Well sense i couldnt find anything on this and it was my first time doing so i figured ide do a short writeup to make things easier on other people.
First thing i wasnt to sure if i wanted them, if i wanted stick on, or in channel. and i couldnt really find pics to get an idea so here are some.
Without
Stick on
In-Channel
So now for me the answer was pretty obvious.
Well my first install didnt go so well because of the lack of directions that came with the vent visors (avs btw). I was thinking they were defective because they were not fitting properly and the window wouldn't go up so i defected that set out and obtained another.
Now for the correct way to install these and save you guys a headache of trimming them or anything else.
Make sure its somewhat warm or atleast heat up the 3m tape with hair dryer so that it can stick to its surface.
First clean the inside of the channel with the handy alcohol wipes they provide you with.
Next step is the most important part and i think why many people have problems with the fitment.
See the edge where the rubber meets the paint on the edge of the window. The plastic tab that does not have 3m tape on it has to go in between these.This is what hold the visor forward so that the window doesn't get caught on the way up.
Peel back the tape a little on each end before putting it in. This makes it easy to remove just in case the fitment is not correct.
Put the window up to ensure that it does not get stuck on the way up. Then back down a bit if everything checks out.
Now start from one side and remove the 3m tape plastic slowly.
Put window back up and kind of tug behind the visor to ensure the tape is sticking to the inside channel.
All done.
