Yeah, someone here on CL had theirs ripped off. I guess it just really depends on the douche bag that decides to do it lol. I mean anything can be stolen if someone really wants too. Maybe they weren't JDM, i forget lol

The JDM visors have a pair of small metal "hooks" that help secure the visors to the window. Not that they would prevent the visors from getting stolen, but they're not meant to come off easy.

Also, if someone just yanked the visors off, they would ruin them by bending the metal along the top.

If they're installed correctly, these are next to impossible to steal without rolling the windows down. Proper installation means making sure the double sided tape on the inside is making full contact with the chrome door trim. I've seen SOOOO many instances where the tape wasn't correctly applied (or even making contact with the door trim). Once correctly installed, prying on them from the outside will cause them to be horribly bent beyond use.
