NICE WRITE UP!!!

ALTHOUGH, you incorrectly positioned brackets B... It goes vice-verse and it uses the two screws supplied (not the push clips) which screws in from the top portion of the door... That why you had to use a WIRE CUTTER to cut the molding which is NOT right. Also, common sense would tell you that you only use the push clips for the outer (visible) part of the visors itself... PLEASE CORRECT YOUR INFO SO PEOPLE DON'T GO DOING THE WRONG ****...

I wonder if the OP ever took new pics?

I need to fix mine, and pics would really help. I couldn't get all the clips on/the little washer things.

I love the visors but these things are a PITA!

EDIT- Never mind, he hasn't been on sence 2-17

Found this after spending some time on google searching for a install guide. So hopefully it helps some peeps out..
Original post is @ http://teamsunworks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10971



I installed a set of Honda Access window visors on my coupe today, and I figured I'd make a DIY write up since alot of people are clueless when it comes to installing these things. There's a couple of other write ups floating around, but they aren't very detailed and the pictures are no longer hosted. This is my first write up, hope you it helps some of you guys out. First off, installation of these visors can take some time (more than expected) and a good amount of patience..

-----

First, you need to install the D / F / H clips onto the visors themselves.

The first and last hole on the visor are for the B clips, which I will explain later on. Start off with the second hole from the FRONT of the visor, and install D / F / H clips as so, with the open end of the clip facing downwards. They go in that specific order and simply attach to the visor by pressing in the small round "clips" supplied.




Now there is already 2 other clips installed on the visors from the factory. These clips will slide into the rubber lining behind your side-view mirror, and the rear one will slide in behind the vertical plastic piece on your door.

Here are the pre installed clips:

Front:


Rear:


Now pull back the rubber lining on the backside of the door. Move it just enough so you can access the top screw which holds in the vertical plastic trim piece.


Remove the screw and put it in aside.


Now you are able pull it out just a bit, in order to access the rubber window seal.


Carefully pull on the bottom seal, but be careful not to rip it.


I pulled out the entire BOTTOM seal, and only pulled back the top seal in the 2 places where the B clips attach to the actual door.

Top B clip hole:


Bottom B clip hole:



The B clips are attached as shown in the following pictures, and are screwed onto the door frame from the TOP.

Top B clip installed:


Bottom B clip installed:


The pre installed clips that I mentioned earlier are to be "slipped" into the side view mirror (on the front) and behind the plastic trim piece (on the rear)

Front:


Rear:



Once you slide those 2 clips in, the visor will hold itself in place.


Now you need to remove the little OEM metal clip which "guides" the window, or the visor clip will not be able to attach to the frame.


Simply pull down on the top of it, and it will come right off


Visor mocked up:


Now begin pressing the visor clips onto the door frame.


Make sure the clip is over the small lip on the frame.

Bad:


Good:


Now comes the hardest part; reinstalling the rubber seals onto the door frame. These seals are a BIG pain in the *** to install, especially with the new addition of the visor clips which are now in the way of the rubber seal from sitting flush. I found it easiest to install the TOP seal into place first. Then, insert the lower seal into its channel with BOTTOM of the lower seal in place first. One the BOTTOM of the lower seal is in place and FLUSH to the frame, you can roll the upper part of it into place. Both the upper and lower seal need to be locked in place with each other. It's almost impossible to explain, but once you are actually doing it, you will easily understand what I am talking about.

In the following pic, the BOTTOM of the lower seal is in place, and I am rolling it into the top seal.



Once again, this process is not exactly easy. I messed with rubber seals on each side for at least 30 minutes. You have to make sure to get it just right, otherwise your window will not roll up into the seal and it will not be able to close all the way. My finger tips are still sore from pressing so hard on the seals.

Once they are installed and nothing is in the way, re install the vertical trim peice that we removed earlier


Remeber the B clips that we installed earlier? Now it's time to attach them to the visor. Supplied in the box are 4 washers. These washers are used to attach the B clips to the visor. The washer goes on the BACK of the B clip, NOT in between the B clip and the visor as some other write ups have said. Once you have the washer aligned with the hole, get one of the "round" press clips and press it into the visor/B clips/washer.

Here's a pic, kinda hard to see.


Do that for all 4 B clips. Once again, make sure the washer is in the back of the B clip, not between the visor and the B clip.

You are now DONE! I like to make sure the window goes up into the seal nice and smooth. Roll up the window and make sure it's not getting snagged on any part of the seal. If it does, roll the window back down and press the seal in until it sits flush. This may take some time to get 100%, but it is very very important.

Once you do that, take some windex or quick detailer and shine them up. Now admire your "oh so cool" JDM window visors.


Installation complete:



That's all folks.

Hope this can be of help to someone.

Makes it seen A LOT easier than it really is installing these. i personally would suggest removing the weather stripping only in the areas where the clips go vs. the whole thing. That's what I did and it was still a bitch to get lined up and to get the stripping back in perfectly. Can only imagine it being 10x hard removing the entire stripping.

Should of took pix when I installed mine to add some details. I Spent about 5hrs on mine and the 2nd window was harder for me even after having already done one. The end result is worth it though

Just did this.. Very help write up! Thanks. Tip about the weather stripping, use silicone spray so it"ll be easier to slip into the grooves. Saved a lot of time with it/.
