The clips that gave me the hard time where the ones that you need to put those little circle rings on.
I got all but 3 clips on. 1 pass side, 2 driver. even then, they are still held on quite well. And don't really move at all. The only time they will move is if you do it.

The real bitch for me at least is the seals. Little ****ers will kill your fingers!
Even then, I would buy them all over again!

Nobody is going the steal the OEM ones without breaking them. Same thing goes for the Weathertechs. Any attempt at theft means they are going to break. Dollars to doughnuts though the Weathertechs will be given a pass by any potential thief... they're only 60 bucks!

if someone is going to steal my visors, I would rather them break. I would much rather throw them in the trash, the have some POS profit off my hard work.

Yessir. I looked over the install guides on here, and then looked at the car, and quickly realized that the guide floating around goes extremely in depth and it can definitely be condensed along with better pictures. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to help.

Oh. I think I saw that, maybe it just didn't click with me.

How do you get the 2 clips on the ends of the visors with the circle things on?

I try and try, but I can't figure it out.

I have had aftermarket visors that fit in the channels and not tape to the outside of door(Those are CHEAP) for most of my vehicles and only one complant. On my 02 accord the window would get stuck on really hot days due to the lack of clearance in the channel.
