So I bought the JDM thin window visors, but I should have known the instructions would be in Japanese lol, can someone give me an easier way than tryin to look at these pictures to install them, and do you think they are even worth it??

haha, yep StockLS gave me a few tips, and they worked well
I have a couple pics, I'll see if I can post them, but in the meantime:

I bought mine brand new from heeltoe (marcus) here on HT, and didn't install them for months cause the directions were in japanese and all the threads I had found here and in the itr forum all said how difficult it would be and would require cutting and making holes, etc....

I didn't want to cut my window moldings, just incase I would want to go without the visors in the future. So StockLS told me I didn't have to do any cutting of te moldings or screwing into the door at all....after a couple back and forths with him, this is what I ended up doing:

1. Open the door and lower the window

2. Remove the small rubber cover from the verticle side of the window above the door handle.

3. you'll then see three screws, unscrew them.

4. after unscrewing them, slide the window molding down so that the screw holes aren't lined up anymore.

5. then peel away the rest of the molding, making sure to not pull it down any further than you have to, just enough so it hangs down from the top of the window to the top of where the molding touches the mirror. do not peel off the top molding that's around your door frame
here's a pic of what it should look like when you've taken the molding down far enough:


6. This was the tricky part for me now you have to find the proper clips for the correct part of the visor; the smaller clips will go closer to the mirror, while the larger clip toward the back of the door above where you removed the three screws.

7. If attached correctly to the visor, the visor will sorta clip into place, make sure it's lined up correctly on the door/window...the back side should not go past the window touching the rear of the door frame, and should line up nicely with were the molding comes down to the mirror.

8. At this point you have to start refitting the molding back into place, start close to the mirro and work your way over. Don't focus on making it fit snug where the visor clips are...it won't (at least not at first).

9. Once you have worked your way to the back, slide up the molding so the three screw holes line up with the holes on the door again; put the screws back in.

10. You'll find the rear where the screws are back in fits more snug than the front close to the mirror. Here's where you have to finesse it, try to fit the moldings the best you can around the visor clips, and make sure the rest of the molding is in snug to where it should be under the upper door molding.

11. The outside of the visor (the visors rubber strip) should be flush with your door, insert the black fastener into the small hole at the back of your visor, and you can place a small piece of double sided tape at the rear of the visor where it has some foam, hold it in place for about a minute till it holds firmly....don't use much and trim away the excess so it's not noticeable...then use a bacl permanent marker to color the white part of the double sided tape, and you won't notice it.

12. At this point, it still won't be snug around the clips (a result of not cutting nothces into the molding, feel free to cut notches), but bring the windows up and make sure the close tightly, and the molding doesn't come off.

13. After a couple days of keeping the windows up and the heat, my moldings took a shape a bit, and the fit was more snug...i was able to remove the doublesided tape, and it fits nicely...it's not perfect when examined closely, but from a few feet away looks great....not bad for a quick and reversable install.

I'm sure others have done a cleaner and more accurate install, but hope this helps...once you get into it, you might bang your head a couple times, but overall it's not hard at all, and pretty logical.

here are a few pics of the finished product from different angles:

On the box, it doesnt say "Window Visor", it says "Roof Visor". It confused me at first but they call it that cause it mounts to the weather striping around the upper door jamb instead of the door itself.

Oh, BTW. Im selling these! I sold a set to BUMANGO. Pm me if you're interested.

I was thinking the same thing...BUT how do you open your door with the windows all the way up? You will bust either the visor or glass...I'm confused..

they probably have a real small profile and are flared so it doesn't get in the way.

guess we'll know as soon as bumango and monkeyDA post their DIY's

Haha, come on guys. This is a OEM Honda Access item not WeatherTech No double stick tape or busted glass. Like what CliffJumper mentioned, the DB8 visors flare out a bit more to clear the window when the door opens and it has a very thin profile compared to the DC visors. Really flexible, you could nearly bend then into a circle without cracking.

The DB8 visors are also one piece, they go from the side mirror all the way to the end of the rear window.

Only $145 new in box

Wow..you sell them? If so I want a set for my DB7...

Spec R

DB window visors mount on the car, under a weather strip. As said, the profile is thin and flared, to allow the doors to be opened with the windows all the way up.
