Hey, i got my side sun visors off egay today, they come with a 3m double sided tape backing.
I am not too sure how strong the tape is(its like 1cm wide), my eye lids came with 3m tape but they came off once after a few washes
also i live in Canada :canada:

, so ice and snow in the winter gets rough, bascially i wanna know how else can i mount them thats more durable than double sided tape, or do you guys think the tape is enough

sun visors? like window vents? we usually recommend the in-channel ones because they stay attached.

clean the area with acetone/mineral spirits/alcohol before you apply them, thats about all you can do.

they should be fine. i got some off ebay and the tape is 5x stronger than the eyelid tape.
this is the brand i got but mine were obviously for our accords..lol

yeah eh? so you guys think they would be able to withstand the weather?
lets hope so, i cant figure out a way i could be able to fasten them down

drill holes and buy screws and washers and put them thru the vent visor and into the frame of the door.

mine are all on the car after a year...down near the mirrors especially you'll end up with a gap where the tape doesn't attach 100%.

only thing you can do is find a wider strip of tape or a stronger variety...

gorrira grue? :lawl:

Return them and get in-channels?

You should be fine. Florida has some pretty rough weather and mine stay on with no problem. What you could also do is get some 3m tape of ur own to fill in any extra gaps and extend all the way to the edges. Thats what I did for my eyelids also and no problems at all.

a little wind and rain? let me guess: your roads suck too? ever been in the midwest?

we had some hail the other day...kind of surprising i didnt lose a visor. the only thing i wont do is take my car through an automatic wash with the brushes or blowers...ive seen the blowers take visors off...
