There are 3 clips you need to mount under the door seal in each front window, and one in the rear.
For the front: pull the rubber seal out from the door at the top until it reaches the sides (check the picture in the Japanese instructions, it will show the seal hanging at the top with just an inch or so out on the side.) Surprisingly the seal goes back in pretty easily, although it looks like it will be a b*tch when you first pull it out.
Then position the visor so you can see approximately where the clips need to be... there is a small tab on the visor front that slips under the panel by the mirror, and some other clip that goes in the frame toward the A-pillar. The clips have a round hole and a rectangular hole - the round hole is to the outside. I located the clips by putting them in the visor to position and then stuffing the door seal back in to hold them. The two front ones are easiest but the rear is kind of a problem because the rear side seal needs to be out to clip in the visor. I sild that into final position after putting the seal most of the way back in. Once I was satisfied with the clip positions I put the visor on and finished putting the seal back in place.
I never figured out a good time to remove the backing on the double stick tape on the visor - so I did not remove it. I just screwed the visor to the clips and it seems to hold OK on the front.
The rear door is easier. There is only one clip to install near the front, and a built in clip on the rear of the visor that is tricky to get to hold. I recommend figuring out a the right time to remove the tape backing for the rear! Mine are not real secure without the tape.

Is this a set of 4? How much did you pay and do you have to use double side tape for this?

I will try to locate the instructions and scan them tonight. Look for an email, or maybe I wll post the scans.

There are some (after install) pics in this thread from a month ago... I wish I'd have taken pics while doing the install!

Did anyone translate the instructions into English?!?!

Or can someone please explain to me exactly what the hell to do, because screwing the visor and sticking with 3M tape at the same time loses me. Please Help !
