Default AVS Visors Fix

When I put on my AVS seamless visors, my front passenger one always clips the visor causing the window to go down.

is there a fix for this that doesnt require me to tear the whole thing off and reapply it?

and if there's already a thread on this could you please find it? cuz I cant...

same problem here too! window hit the visor. sometimes i push out the visor for a few seconds and roll up the window, may just have to buy the real deal though, but rather buy the chrome door handle trims first. avs visors suck..... one of the clear covers on the chrome trims of the visor peeled off, had to put on a new chrome strip from autozone. the price for the jdm visors is just way to much at the moment, so is the door handle trims, but knowing me my OCD will kick in and ill have no choice but to buy them!

the ultimate ultimate solution is a damn group buy on these "JDM Visors" overpriced plastic. $200 shipped is an acceptable price..>$300 can get you black roof with roof spoiler....Powdercoated calipers *all 4*....or parts of a lip kit....thats just my opinion hate it or like it

Stuff a soft towl or something in between the visor and the window and let it hit overnight or outside during a hot day. It'll help 're-mold" it slightly to not touch the window.
