Installing JDM Window Visors

Type: Cosmetic
Time: 30-40 min
Tools: heat gun/hair dryer (optional depending on area)

I got these from Nigel-jdmparts.com I ordered them on a Tuesday and got them on a Monday. Very fast ordering process and delivery

In the box you get the left and right visors plus some very detailed instructions and two guides so that you set both visors in the correct area.

First you want to roll, down th windows and prepare the area by rubbing some alcohol where the visors will be attached to the body. Per the instructions you want to do one wipe from the front to the back.

Next you need to place the guides. The back one lines up with the line where the front and rear trim pieces meet:


The front one lines up with where the body panel lines up with wind shield:


The rear of the visor is marked with a tab. Pull up the tab so that the sticky part is exposed:


Place on the car to line it all up. DO NOT press down on the sticky end yet:


The tabs (seen below)go between the black trim piece and the body. Note that there is a small chanel between the front part of the trim and the back. The visors will not go in and you might break the tabs if you force it down in this area.



You will hear a 'click' once the tabs have gone in correctly. To make sure they are in by gently trying to lift the visors out. You will not be able to lift them out and will feel a small tug.

Once it is lined up with the rear press down on the part with the exposed sticky end to set the visor in place:


The back of the visor lines up with the guide you placed on the the rear of the black trim.

The front will not line up but there should be an even gap between the visor and the guide.

Remove the sticker backing to expose the sticky end along the entire visor and press down on the visor starting at the rear and going to the front.

Press down on the visor a couple of times to make sure that it all sticks.

Optional for colder areas: instructions say to heat the area from under the visor on the window side to help the visor to stick. It's been close to 100 here is other California so I didn't do this part.

Ok, ok I'll get the daylight pics as soon as I can. Forgot to take my DSLR to the Tanabe/Club 4AG meet. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow in the daylight.

Yes, these are OEM JDM parts.
