WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!!

I bought those visors and 3 of the 4 arrived broken they expected me to ship them back - paypal told me not to - i disputed it w/ my bank because paypal sucks and now I got paypal account that thinks I owe it money

I would recommend NOT buying those visors. Buddies or mine received theirs with no issues but mine were nothing but trouble.

HK-PLUS

BTW they don't always communicate and/or reply to anything you send them, at least in my instance (and they have about 4 email addresses they contact you from)

Oh wow, sorry to hear that.

If they weren't broken, did they seem like they would fit?

I am expecting the worst, but I will just contact my credit card and that will end my problem.

If you go thru the credit card you use to pay PAYPAL then you have a better chance.

I gave up on going thru the PAYPAL system and just call the credit card company.

If you want to take the risk go ahead, I'm just giving you my experience.

If they don't arrive mint - the sender expects them to be shipped back to Hong Kong at your expense.

That and even if you pay via CC its thru PayPal and they protect the seller not the buyer. They accused me of fraud over the phone after I faxed them pictures of the broken pieces of sh$t I received.

Believe me, Amex has never let me down. It protects the buyer.

No offense, but I have been a Amex member since.....I'll be just fine.

However, I am gonna try and stay positive about them.

Maybe, I can get as lucky as your friends.



But again, with the visors you got, if they were not broken, would they look OK?

Very nice. Thanks.

Roll of the dice, I guess.

What is odd about the seller too is that he has the visors for $9.99 BUY IT NOW also.

Why bother bidding, ya know?

The ones I ordered from them were for a completely different car (perhaps the new bB?) and they never contacted me after numerous emails. Caveat emptor.

I once got the wrong PS2 memory card from Hong Kong and I just returned to sender.

I gave it right back to the mail man, the next day.

It can be done.

This is just a lot bigger package.


But again, trying to stay positive.

Did you loose your money Boxer?

I just got them today and they are PERFECT!

At first I thought I found a little scratch but it was glue that came right off.

It would of still been worth it!

I might reinforce with some VHB tape that I have but I am not sure if it nec.

REAL GOOD DEAL!!!!!

ThE bEST DAY ever!!!!!

you are fast!

I would of paid a little more for these, too.

It looks like its in the same baggies as other copies.

The packaging was very good too.

Oh, geez.

It is the same packaging as the other knock-offs.

I just checked a few other threads.

Even the thin tape is the same. They don't seem to have concerns about the tape.

It took less than 2 weeks to get here.

Man, I feel like I stole these!

Hey Cherry?

Would you mind if I asked what MDF is?

I noticed you on a thread mentioning that for fighting window rattle or visor rattle.

not sure what it means or if it applies to me.

thanks in advance

Take some pix when they are on. Looks like HK got the right visors shipping now, too bad for us first batch people that got screwed.

multi-dense fiberboard... just a 1/4" piece of wood to hold it away from the window while you hit it with a heat gun... if they rattle against the window - it applies
