installing door window visors

My friend and I just attempted to install the window visors i just recently bought... we just did the front driver side and we couldn't get the run channel rubber thing to fit back in all the way, however, there seems to be nothing else we can do lol...
now whenever I try to close the window it won't go all the way up and will just automatically come back down and won't close all the way unless i manually hold the button...

have any of u guys experience this problem? and the front two brackets are they suppose to be visible..

help!!!

I had sort of the same problem. I neve installed it completely but I attempted to but it didnt look right to me before I took off the tape. For some reason it didnt go all the way up and didnt fit snug. I just shelled out the 35 bucks to have Acura install and get the warranty also. If you dont think its on right which it sounds like it is'nt I would just suggest to run down to the dealer n have them install it for you. Will save you headaches in the future if it rains and it leaks.

^LOL same prob with the window. I put mine on myself because I did mine on my accord which were almost the same. Anyway - the only window I had a prob w/ was the drivers window, all others were fine. I took it off and put it back on again. I had the same prob with the auto roll up for 2 days then it stopped, all is fine now. You have the instructions right?

Use a flat head screwdriver and jam it back in. Worked for me.

followed instructions best as i could lol... well sometimes the window will go all the way up but not always... and it seems to be slower and not as smooth as before.. one side would go up before another and the entire door visor would move

looks, but primarily for the ability to crack the windows without letting in rain/snow
