Because without them you can't crack the windows open when its raining. I like to have the windows cracked all the time, just because.

Ok now that the subject has kinda changed~ What use are they for: when you park in the hot sun you can crack the windows a bit *let out the heat* and should it rain it wont get in the car, also you cant see if the window is cracked or not so it keeps the thieves away. I myself am a smoker but i don't smoke in lexi, if i wanna smoke i pull over

There is definitely a demand for the product otherwise there wouldn't be so many companies making them.

Yeah it would be nice to have pics of the three different visors. I don't mind spending the money as long as they are "the best." Over the years, most people learn that in the car game. If your ****, you can't stand spending money on something that's not of quality.

For those complaining about the weather tech or AVS that currently have the JDM " AUTHENTIC ", have you even tried the other brands first or seen them on someone else's car or actually test fitted the other brands before a conclusion was made to say MUST have JDM? I mean they all do the same job right? it's not like each brand is gonna give you 2-3 extra HP (LOL). besides aesthetics or is that more a Ethical dilemma between must have AUTHENTIC / OEM or never get knock off kinda thing

just wondering.

Hi all. I've just installed WeatherTech visors on my RX-350. Got it from e-bay for $114.95. This is very good quality made in Germany product. It fits perfectly and very easy to install. It's called in-channel fitment and front visors don't use M3 tape. It looks pretty well and now I can leave my windows a bit open and not to worry about sudden rain. BUT! Attention! There was one slight issue. Since the edges of the visors and edges of the glass of windows share the same space in the channel it may trigger window's automatic safety reversal feature, only when you close the windows with auto mode. I had this problem with my driver's side window when I just installed the visors. The back windows worked perfectly. So in the first day right after the installation in order to close the window with auto mode I had to keep the finger on the switch all the way up until window was completely closed. WetherTech does recognize this problem and advises to leave all windows closed for at least 1 day. This is what I exactly did. The hot weather would also help. And now I can close my front window using auto mode and it doesn't kick back like it was on the first day of the installation. I do recommend this product. Good luck!

Yeah, and no one really notices it. But you know what, for people who do know the difference, it's awesome. And if I park next to a fully modded car with AVS, I look like a boss. Lowered on stockies and a medium tint.
