I need help.. I cannot understand the manual on how to put these window visors on.

Can anybody help?

 

you have a copy of the instructions?

 

First off, I would forget about the clips that come with it. The 3m tape seems to have worked fine for everyone that I have talked to. Mine have been on for around six months with no problems. One suggestion I have is to start by just removing the backing of the tape at the corners. That way if you don't center it right you can pop it off and try again. Once all four are aligned correctly, grab the corner of the tape that you have bent back and pull it off (while the visors are still tacked on). Then press firmly to stick them on well. Also, don't use the cleaning pad they give you to pre-clean the surface. Some have reported paint damage from using it. Just make sure its nice and clean before putting them on.

 

the 3m tape works perfect. the clips are a little tricky, but you can put them on for the hell of it. by doing so, just use the rubber plug and that plastic piece that fills in the hole. you don't necessarily need to use the metal clip that is comes with. the clips are somewhat pointless because they don't really help. other than that, Minsk99 gave a pretty good description about installing them. good luck!

 

Please dont be lazy and not install the clips,Why buy something and put it on your ride half assed,the clipsmake it complete.

 

i e'sams visors...post up pics after they are installed. and how much did you pay for them and how long did it take to get them?

 

I am about to install the e'sam window visor. Has anybody notice before install that the window visor are not long enough as shown as in the pics.

What I mean the visor leaves a gap between the tip and the side mirror black housing. In the manual the window visor goes all the way down to the side view mirrow.

can anybody show there pics of there e'sam window visor install

 

I do have instuctions, but they are in japanese

 

Lazy has nothing to do with it. The more time I get to work on my car the better! They are not necessary and some have reported negative results from putting them on (scratches in paint). This was told to me by bbist who I bought them from and who has installed them the same way on his ride. The time difference of installing w/ clips and without is probably on the order of five minutes or less. I was giving a suggestion based on experience people have had w/ this install.

 

I have them on my scion,and the complete install WITH clips took 10 min.Its like buying rims and not installing the center caps,Please!

 

Thanks Scion4life.

That's absurd. There is absolutely NO aesthetic difference AT ALL! If your clips make you feel good... well then great for you, but to say that its like "not installing center caps" on wheels is completely ridiculous. They serve little if any purpose and the possible downsides of installing them probably outweigh the reasons for putting them on. MANY SL members who expend loads of time and effort on their rides have opted not to put them on for this reason. I know that they came in funky, little Japanese packaging and all, but that's not reason enough to put them on if they might do more harm then good. Just out of curiosity what is it that you think is so important about these clips aside from some obsessive compulsive need to put them on?

 

It is the difference between the $50 in channel piece of crap ones,and having true,I just paid $300,quality.Cutting corners is a way of life,how are you living?Are you getting out of it what your putting in?SOOOOOOOO you would pay $2000 for a flat screen VS $200 for a wal mart special,and be happy if it had no remote,you can still get your lazy ___ up and push the buttons,for god sake,use and enjoy what you paid for.

 

That is silliness. If the reason you paid the extra $275 was in any way related to those little clips that you can not see and serve no purpose then... well... I just don't know what to say to that. I always thought that what made the E'sam cool was the water tight seal, the fact that they were designed to circulate the air in through the front and out through the rear and the fact that they look slick. There is nothing wrong with using your brain and making a smart installation decision despite what the directions say to do. These clips serve about as much purpose as the logo stickers that come with aftermarket parts. Additionally, if you believe that "cutting corners is a way of life" perhaps you ought to start with typing complete sentences and using punctuation that somewhat resembles the type of "lifestyle" you have been alluding to.

 

You are correct,I do have a problem with my typing,not my window clips. This is silly as you said,and will stop after this post. You can have the last comment and say whatever you think is witty and makes you feel good. The point still remains that 8 little clips make the difference between E's and the **** that gets his from Pep Boys!So it has been fun, Real, but not real fun.
