if the canadian tire ones are the type that fit inside the window frame (not stick on the outside) then I would deem them to be just fine, no better, no worse than 150+ "jdm" ones

Bottom is, if the visor is attached via double sided tapes, just forget it. Been there, and buddy drove my car back with one side gone. He didn't even know where it went off.

As long as it fits nicely, and deflects rain, it is good enough.

If you prep the surface properly, then the stick on visors are almost impossible to remove without breaking them. (trust me on this)



Also, the visors are the best thing I ever installed on my car. I can now open the window just over 1" without worring about rain coming in.



Oh, and those factory Honda ones? They require more work than you think to make them fit right. (I installed the ones on 94EG6HB's car)


IMO, just get the stick on ones, and make sure you use some adhesion promoter on the rubber before you stick them to the door frame. The stick on ones also require you to lightly sand the surface where the tape is to stick to. This makes the surface ready for the tape.

Like I said before.......if you install them correctly, they are almost impossible to remove....unless you break them off.

Just get the Crappy tire ones.

The ones I have are Ventshade. (?) (too cold to go outside and check)


Make sure you prepare the surface properly before you stick them on. Also wait for warmer weather.
