Try using some Meguiars Plastx. I bought some used jdm window visors and they had some patches of thin hardened glue all over. I went over all the spots with some Plastx and got them all out. Worth a shot.

Thanks, Well I honestly think they're genuine JDM Toyota parts because, The visors have "Toyota" carved into the edge of the visor, Toyota and Lexus dealerships do not even carry these items for sale here in the U.S for the U.S market SC (Nor will they even know what you're talking about when you ask 'em about it) and the installation instructions were all written in Japanese...(If you'd like I can provide pics of instruction manual).

Thanks I'll try that...on a side note, I also tried using....
1) Bug/tar remover (Didn't work)
2) Metal Polish (Didn't work)
3) 4 yr old vinegar (Didn't really work)

and I'm way too scared to try "C.L.R" (Since it might eat the plastic up).

Because I'm a noob and I find these threads rather interesting.

Exactly, People around these forums tend get all butt-hurt whenever someone starts a thread that has been posted before and not doing a general search first.

im noticing a trend in your search. Why don't you just post up a thread about your car and list your mods and such. Would be much easier than bumping old threads.

Looks likea nice little mod with lots of function to it. Could definitely come in handy for those hot summer days especially for cars with black interior.

Does yours mount with 3M tape only or comes with mounting clips?
Luckily, They came with the original mounting clips...so no 3M tape for me.

You must be talking about that little adjustable air flap in the middle? Oh yeah, most definitely!

I was at the SoCal meet last weekend and somebody (was it CrazySC300?) showed me his visor. Never thought of it before but might want one for myself now! I need to go for a ride next time so I can see it in action, haha.

Yeah it was me, I was the only SC at the meet that had that rare JDM part on my car. And "Yes" I'll be more than happy to take you for a ride just so you can hear how well it cuts back on wind noise and how super funtional that little flap on top of it really is...Either hit me up with a PM or meet me at another meet on March 6th at the Crystal Factory in Buena Park.

Wow! With that being said, I feel so lucky to have won that piece on ebay for only $100.
