how do you install these things? anybody know lol

i tried with the rear ones but i cant get the clip or whatever it is to sit right in side toward the front

the clips are also a lil bent so it's hard to tell how they are supposed to go

any help would be appreciated :)

the small black clips go in between the crome trim and the rubber. the long tabs go in behind the black pastic pieces on the side and rubber.

I Have OEM Honda ones for sale if anyone is interested! for a 4 door

how do you get the the long tabs to go all the way behind? i cant get them to sit right and im afraid of breaking the things connecting the tabs with al the bending and forcing ive been having to do :eek:

you have to pull the weather striping out and then install the vent shade and then stick the weather striping back in.

Did they make OEM vent shades for coupes?

i'm pretty sure coupes and sedans have the same front window shape so you'd just use the fronts of a sedan set.


i just installed them so i'm sure it'll take a while to get used to them but the AEM ones are definitely more noticable... the OEM ones have a slimmer profile and don't cover up the silver trim so they're less obvious. not sure if thats a good or a bad thing yet haha. will take pics in a bit once i get my other goodies installed hehe

hmm i'm pretty sure i've seen coupes with vent shades installed.. unless they make a coupe only version then it's the same window

i'm sure a seach on here would reveal the correct answer instead of us two guessing haha

According to one hour of searching:

They did not make vent visors for the Coupes.

The only Model that you can buy vent visors for is the Sedan.

and the coupe door is a fair amount larger, so large that the seat belt retractor has to be mounted on it!
