I am going to install the OEM Armrest and OEM Window Visors tomorrow. I have the instructions and an armrest video... looking for a visor video. Anyone know of one? or a good DIY write up?

i searched and couldnt find any... any suggestions on the install?

 

follow the DIY on college hills honda site. the clips may not look like the ones in the PDF but they will match up when you look at the shape of the door and the clips. it's really not very hard, just take your time to make sure it's lined up correctly.

 

and there is no way around removing the rubber lining on the door? im curious about the foam inserts i need to install inside...

 

yup. have to remove the weather stripping when you do it. don't worry, they'll go back in nice and tight. the foam inserts are used as an aid to put more pressure between the weather stripping and the window. I don't exactly believe that they're necessary but I put them in anyway since it was included and I had the weatherstrip apart anyway.

 

I looked at the instructions and all the little "don't do it this way diagrams" and had a hard time telling right from wrong, so I just let the dealer do it for me before I picked it up. They were great about it and didn't gouge me for labor.

 

^ i wish my dealers were so nice lol

They told me 2 hours labor at $95 an hour

 

Well, I see you aren't in Northern VA, so it wasn't Hendrick, but sounds very similar. Rick Case maybe? That crook had his first Honda shop in Kent, Oh when I was a kid.

Not to rub it in, but they charged me $132 for the visors including installation. I'm sure they made a profit, but it was better for me to have them do it right the first time. $180 just for labor is outright thievery.
