Here they are fully installed!
It’s really easy to install and they give you all the tools you need!
They provide good instructions, but luckily the process is extremely easy!
- Installation Quick Guide
- QR Code for Installation Videos
- Two Alcohol Pads
- One Installation Cleaning Tool
Each Visor is marked accordingly
Each of the visors have a little directional sticker. R for Passenger side and L for Drivers side.
While the front two would be hard to switch around, the rear two visors are almost identical and the stickers really help.
They seem to be very flexible!
They will NOT fit the CROSS SPORT!
The Installation
Installation was really easy and straightforward. I did end up having to remove and re-align the passenger side front, so if the window is rubbing, you are probably just not aligned properly.
This was my first time installing in-channel window visors and it took me all of 30 minutes to have all 4 installed. It would have been faster without having to move the camera around.
Final Thoughts
The Bad
- Slightly increased cabin noise with the window’s closed
- This is where I understand why people choose the over the window visor option
- They decrease side mirror visibility
- They extend about an inch into the side mirror from my perspective, you get used to it, but something to keep in mind.
The Good
- Virtually eliminated any wind buffeting with the windows down
- My VW Atlas does not have a sunroof, so for whatever reason when the windows are down, there is a buffeting noise that is extremely unpleasant.
- I can now leave the windows cracked to let air escape while parked or when driving
- While parked, I can allow food smells to vent, or just keep the cabin cool even in the rain!
- While driving, this allows you to crack your window in the rain without letting water into the cabin. It also helps reduce wind noise if you just want it a little cracked vs. fully opening the window.
- I can feel where the air is now being directed
- With the windows down, when you place your hand out the window, you can feel where the “new” point at which the wind hits and it’s further out giving you more room to be comfy before your hand hits the strong wind.
