Default Need help! w/ esam visor install.

I looked in the tech and can't find anything on them. My problem is I can look at the pictures but some words would make it easier to understand what i'm looking at. If you can help me w/ this or can direct me to someone who can I would apreciate that.
Thanks everyone Jesse

Default ...ESAM is the MAN....

The ESAM visors are great! Yes, I can help you. You bought a set and see that the instructions are in Japinese.
Check that all parts were provided.
Clean the door frames.
Peel back the red tape covering about 2 inches on each end.
Once visor is in place, you will pull out the red tape covering so leave an inch or two sticking out so you can grab it. Those fasteners work like body fasteners, push it in and it locks in place.
Use the plastic clips that go under the rubber window liner. Pull down the window liner and insert the clips. Once visor is secured with the clips, pull out the red covers and push the visor against the door for a full minute. Do the same for all 4 windows.
Read many install threads for the E-SAM visors. Search for E-SAM's.
I just failed inspection for my E-SAM's. Virginia says visors can only hang down two inches. mine were measured at 4 inches. You never want to take these off, they are designed to remain on your car forever. Also failed for EYELIDS on my headlights and failed for not approved tail lamps. I cut off my eyelids, swapped out my tail lights with the stock ones that I kept just in case of this. I went to another shop and I passed so my E-SAM's will stay on for at least another year. Good Luck, Post Photos.

Damn, VA stinks. I sure wouldn't want to live there. We don't have inspections here. it's rural. Heck I could cut off all the emisions and nobody would every know it. LOL

Maryland is only inspected if you get pulled over ad given a repair order. Or when you first buy a used car. But thanks for your help guys appreciate that.

The main thing about installing them is to make sure the mating surfaces are clean using rubbing alchol. After they are mounted leave the window up for a few days for the rubber seals to get well aquanted with the new visors. Also try to drive as little as possible and avoid driving in the rain to give it time to stick real good.
