oem door visor installation help

can someone who has installed the oem vent visors on the 3rd gen TL help me out? i am having a problem installing the rear ones. i can't seem to figure out how they expect you to get the rear-most clip to go in the channel above the fixed glass. the two front clips go in under the rubber just fine, but how can the rear clip go in if the glass is fixed and cant go down to get the clip in?

you have to take the rubber out, if you install the front ,the back should be the same or you install the front wrong too.

yeah, take the rubber weather striping off of the edging of the door. the clip will go onto the metal and then u put the rubber over it again

yea its definitely a pain in the ass to install.. but the rears and very very similar to the front, pull the rubber weather channel down to get the clips in place right...

visor install

i did the fronts just fine.
the backs just dont make sense. the front two clips go in like the fronts, i get that. but the rear most clip has to go into rubber that doesnt come out above the small fixed piece of glass. it almost seems like the back clip is on the wrong spot on the visor? you guys who have installed these, was there a clip above that back glass?

dont take off the rubber just stick the clips in between rub and met only lifting if needed and do the tape like instructed. the last clip towards the back will be visible unlike the others DONT TRY TO BEND.

figured it out

DUHH.
it goes in the rubber channel that runs along the entire top of the door, NOT the rubber right over the glass.
went in fine.
guess i was having one of those moments.
