for those holes anyways arent they? i think those holes are for a usdm visor. i dunno who you bought the visors from but i know i didnt have 10 screws. mine came with just enough screws to attach the visor to the clips; the clips themselves actually "clipped" into my window and i had to move them once my weather stripping was back on so they lined up with their mounting locations on the visor. i really dont know what to tell ya past this point, only that i took me about 1.5 hrs n i was done

Only 2 of the 5 brackets on each side need to be screwed into the window, hence only the 2 holes. The other 3 are just held in place by the weather stripping. Hope this helps. Also make sure the correct brackets are on the correct sides as some (can't remember if all) are meant to be on the driver/passenger side.

But one thing that I was never able to figure out is, how do I attach the plug into the clip at the end of the visor?

edit: There should be a total of 10 brackets (only 4 w/ 2 screw holes, others only 1 screw hole to mount the visor), 2 plugs, and 12 screws.

they are genuine honda access.

I have the box it came in, brand new.


both visors were still in wrapping.



i have 3 baggies, with separations and labels for all the items:

Bag 1:
No name (2) - Black clips, like push clips, much like a lot of other push clips that hold in panels, your grill, trunk lining
Washer (2) - 2 black washers
Screw (8) - Black, small round top screws



Bag 2:
Screw Flat (4) - Silver, small flat top screws
Brkt D (4) - 4 black brackets, larger in size




Bag 3:
Brkt A (2) - 2 black brackets, smallest in size
Brkt B (2) - 2 black brackets, medium
Brkt C (2) - 2 black brackets, medium




Absolutely NO instructions, not even in japanese. this is ridiculous.

Washers should go with the push clip pin (I think).

I forget how to install them BUT they were easy to install even without the directions. Just match up the clips to the holes and figure out which clip will fit where. That's what I think I did. heh.

And yes, the small screws are easy to lose. I lost two and ended up using some random small screws I had.
