On the side towards the front measure 2 inches(50mm) from the top joint where there is a crease. You can't miss it.
Install the LONG seal so that it gets covered when you put the run channel back in. This picture is the SHORT seal. DOH!! It's no biggie though since I tore one of the long ones in half to make this one long!
On the rear side of the door you will see slits and after the bottom most slit install the SHORT seal.
I'm not sure I like the gap between the front and back visors, but I like the flared design.

The gap between the front and back windows is not that noticeable, especially if you have tint. All the window trim is black anyway and with tint the windows are much darker so the gap does not stand out.
I think they look good, but more importantly really provide some benefits to me:
In summer I like to leave my windows cracked just a little so the car isn't boiling when I leave work. But we frequently get sudden thunderstorms in the afternoon so I have to remember to run out and roll them up to prevent wet seats! Now I won't have to worry.
On my drive, there are times that the sun gets in my eyes from the upper part of the driver's side window. These would help shield me from that.
It's just more shading to help keep the car cooler in summer!
It darkens the interior a little bit more, which in turn provides more security from prying eyes.
In light rain I can drive with the windows cracked a little to prevent fogging, without getting wet.
Overall, these will be very useful!

But seriously, the adhesive Honda used is not as good as the 3M doublesided red tape. The adhesive is on a foam type tape and when you go over railroad tracks I think I heard them rattle. Normal driving I don't hear anything.

I wonder how these seals work? What are their uses?
Good write up. We need more DIY's like this with pictures and detailed explanation. I don't know that I will be doing this one; it's never something I thought I needed.

I'm debating which to get, the mud guards or the hood deflector next week. Which ever I choose will be the next install. I'm leaning more towards the deflector though cause they are sexy!

Looking forward to the write up. I could try to install something, but it is -40ºF outside today and I don't have a garage.
Just installed the Honda visor. It looks good. A note to any one interested. The instructions tell you to ply open the rear window corner trim a bit so you pull the rubber window thingy out. You don't really need to do that. I did it with the left side very carefully. But the trim piece won't latch back on the window very tightly . I had to add some chalking under the panel to make it stay tight. I ignore this step with the right rear and finished the window much faster and did not do any damage.
Just finished installing my visors. Thanks for the DIY Mikejet. Your DIY gave me the heads up to grab the instructions from the dealer. The dealer's instructions and this DIY made it my simplest DIY so far. The only issue I had was the packaging missing a set of sealers. Luckily, I have a whole roll of sealer from previous projects. Here are some pics.
Looks good!
