Update: My WeatherTech window visors
I had my windows closed for 3 days after installing them to "seat" the visors in the window channel. The right front window was having problems closing so I called up the company. They reminded me that the bottom of the front visors have to be sitting ON TOP of the window sill, NOT inside the channel.( it's about a 1 1/2 " piece ) OOPS !!!! MY BAD !!!
As I tried to re-install them, I realized how frickin' tight they were now as I tried to push them in the frickin' channel without pinching the frickin' rubber seals around the frickin' window !!!! I ended up breaking small pieces of the plastic off as I frickin' forced them in !!!!!!! Someone please just kick me in the groin !!!!!!! Anyway, they seem OK now even though a few pieces broke off. If you want pictures of the correct way to install the front visors...e-mail me here:

I had these type of visors on another vehicle and I was pretty happy with them. I'm thinking of getting them for the FIT but I wonder if they will make the ride louder or increase the wind turbulence around the windows. Would you be able to let me know? Also did you install the rear visors also? How hard/easy were those to install. In general how do you like them and where did you get them? thx!

I got them from AutoAnything.com for $100.00 even.
The rear ones were easy to push in, but they're not cut right,( or my windows aren't exactly like the model they designed the visors for ) so they fit pretty tight & don't really go up inside the channel on one end.....maybe 1/4 " too low ? No big deal...just not perfect.
I'll try to fill you in on the noise as I drive with the windows closed & opened a little too.
