Interested to hear your opinion of the in-channel visors, I went with the Wellvisors for my Fit and love them. Unfortunately, they don't make anything for an 09 Ridgeline, everything I've found is the in-channel type.

Don't see how there's enough space for decent airflow with the windows cracked down, but they must work or nobody would buy them.

This is my first in-channel ones so I'll give you a review after I drive it some. Might be a while since we're on lockdown and I really only go out for grocery shopping so I take the Odyssey since I can pop the trunk without touching the car. Comes in handy when you do mobile pickup and the workers can just toss it in the back and I can close the trunk from the inside

I was going to get the Wellvisors but liked the "cleaner" look of the in channel more. Hopefully I don't regret them, but weathertech has been around for a while so not likely to come out with a crappy product. Considering it took them 5-6 years for them to release them for the GK lol

I had weathertech in-channels on my Frontier and they were great. Only thing is make sure to read reviews for the Fit because I swear I read some complaints about how tight the fit was when closing the windows, I guess it could be added stress on the window motors. I didnt notice that issue on my Frontier though.

The windows are a little slower to close but I'm hoping that goes away after a while. Waiting for a nice warm sunny day to have the car sit in the sun for the day.

I haven't seen any 2020 Type R in stock anywhere; but I did buy a Gen2 Valentine One before their Covid shutdown. Got to support my local mom and pop radar detector store.

Nice! Are these the in-channel ones?

I bought the in channel visors bc Weathertech typically makes them relatively flush for Fits and these don't stick out far.

Another bonus is that they seem flexible. How flexible? Today I literally smashed my head in the middle of them while absent mindedly reaching for something in the car. First thing I did was to check for damage to the visor, THEN check my head.

I guess it's nicer to smack my head into the visor versus the door frame.

My GK is currently bone stock so I went a little crazy and bought...
HKS exhaust
Tien lowering springs
Megan Racing front and rear sway bar
NRG Prisma seat in pink. (The fit is purple)

I am still waiting on ordering Ultra Racing strut bars for the front and rear and a C-pillar bar. The distributors in Malaysia are currently closed so I haven't bought those yet.

I have done that a few times, as well as smacking my knuckles against the visors when reaching out to wave at others. The visors have never popped off (knock wood).

I put a 440CCA in mine, and I can let it sit for 5-6 days without starting it, and it starts up perfectly. And in winter the same.

I've been leaving my car for up to a week at a time lately, and it starts without any issues when I get back to it. Wonder where the drain is?
