Default Installing Rumion Vent Visors

Anyone who installed their Rumion Window Vent Visors, / rain deflectors.. can help out with my install..
As you may have guessed, the instructions are in japaneese But the pictures do help. Trouble is, the pictures are tough for me to figure out.
You'de think they would be simple, but the clips are a bugger to figgure..
I have been going over & over it, & I sure could use a bit of help..

So if you have done this , PM me or reply in the thread......... or if you can translate japaneese for me, lettme know too. thanks......

From what i remember.. all i did was stick the visor on first and then clip the whole thing together with the clips they gave me... but it was a while ago... so i dont quite remember it well..

Cause they're JDM. JDM = japanese domestic market, IIRC. They have to be imported from Japan. So not only are you paying for the part, you're paying for shipping, importing fees, etc.

IMO, the Rumion ones look better than the WeatherTech ones. But they have the Rumion badging, and I most certainly don't have a Rumion. Almost like slapping a Lexus emblem on the xB... Just my opinion.

Plus, I'm not a fan of vent visors anyway.

Thats ok.

But that leads me to the question, is rumion the name in japan for scion? And if so, do they have an american version? I Like the look of these too, but can't find an american version.

Well, the 1st gen's brother in Japan was the bB. The 2008 bB is an entirely different vehicle from our Scion line. The Toyota Corolla Rumion is the Japanese version of our Scion xB.

Any questions?

Yes, they cost a hella lot, but in my opinion, they are the best looking ones I've seen so far, so for me, a personal choice to buck up & $pend$ the extra $$ on the best ones... jh

We were working on a lower grille, but the supplier for the metal went of of business. I am trying to get them to do a arm rest.
