Hello, I'm looking to buy some window visors for my em1 and I'm curious about what the differences are for the knockoffs anf for the honda oem ones. I know the honda ones clip on and the others are taped on but are there any differences in how they appear? Or anything?
Also, if anyone has an pictures that would be great too

Thanks!

window visor almost all the same...honda ones intend to pop out or flare out more..and some other brands are just a like a cover tape on your doors.
i went with the autozone brand..cost me $35 buck and it looks good...use your money wisely..it does matter..

Thanks for you help, gansin. I was curious if you had any pictures? I just heard that there was placement differences, so I'm trying to see how it works out

I've gone only with OEM visors for my cars. Reason is because of the clip on install. After a while (years down the line), the double stick tape will come off. Plus, the OEM visors seem to be of better quality plastic IMO. OEM seems thicker and 'glossier' than aftermarket. Seen too many cracked or broken aftermarket visors.

Ah, I see. Well I've heard things both ways. I just didn't know if there was an issue with placement? I think the stick ons stick a little higher than the OEM clips

I have the double-stick tape aftermarket ones(avs i believe). They also slip into a channel above the window; i feel like it looks cleaner, attaches more securely, and the tape isnt stuck the outside of my door.. cost me like $70

I really like the weathertech brand visors because they don't use any tape or screws to install. They fit into the window channel of your doors. I haven't had any problems with them for the past year and I think they look great.

I just bought inchannel visors, I'll install them soon and let everyone know how it goes. Thank you!

Oh good, because those are inchannel and I bought inchannel. Thanks for the help althought I'm looking for an ek.

But good looking on the eg, thanks man!

john666

same difference..

inaety

definitely. oh do they block water well?

I have weathertech too and they are really nice. I do get a couple drops leak through on my driver side but thats probably because of my old weather stripping. The best part is they lack screws/tape/clips.

inaety

How do they look alphalanos? Have any pics? I want to see them on an ek, ej, em1, etc

Aftermarket ones are often HUGE compared to the slim Honda ones. Aftermarket can come as stick on or channel mounted. The Honda ones have tiny screws that hold on tiny clips which sit in the rubber seal along the top of the window on the door.

The stick on ones also have a tendency to fly off of cars (so I've had customers tell me).

That reminds me. I saw a car driving down the road the other day (towards me). It had something on it's roof, but I couldn't figure it out until it was close. It's moonroof visor had broken cleanly in two and only the passenger side remained on the car.

Besides that the Honda ones are sort of a pain to install, the hardware makes little difference. The biggest issue is probably that you can lose the tiny screws very easily.
