How-To Install OEM 180SX Rain Visors

[dizzariot]

I just threw some OEM rain visors on my fastback. Even though I can read Japanese well enough I'd have to say the instructions are piss-poor. I decided to take some pictures to help out a little bit since most of my contributions to this forum include shit-talking and anti-price-gouging dialogue.

So here we go!

Here's the proper way to pair up and place the clips. For most people, this is all you need to know to get them on correctly. I scribbled it on some cardboard with a Sharpie.

*NOTE*:

Dude...fuck these little screws. Seriously. I'm going to either replace them with something else or remove them altogether. Most cars I've seen don't even use the hardware.

Here's what the 'little squares' are for. They're supposed to be adhered to the clips to prevent them from rubbing up on the visors.

Clip A:

The big hole on the bottom of this clip is for a screw that's behind the weatherstripping. As far as I can tell from the Japanese instructions, this isn't in the illustrations.

You can pop out the plastic screw to give the weatherstrippng more play.

You want to remove this screw...

...and place Clip A. Be sure to tuck the weatherstripping back in and pop the plastic screw back on.

Clip BB/B:

BB goes on top and B goes on bottom.

CC goes on top and C goes on bottom.

Hope that helps!

What I want to know is, is it possible to use rain visors and a roof rack at the same time?

The OEM visors on my DD Fa5 civic SI have the same type of setup. It was a pain in the ass to use those stupid clips so I just tossed them and used double sided tape.

Nice thanks for the thread! I was worried about putting on my new 180sx visors. Since I really couldn't understand the instructions. I'm sure this will help out big time!!

Couldn't tell you, man. Sorry.

I had a Mazdaspeed 6 and I bought the OEM Mazda rain visors. They were fucking prime. Didn't stick out too much and the mounting brackets all fit snug. The screws were actually worth installing. High quality shit.

Cool man glad I could help out! I sent a couple of PMs to dudes on here but got no reply. Once I started reading the Japanese more I got a good enough idea on how to do it...but like I said even if these were in English they'd still suck lol.

Hey man, quick question: I bought these visors of eBay from a Nissan dealership that labeled them as authentic OEM but the visors don't have 'Nissan' printed on them. Are mine fakes? I've had a set in the past but I can't remember if they had the logo on them...

I'd have to check mine aswell ! I got mine new from the nismo shop. I wouldnt doubt it. I feel like they are just making parts now a days just to sell . Quality is fading .

:naughty:

I gave up on the clips and just used double sided tape on mine, good write up though!

LOL!

Thanks for the write up. How are the visors when cruising on the highway 60-70-80mph? I've had a pair bnib since I've owned my 240sx....how good can a visor for a door with no window frame be?

I had those same reservations before buying. I had a Mazdaspeed 6 that had the in-channel ones and they were fucking solid. The 240SX ones aren't bad, though. I've taken off most of the brackets now and they aren't going anywhere. The tape is more than enough.

Just checking in . Installed my visors on my s13 following this thread and made installation a breeze ! Thanks man ! They look awesome

So am I the only one who experience no actual benefit to these visors? Sure, they look nice, but if anything they are absolutely useless in being a 'rain visor'. Maybe because there is no door frame but it literally channels the water right into my window, since when cracking my windows, the glass actually sticks out further than the visor itself. So the rain just drips straight down off the visor and right into my car, all over the door panels.

But they look so cool.

Oh no doubt about that. But I wasn't expecting to get extra wet when I decided to put on rain visors.
