Default To those with JDM window visors...

How do they attach to the car? Tape, clip, screw?

Do they damage the car at all? I want something 100% removable without any ill effects.

Let me know- thanks for the help!

they are held on with double sided 3M tapa and also have clip. if you remode them there is no damage or holes but it is a little bit of a pain in the *** to remove the glue residue

Get the weathertech ones, those fit into the weather strip with no tape, clips, or screws.

I have the JDM ones, and the install was super easy. As for removing them, all you would need to do is heat the 3M tape with a hair dryer, and go slowly.

It would definately be a pain, but why would you want to remove them ? They add a nice affect to the exterior.

Held together with tape, but just gotta have patience when you take them off and get rid of the residue. Despite being easy to install and are relatively cheap, I'm still debating if I want some...

They get pulled off by dumbasses trying to break in. In my case, anyway.

They don't damage anything on the vehicle, but the adhesive is a PITA.

To remove the adhesive there's a liquid call Rapid Remover. Works like a champ and doesn't damage car paint at all.
