Default Noise From Window Visors

Hey Everyone,

Question regarding window visors. I have the same visors as the car pictured below (this is NOT my car but I stole the pic from uberEJ as I know we have the exact same visors, thx EJ). On both my rear windows the visors seem to be bent in the middle and touching the glass. This causes them to rattle off the glass as I'm driving creating a VERY annoying noise.

Has anyone else experienced this and/or know of a way to fix this problem??

Thanks in advance for the help!

I have the JDM visors also and haven't really noticed a window vibration. Mainly when the stereo is on I can hear the driver side window vibrate when the bass hits. I was thinking about putting some dyno mat in the inside of the doors. Do you think that might help a bit ?

That noise is normal. They're flimsy, and a bit irritating, as like you said, it warps in the middle a bit (this is due to the hot weather). As ReyRey said, the JDM visors are actually stiffer, although they cost more, and they aren't prone to rattling like the AVS.

And ReyRey, nothing will stop the rattles except rolling down your windows . The windows themselves need to be sound dampened to prevent sound from traveling through the glass and onto the visors.
