no instructions? where did you order your wind visors from? i just ordered a pair from l-tuned. hope mine come with some instructions.

guys.. just put a set of these on my car a couple weeks ago.. installation is as simple as you would imagine it would be for four pieces of plastic that you stick and clip onto your 4 doors.. for those of you with instructions, even though they are not in english, they do include pictures of what is really a very self explanatory process... the tip i have to offer is this: the part where the instructions show you to fit these onto the windows with the clips, having only peeled back about half inch of the tape backing from each side of the visor.... LISTEN TO THAT.. do NOT remove all the backing from the double sided tape then try throwing these things on, they will stick almost immediately with barely any pressure applied and you CAN wreck them trying to pull them back off and reposition them.. the easiest way to install these is to get the 2 clips on each visor in place clipped in under the rubber piece on the door molding.. they only line up and fit properly one way and you will be able to see this right away. after they are all set on, carefully lift each visor a little and slowly remove the backing from the double sided tape (starting at where you already peeled the edge back on each end) making sure the visor doesnt shift as you peel that stuff off and follow pressing on the top of the visor where you just removed the backing as you go along...

just call carson toyota and ask for Luis in parts: 1-800-908-6968. tell him you're from clublexus so he can hook you up with any current discounted member pricing that may be available.

Okay, so Im getting these.....

One question:

I need to place the fronts on first and then the rears?

what about the pillar piece and rear pillar piece?

or just leave those off the car.

and where do they exactly fit on the car?

I see them on the cars, but I can still see the chrome strip around the windows....not really sure where they get attached to??

I hear everyone talking about CLIPS?? what are those? do they fit inside the car? sorry bringing up an old post> I used the search button!!!lol

Test fit it first, use the hooks to keep it on the window adn when u are sure everything is fine - leave it hooked and pull the tape from between the visor and door. This is how I did mine with no problem. Also if you want to take it out, heat it and it should come off much easier.
