Fitting aftermarket rain visors

**hiko** · 22-07-2008 10:49 AM

Hi,

i bought a set of after market rain visors off ebay and i am having trouble fitting it, it only has a 3M tape on all sides but it doesnt stick on hard enough, it falls off after a few seconds, so i tried calling Rick Damelian to try get some OEM clips that they use for OEM visors and they advise they dont sell this seperately,

has anyone fitted any of these before and how do you secure them so they dont case accidents when driving?

Cheers

buying the fake one is a big No NO.

True.I bought copy's,they fell off after a week!

I wouldn't use glue,cut your losses and throw em' away.

You are meant to clean the trim with proper silicone remover before you stick it on.

Yup,I realised I had to do something like that after it fell off

I didn't like it anyways.

There is a version of the 3M tape that is used to stick the steel panels instead of using rivets on the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia. So with proper surface prep, the bond can be very strong.

just a side note, the double sided tape 3M residue is a bitch to clean on a jazz.

I went to the viewing level at the towers.It's Freaking high as,the top must be crazy high! it looks so cool from the bottom.

Yeah big no no to the glue idea! Mugen ones are way too over priced for what they are. Honda parts in Artarmon quoted me $90 or $95 (can't remember which one) for a set of genuine ones.

Goto Bunnings and get the 3M Exterior Mounting Tape(super strong), these can hold up to 2-3kgs but need to be cut to size. is around $10bucks for a roll.
