HIC rear window visor install question

For those that have the rear visor... Did you leave a gap between the roof and the window or did you completely cover the channel?

Here's how i installed mine but only about half an inch of tape seem to make contact ( i added new double sided tape). I installed mine with the gap

I believe it wont make that much of a difference.. Just add more 3m tape if it starts to come up.

I had mine set at same line as the glasses - more adhesive area is safer !

Right to the edge of the glass and no further. Mine fit the edge of the glass perfectly.

I left the channel alone and just stuck it on the glass surface only.
