okay i just got window visors for my car and i installed them yesterday on my car and right away when i drove off, the visors flew off. i used the 3M double sided mounting tape on them and they still flew off. i made sure i cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol, and it still came out. so does anyone here have a DIY on how to install window visors. pictures would be helpful.

what you did was pretty sufficient, just press hard on the visor.
but since they flew off you've contaminated the tape and should use a new set of tape and/or automotive silicone.

Mine sit in the window channels and my driver's side still tries to fly off sometimes.

The best way to get the 3M Stick-On Adhesive to stay on is by using a heat gun. Heat the adhesive with the gun, heat it till it starts to blister and promptly apply. Don't wait to apply it, do it right then. Hold it for about 30-60 seconds, it should say on.
