Side Window Visors

[johnnyapollo]

Couple of comments as an owner of original JDM visors.

1. They have cut-outs for the mirrors that limit their effectiveness against wind and rain. This is due to the JDM folding-mirror which was not brought to the US (not sure if that was a cost cutting measure or if they weren't "approved" in the US yet).

2. They mount to the exterior via double-stick tape and a small metal bracket (I owned the WeatherTech previously and the installation was actually easier/cleaner).

3. The stick out quite a bit and can sometimes get in the way (I've also hit my head on the edge a few times).

Just wanted to provide some disclosure before Ron goes through all the effort to avoid any backlash. Ron - if you want some detailed measurements and photos let me know and I'll be happy to provide.

Ummm.....My mirrors fold in.

Not 'lectric-ly.

IIRC, the JDM mirrors actually fold in automatically when put in park or engine shuts down.

AAAAHHHHHHHH....now I see.

I make a robot noise when I fold them in. Does that count?

Don't think it was that sophisticated, they were controlled by a switch that goes in the blank spot beside your heated mirror switch. Pretty sure you had to do it yourself.

Thanks John for the input. Any measurements/pics you can provide would help. Also, I don't recall a metal bracket being used on my visors. Can you take a pics and dimensions of the part? Thanks in advance!
