Question JDM Visors - Installation??

just the the JDM visors from Nigel, very fast shipping. My question is how easy are these to install? only came with japanese instructions and the pictures look pretty straight forward but I do like to see some wording with the pictures as for me it tends to clear things up a bit. Anyone have a DIY on it or some advice on what NOT to do? thanks in advance .

pretty straight forward install. make sure you have them aligned and the little clips set before you peel the tape/backing.

That's the most important part.

Clean.

Open the window, pull the weather stripping down. Push the clips in and align. Peel off the tape. Put the weather stripping back in. Done.

it could be that you push the weather stripping back on then peel off the tape. As long as it's snug I guess.

Isn't it a pita to snug the weather strip back on? They are super snugged tight.

Air compressor works best to blow the water out.
