Question access visor install question

question for you guys that have installed these on your car.. did you guys use the extra clips that came in the box... those tiny little screws for the clips are so annoying to work with and did you guys have to take out the window seal ? or can i do it without taking that off

its the rubber peice that the window rolls up to, start at the corner of the rubber peice you should see it, i had trouble installing these at first too, that is why my driver side one is only held on by the tape. I figured out how to position the clips the more i kept looking at everything after getting pissed off on not figuring it out on the driver one. The driver side one is still on pretty good, but i think im gonna put on the clips soon and retape.

i started off with the driver side front but i think im going to try again and do the rear first since it looks easier

Use the clips/hardware that comes with it. Just keep working the weatherstripping, it'll come out.

i didnt remove anything, and never used the "extra clips"

i used the clips for both ends and used the 3m-tape that came on the visors and broke 130mph in that car with just that. the extra clips are unnecessarry unless your trying to ward off theives for a few more seconds...

not needed in my opinion.. especially not worth removing seals for.

kdawg, so you just 3m taped the visors on? no working back the weatherstripping, clips or anything?

the thing is, the one clip which is kind of squiggly is on when i bought it. i would like to just tape it... however it is in the way. anybody know i if i can get this off without breaking it?

i jus put it on without taking no weather stripping off... i just peeled back the ribbon on the tape on the visors and put it on slowly so its perfectly in line and thats all it took me like 10-15 mins to install em.... i washed my car before i did it though so everything is clean
