Would like to buy and install OEM door visors like these:

HONDA FIT DOOR VISORS 2009:eBay Motors (item 120426562378 end time Sep-02-09 08:33:41 PDT)

Found the instructions online and it looks fairly easy, except the rear windows.

I can't understand the purpose of the run channel sealers in steps 12 through 23. What purpose do they serve? Plus, I don't feel comfortable pulling at these channels when they warn you they "tear easily".

Has anybody installed a set of these themselves?

 

yawn, i didnt install it and no problem

 

Called the dealer and can get OEM's including installation for $75.................that sealed the deal for me.

I would be paying $60+ just to get them sent to me.

Not only that, I'll save $100 worth of cussing & swearing!!!!!!!!

 

I have. Got mine from ebay, and put them in I'd say in about an hour because I took my time. Those inserts (I believe) are to keep the window from rattling when it is open slightly. As for the channels don't worry they aren't that fragile, I pulled mine out with no problem just take your time. If you car is new which it sounds like, the rubber won't be hard and dry rotted like an old cars would. You shouldn't have any problems. It was the little clips that threw me at first. I figured it would be just 2 sided tape, but they really do hold. No rattle, look good and no problems. Good luck.

 

just did the install right now and it was simple(30 mins w/ help from the g/f) , the sealers are easy to put it in, u should have no problem. i acutally followed the measurements in the directions just to be exact lol

 

help! i only received 1 set of sealer with my package...am i supposed to cut them in half for both windows or am i just missing a set? the "long" end of th sealer is about 5 inches and the short is 2 inches

 

nvm.....there were 2 pieces but on the same backing...phail.

 

i installed mine earlier today, i didnt pull out the channel all the way and did it okay, nothing teared for me. fairly easy as well...only took me an hour or so

 

have the fronts installed so confused about the rear and the sealer

 

I installed the OEM and thought they were a pain in the ass. Just follow the 10 page directions and you should be fine. I did break the triangle plastic trim on the left door as the instruction say to set it aside and I mistakenly thought it ment to actually set it aside instead of just loosen the two front tabs.

 

same here except I broke the right side as I started with that side first. The instructions were not very clear about just moving the trim to the side vs removing it.
