Default Stick on window visors? good/bad? install help?

Just purchased a set of window visors for my ej8 and they are the stick on type.
There are no clips just a 3m adhesive strip.
Im guessing its a pretty straight forward install but thats not all I needed to know.
Has anyone had experience with these and will they hold?

b/c it would keep the rain out and look badass.

you know that little triangle tab that helps align the window as it rolls up.
do you modify it in any way or just allow the visor to bridge over it a little?
and thanks for your help.

you actually have to remove it in order to stick the visor's on. but i'v had no issues with window alignment and i'v taken my window out a few times.

On topic! They do hold very well! But if you need to take them off you have to get more double tape. I just recently bought the Honda Original Parts Visor & they really look amazing. Just an opinion, not trying to be a Puck B!tC# about it. Double stick do hold though! I had a pair.

My friend had a similar pair on his Lexus GS and it seems to hold on fine, but he did say if he did it again he'd try and get OEM. If you could, use this for now, save up a little bit and get OEM later. I have an OEM Honda Access pair and they are worth their money.

OEM window visors ftw, but a pain to install them. I like them much better then the stick on ones.

I have 'em and they work just fine, although I am upgrading to OEM's soon. I've had no problems and they're extremely easy to install. check this out......
