I have gone through too many summers now without air, and having to roll my windows up when it rains is for the birds. So I see a lot of people with the window visors on the civic, and some look like they don't stick out too far, therefore aren't as obvious. I was just curious is the Honda Access window visors worth it to spend $130 over some others such as the Ventshade company who is around $50 I think? Just looking for a comparison here.

Pics would also be great along with replies.

Thx for any info

 

bump i'd like to know too

 

i had the ventshades on my old EK sedan about 4 years ago and was really happy with them. i also had the OEM visors on my EG this past year. both did there job relatively well. the only upside to the OEM visors is that they clip on instead of using ahdesive, like the Ventshades...which i had to re-apply several times while owning them.

thanks for the info peoples.

 

what about the weather -tech visors?

 

I got my ventshades for $40 at Farm and Fleet. I haven't installed them yet, but they seem nice

 

if you get the "windstream style" ventshades then they also look EXACTLY like honda access

Do you have any pics on your ef? or a place where they could be purchased?
Decent info in this thread!!

 

Honda Access get my vote. I prefer using mounting clips over the adhesive of the Ventshade brand.

 

Ventshade

Quality is decent.

dont be cheap spend the extra 70 bucks or so for the OEM ones (if you can find them). You will be happy and the money will not be missed. Adhesives vs Clips...come on.

 

say i get the adhesives if i wanted to take them off in the future would it be easy or will i be left with a bunch of sticky crap?

Probably be a bit of a pain...3M double sided tape isn't easy to get rid of. I'd go with the Honda Access visors.

dont buy from that company AT ALL

i went to buy EF visors from them for my 91 Si..they SAID they would fit, (they had 88-89 civic hatchback listed)...they sent out the visors and they didnt fit, the 88-89 doors are longer then the 90-91 so i guess thats my bad for not really knowing...

recently i bought my girlfriend some door visors for xmas for her new 06 xB...this time they had listed 03-06xB, so i figure ok no way to expletive up this time...so i get the visors, give them to her on xmas and they sent out the TOTALLY wrong parts (they sent F150 visors)...i call and they replace the parts via fedex like 3 days later...i go to put the visors on, back ones fit fine...front ones dont fit, and i had to cut the visors to make them fit

Last time i EVER buy from them

I have them and they work great. They don't clip nor tape on. They simply just slide into the window track. I have had no problems with them.

weather-tech.com

 

tried ventshade and are a little cheap looking, but i know have weathertech and they are a lot better looking and seem to work just a little bit better imo.

 

Not the best pic but but the access are worth the money!

You dont end up with sticky 3m to scrap off if you ever take them off

 

i got nothing against the oem eg ones i actually had em
but im rockin the weather-tech instead of the taped ventishade
