    I have a spare set of GR Window Visors (minus the driver rear) if anyone's visors flew off. I haven't had any issues with it other than the trunk recall where the dealer had to remove my rear visors to fix. One of my visors flew off when I stuck it back on so I ordered a new set.

    Grabbed a set of OE window visors from the dealer. Install looks straight forward just two clips and double sided tape. Surprised to see these were made in Japan so expecting good quality. Will follow-up with pics once I get them on.

    Got the OE window visors done on the weekend I always put window visors on my cars. Quality on these are top notch made in Japan glad I went with these over less expensive aftermarket.

    Install is super easy there are two clips the clips don't actually clip on to the frame more to help the visor sit on to the window frame. The visor is held on only with 3M tape. Key is to make sure the visor is lined up with the window frame before it sticks down then just slowly pull off the tab and apply some pressure to the sticky parts and done.

    Overall I love the aesthetic love how it sits nice and flush and the color is perfect too it's clear with a slight tint but not too dark.

    In my experience; you need the check the double stick tape every fall. The leading edge tends to loosen up and start flopping around, due to the hot summer heat any you blasting down the road at over 75 mph. So buy a small roll of that double-sided adhesive tape to fix that. The best time to do this is when it's still warm outside. The hotter it gets the loser the adhesive gets.

    Looks great; also check it, if you hear dash board rattles - It could be that visor rattling around in the wind.

    Back when I was a kid, my dad always had window visors on his cars. This was back in the day in the old country where no cars except for luxury makes were air conditioned. Most cars there had widow visors and they were always chrome. Window visors allowed you to drive with the window cracked down an inch or two in order to allow air to circulate while keeping out most of the draft and, perhaps more importantly, rain if it was raining. Now that all cars are air-conditioned and are driven with the windows closed, what are window visors for?

    You answered your own question. Rain & air circulation - some of us don't like the car's interior from getting too hot while we're working and it keeps the rain out, if it rains.

    So you drive with your window cracked open? The only time I ever do so here in the Pacific NW is if someone hasn't showered or has farted in the car! Otherwise, I keep the windows closed to keep rain or pollen out.

    Yep, summers are brutally hot and if you don't have your windows cracked - opening the door would be like sticking your face in a blast furnace. Interior would take longer to cool down too. I don't get wind buffering until I lower the glass below the visor. It's also great for the occasional car camping.
