Does any one know where I can order or buy a good set of window guards? I hate Acura does not have the factory ones and the ones I've seen have been trash.

I've only seen 2 options. Weathertechs and Well Visors. I personally went with Well Visors because they flow better with the car. More sporty look. They also have a dummy chrome trim.

You can order from wellvisors.com for $85 + free shipping. You can check out my build thread for photos.

Weathertechs are $200-300.

I also went with Wellvisors. They just looked better than the weather techs. The savings was about 30$ for me

I just went to the WELLvisors web site and found some visors for our 2013 RDX, but nothing for our 2014 TL. I tried 2012 and 2013 TL as well, but it said there were no products available. How did you get these visors for your TL? Have they discontinued them?

I ordered from their site. That's weird they say it's not available. I would contact them.

stevesin

that's weird, i literally got my order a couple of days ago. I had ordered May 6th. Shipping was crazy fast too.

I bought WeatherTechs for my 2010 TL SH AWD almost exactly 2 years ago for $115 total. I have been happy with them. Photo attached.

jtech316

It's back in stock now.

Just want to say thank you for the info. I was looking for these and saw them on ebay. Then I was like WOAH $800 FOR SOME WINDOW VISORS LOL??? Glad they are back in stock now, going to order them for sure.

I just installed the WeatherTechs. Easy to install and they just slip into the window channel. I like the low profile look and no added chrome.

bambino167

where are they back in stock at?

carbonTSEX

You can probably find then on eBay or on their site at wellvisors.net

bambino167

wellvisor.net is still saying out of stock and the only ones on ebay are going for $800 plus which is a no dice for me lol

dopeboy1

When I posted that on may 2nd the well visors website said they were in stock. But I was at work and decided to order them when I got home. Then something came up that night and I forgot. Now its may 4th and the website says they are out of stock... ah lol that sucks.

littlelee17

No luck! Seems to be pretty popular. The WeatherTech's were in stock and took a week to ship. But if you are more looks than functionality then there is only one way to go!

sockpuppet

So are you saying that the WeatherTech are functionally superior, or that they're about the same, but that the WellVisor is (subjectively) better looking?

littlelee17

WellVisors seem to be the consensus for the better looking guard. The WeatherTech install very simply with no adhesive needed - they are precisely molded to fit in the window channel. WellVisor looks like adhesive is needed and I would think that would have issues. I mean it is all up to what look everyone is going for. I would assume both would function equally.

jtech316

Damn, they went fast. I just got mine in today and got it installed. I have the ebay app and just hit "watch item" on the $800 one. When it was back in stock, my app alerted me the price dropped to $82. So I ordered it once it popped up. The next day, a Wellvisor rep emailed me saying they have stock again. So give that a try if you are wanting one.

I don't get it?
What is the purpose of these things?
Or are they purely cosmetic.
Seems like a weird looking add-on.

jtech316

When someone rips one in the car and you need to air out the car but it's raining outside. Weird to some. Not so weird to others.
Car window visor purpose.

littlelee17

Exactly!!! Or when its raining and you want to open the window a tad.

sockpuppet

Anyone have any experience taking the WellVisors out? Since they use adhesive, I'm concerned that if I installed these, and later changed my mind, it might be a mess.

jtech316

Shouldn't be too bad. The strip is only about half an inch wide. Just use some heat before you try to peel it off and take your time. I actually had to take my rear driver side one off today because a corner didn't stick down properly.

potmilkz

the purpose is to ventilate air without all the noise. sometimes i dont want to turn on the ac when its a nice 65-68 degrees outside so i just crack the windows open an inch on all windows to ventilate air and still listen to my music at a reasonable volume.


its 50% asthetics and 50% function

stevesin

i took mine off a couple weeks ago, mine were on for about 1.5yrs, and when they came off, you just gotta use a microfiber cloth and some elbow grease to any adhesive that stayed on the trim.

potmilkz

all you gotta do is buy googone and spray it on, let it sit and just rub it off with a microfiber..

people bitch about "oh i dont want to use double sided tape as i dont want to deal with it later when i remove it"

well there is such a product for that purpose..

dopeboy1

If anyone else is following the wellvisors are back in stock and this time I remembered to order them haha

Sadly, as August is right around the corner, at this point, it seems like a waste of time to me. Interesting business model they have; they're like a pop-up store, only with a permanent web presence.
