Reconditioning & Re-Installation How To: OEM Door Visors

Hello, decided to recondition my sun faded purple door visors. These steps will show you how I did mine. Be carefull when removing them from your vehicle as some sets are more brittle then others, important to add heat to the visor tape when removing them to weaken the sticky tape. This will allow them to come off easier... Keep em comin! :lol:

Step 1: Assess What You Will Need...
Can Of Lift Off
Heat Gun
Spoon
Exterior Mounting Tape
"Smoke" Lens Spray (this small can required 3 for me)

    you sir are a bad ass...
    i just bought a set of these and plan on doing hte exact same thing...
    thanks for the install instructions too; you are my hero right now...
  • I still need to put my on.

    The more I looked at these though the more I thought that Honda placed the clips on the car first then pressed the visors on. The problem with mine is that the glue for the clips is so old. So I think mine will have to be glued on.

    Good writeup 8)

    Is ebay the best place for these? Or can I still get them from Honda?
  • There completely gone from Honda :cry: Yea, keep an eye out on ebay and wait for a set to pop up... I just had a set for sale in parts but they sold already... :roll:

    are these visors only for wagons/wagovans? or are they off of a 88-91 civic sedan?
  • Wagon visors are wagon specific.

    i know this thread is old but where can you buy the lens spray?
  • I got my 3 cans off of ebay, the smoke ones. On ebay type in: JDM Lense Painter and you will see the cans I have above are the ones on ebay, they are a little pricy but the quality is fantastic, hense they are made in Japan :wink: FYI I used all 3 cans and prob could have used a forth if I pushed it...there isn't much paint in them they are pretty small...
  • C-ratZC-ratZ New Wagonist
    just about $50! ouch!
  • I know, there are cheaper alternatives...my friend just used almost like a black krylon spray paint on the bottom side of his and hasn't had any problems yet, thats what like $3-$4 bucks at most...I went with the smoke style since I thought it would be close to the oem look but when its all said and done they almost look black anyways...
  • C-ratZC-ratZ New Wagonist
    i picked up a can of krylon paint for plastic. i couldnt choose between flat or gloss but i decided gloss cause i didnt want these to look like trim...ill post pics of the finished product when im done
