New Vent Visors

Well its been pretty dead around here so I guess I will tell you all I put my new vent visors on. I found in channel vent visors from autozone.com. I got the whole set for 49.99 plus shipping and tax. Overall they were really easy to put in. My co worker and I put them on and one of us ended up cracking the corner of one but its not noticalbe so Im not worried about it right now. Ill take a few pictures and post them up later on.

hmm.. I was thinking about putting on the mitsubishi vent visors but I was unsure if id like the way it would look..

I felt the same way about the hood protector.. I thought it would look ugly, but after driving my last car on the highway for 5 years my asthetic desires were overruled by my desire to have a projectile damaged free hood. I ended up liking the way it looked anyways.
 
are these things stuck on with tape? or do they clamp on somehow?

Those mitsubishi made ones are held on with tape. 3m double sided sticky tape. Go on autozone.com and look up their visors. They go in the channel and tape inside the door.

Hello,

the original mitsubishi made are not only taped. They are clamped on also two times each. I´ve got them today and can take a photo tomorrow, if you want...

Same with me, I bought a set just recently, it's got a tape and brackets which needs to be fitted under the weather seals along the door windows. I also bought previously one from ebay which is just a stick on but I didn't like the look have to take it off after 2 days. The OEM's are really snug fit and the brackets will make it difficult for someone to remove it especially when the windows are shut. It's also quite functional since I can drive with the windows open even at 80km/h, and wind noise is not an issue. 

I got the OEM from mitsubishi and install them in september and there great I like the fact that they use tape and clips once install there really tight no problem so far with them and I don't expect having problem to.

Antlip,
can you post the pics please?

Here is the front driver side. I am uploading the rear driver side right now.

 
Here is the rear driver side. The look real clean being in channel compared to sticking it to the outside of the door.

Hello,

ok I think, we´re talking about different ones....

Mine are made by lund and dont have the bolts and brackets. They fit really snug in the channel and then tape in. THey dont move at all.

Pardon my ignorance but I've never had one of these installed on any my cars before... so, does this really help? I dont understand what these visors really do?
 
Can somebody please explain?
 
TIA
 
 

The visors let you open a little bit of window when it is snowing or raining. It is really useful because you want a little air into the car, and dont want any rain/snow or even a lot of wind noises to come in. Works well on windows and sunroof window as well

If its raining you can put your window down maybe 2 inches or an inch and no water will come in. It cuts down on wind noise too.

thanks guys!  now I'm sold... which one is better, OEM or aftermarket?

I went after market because they sit in channel. They dont have tape that sticks to the outside of your door. You fit them inside the fram of the door and between the rubber seal and pull the plastic off the tape and it sticks right inside that channel. I dont know the affects of vent visors that just tape to the outside of the door when taken off so I wasnt chancing it.

I like the oem ones cause they say outlander on them  mine do anyways, plus they put mine on for nothing
