    Just installed window deflectors/visors and wanted to share with those who are thinking about doing the same.

    Nice job with the deflectors, I was lucky when I bought my 2009 Gen II (used) the previous owner had done the job already. I removed the OEM hub-caps as I prefer the look of the nekkid wheels (16" touring) and found a set of Toyota-emblemed centres on eBay for $26 (inc. shipping) (they were from China, and so took an age to arrive) Good luck, and Welcome to PriusChat! :)

    Wish there was a way to put an extender on the interior visors.

    Were they hard to install ?
    Are there installation instructions available (I'd like to look at them) ?
    Where did you find them, and how were you assured that they would work on a 2016 ?
    Do they feel firmly attached ? Any loose area's ?

    Great job and they look good!

    I ordered some myself and just received them yesterday. I'll put them on this weekend.

    Don't know if you meant me, but the ones I ordered are NOT in-channel. They are the JDM adhesive mount ones.

    I've had both in the past and I would prefer these because the in-channel after some time will actually scratch the top edge of your windows.

    hmmm...waiting for WeatherTech window visor to come out before deciding, their products are usually good quality. How's the quality on this one?

    I ordered these through ebay:
    JDM VIP Low Profile Window Visor Vent Shade w Clips for 2016 17 4th Gen Prius | eBay
    I wasn't quite sure if the would work on the 2016 prius. I just took the gamble and it fit.

    In terms of instructions, there were none available. I kinda just figured out how to do it on the fly.

    Each deflector/visor has 2 clips/hooks that sit in the door edge. There is then 3M automotive tape along the edges, which then adheres to the door frame. They do feel firmly attached.

    Quality seems decent. Typical ABS plastic. I'll get some closer shots to post in a quick second.

    Good. Those are the same ones I ordered, except from Amazon though it's the same seller on their Marketplace.

    Also Felix, does your car have a sunroof? I wonder if they'll have a similar accessory for the sunroof?

    I do have a sun roof, but did not ask them if they will have a future accessory for it.
