Visors...

I found these Hic-USA Window visors all over the place for $49.99 a set. Plus a $79.99 for a rear window roof visor. But i don't see anyone running these. Also i did find a genuine set of window visors for $270!! thats ridiculous. Is there even a difference in OEM Genuine window visors compared to aftermarket ones ?? i mean you can practically buy 5 sets of Hic visors for 1 set of Genuine visors. Any input ?

The toyota ones have clips as well as the double stick tape and attach above the black window moulding, while i believe the HIC visors stick on to the black moulding.

I think they both look rather weird, and since the car has frameless windows they can't extend very far down without catching the glass when the door is opened.

The cheap ones are just that - cheap. Don't even breathe near 'em they break.

I know. Trust me.

I exploded mines last winter by "barely" touching them with a snow broom.

But yeah, if they break, at least you won't be crying your heart out....

Don't know about the 270$ ones. I bought cheap one again. And now I'm VERY careful.

Thanks guys. Hm it's hard decision but I mean for $50 bucks can't really go wrong. If they break its only another $50. Instead of $250 lol
