    I just found these on ebay and notice that they are held by 3m + clips just like the OEM. I also notice that it came with the same hardware and spacer like the OEM. Also they are like 1/4 of the price of the OEM. So I order them and try it.

    I place the order and receive it in 2 days due to the fact they are located in California, so shipping was fast for me. Once I got it, it was package in a very safe and secure box so the visor won't break or crack.

    It came with the clips and the wipe. The instructions can be found on youtube and is very easy to install. First you wipe the windows side clean. Then put line up the visor with the clips and then remove the Styrofoam from the end and line it up with the edge with the windows open. Then peel the 3m tape and line it up with the windows. Once it is done lining up, you install the clips onto the metal clips and that's it. The install took me about 15 mins to do and the out come came out really good. These are good alternative over the OEM. The OEM is just so ridiculous price due to shipping from Japan. They do not stick out like the other brands do and they sit flush with the car. For 46 dollars shipped this is a very good product and mod for any one looking for Windows visor.

    I have mine installed last weekend and they do look good. They sit pretty flush with the body of the car and that's exactly what I'm going for. Install was easy. Took me 20 minutes. One thing I noticed is that they are not really see through. It's blurry when you look through them. I had a set of Weathertech visors on my old car and the visibility through them was a non-issue. Same goes for my wife's car with the Weathertech as they are clear.

    ya but the material is thicker that's why. I have them on my rx350 and they were better then my weather tech one. The weather tech one I had snap off when one of the car washer was closing the door.

    Here my pictures. By my feelings, it is good material,thick plastic,durable. Well spent 48$
    The car looks nicer. But becareful dont crack rear window if u not in the car. The rain will get in. If u park under hot day and dont want to be steam when grt in the car, just crack the front window. If rain,water will not get in. I test it under Fl hevay rain

    I know this is a older post.. but looking for a good set of window visor. I like these except for the little button cover for the screws. Are they as apparent in person? thanks!

    Yes, they are. But in my opinion, they are OK. They are plastic button.

    1. They do work as designed
    2. The buttons are not ugly. I like this design because the visor support by the metal clip and 3M glue.
    3. They are quiet on HY. The only noise i hear Is form the road
    4. It just "ok" because the rear visor doesn't cover well. There is small gap even though u just crack rear window a little bit to avoid high temp In car when park under the sun. When it rains,water easyly get inside

    I couldn't do it just because of the plastic button for the hardware.. I got this set from eBay for $20 shipped.

    The fit is fine. the only area that I see an issue maybe where the window trimm transitions. Water will get through but I didn't buy these for that purpose. It was to be able to leave the windows cracked while parked. Also, reduce wind blowing right in the car when on the freeway. ..

    So far so good.. no noise and looks clean. Ready for warmer temps!

    The issue with the 3m one is that they break due to the material, it is so thin that having it for like 2-3 years, the visor will break when you washing your car or just closing the door. I used to have them on my old car and they break after 2-3 years!

    Yes, I can tell. I dont' see why the 3M will break down? it's the same tape used on body molding.

    it is the material, not the 3m that will break down. I am talking about the visor cracking.
