MUGEN Vent Visors

Ordered my MUGEN Visors on line from Panducky $140 to my door including 6.5% Fla sales tax.

Directions are not in English , but after some studying of the figures figured it out. The little metal clips with small pins was the most time consuming part, but it ended up taking me 1 hour.

They look very good and they will have to be to live in Fla. I doubt the little plastic pins will last long.

I had WeatherTec ones on my last car and the acrylic plastic was still like new after 10 years. I have know idea what material there are made of but it sturdy looking and fit well.

Figured I'd post this for anyone looking at that add on.

The plastic pins are garbage. There's no benefit to having the clips with pins being so sloppy. I've lost three off my car already - I'm still trying to decide whether to take the clips off or find another way to hold them together. If I could do it all over again, I'd VERY CAREFULLY put a little super glue in the pin casing (and work fast!)

Maybe a dab on the back side of the installed pin would help. I think I'd use some kind of other glue maybe 2 part epoxy. Thanks for the confirmation on them pins. I was hoping they had something to keep water from the windshield from rolling in the cracked window when driving.

How far down have you kept your windows when parked?

I felt like an idiot staring at the directions for ours. The other thing of note for someone else installing them is to be careful with the primer. All others that I've had came with rubbing alcohol not an actual primer. The primer will melt plastic and paint. Make sure to only use it where the visors cover.

I roll my windows up until it's not visible from the outside that they're down. So I'd say an inch to an inch & a half open. Being warm here, I've been very impressed that the car is BARELY warmer than the outside when I get in. But it' hasn't heated up to 95 yet either - so we'll see.

Hey Squirrely:

Glad to know that it is warm enough where you are to have to roll the windows slightly down! Up here in WV it is in the deep freeze! I washed my Fit yesterday in 32 degree weather with the snow coming down! Wish I lived in Florida!
