DIY: 92-95 H.O.P. Window Visor installation
I know it's been done and done again, but people always ask... so I did it for ***** and giggles.
________________________________________________
Quick statement.... These are for 5th gens. I have only seen and installed 2 sets of windows visors; 5th gen Civic and 6th gen Civic. 5th gens come with 5 clips ALREADY ATTACHED TO THE VISORS. 6th gens come with 4 clips (2 on each side) that screw into frame, 6 (3 per visor) that are free floating and you have to line up with holes. The visor then ATTACHES to 5 clips via pushpins
These are the visors on my <u>5th GENERATION HONDA CIVIC</u>
<FONT SIZE="24">
Start off with the visors. Mine came in the boxes as you see. One complete piece. All 5 clips attached.
Each little clip looks like this.
You have to pull your weather stripping out to put them in place. No glue, no screws, just the weather stripping put in over them to help apply. There's like 3 different physical weather "strips" on the door, you need the outermost one, as in the pic.
I used a big flat head to help dig out the weather stripping without ******* anything up, and later on to help push the weather stripping back in.
To kind of show how it works, this is a shitty diagram I made of how it is re-applied to hold everything in place.
Picture it in your mind. The weather stripping is re-applied into the crease with the little "brackets" on visor holding it in place.
But yeah. Weather stripping needs to come out.
Like the diagram shows, slip the little brackets into that crease, push them in and they should kinda snap in. Push as far up and back towards the back of the car to allow as much space to put the weather stripping back in as possible.
Then, it's basically up to you to get the weather stripping back in place.
Now that you have those brackets and **** in the way, it will fit a little more shitty, and you need to basically need to just push the weather stripping into place.
But yeah. Congrats, now you have window visors and your weather stripping fits like ****.

Re: DIY: 92-95 H.O.P. Window Visor installation (Daishi)
actually the diagram was great.. lol
i would say, relax take a breathe and go back to fix the wheather stripping. i doubt honda would market visors that end up looking like that... my many visits to japan, ive seen more than enough eg's looking clean with oem visors so i knows theres a way to get it nice and clean.

I'll be getting ones with clips after I finis my motor. DON'T BUY TAPE ONES. Crap, pure crap. I was going 70 on the highway and passenger side snapped in half Think I learned my lesson on cheaping out.

Damn your car is hot man, wish my red eg could even come close.....but a dent in the side and faded black hood doesn't really come close. Also they clear side markers don't look bad either.

Installation took me 20 minutes for both sides. You don't need to pull the weather stripping past your mirrors, or else it's going to look like ****. Stop pulling back the stripping a few inches before the mirror. Also, you don't need to pull the stripping that far on the door pillar. Just enough to put that end clip in.

Indeed. I pulled too much on that first one, the drivers side. When I did passenger I didnt pull as much out and it came out WAY better.
I'm a noob, hahahahaha.
