This thread is pointedly aimed at those that have a Double Cab (Sierra or Silverado) and have purchased / installed the WeatherTech Vent Visors, kit 82740

 

My kit came with two front visors, to rear visors, and a plastic installation tool that I've never seen in these kits before. It seems that the tool is used to press the visor against the rubber weather seal to seat the adhesive tape, but none of the four visors had adhesive on them.

 

I contacted MacNeil Automotive to inquire as to whether there was supposed to be adhesive or not, and I was told "No, just the clips."

 

I didn't get any clips either. So, they're mailing a set to me. But, in looking at the rear visors, they are not cut/molded to install with clips and I'm wondering if the woman that was handling my inquiry knows what she's talking about.

 

So... For those of you that have this set of visors - did yours come with adhesive? Clips? Neither? Both?

 

If you got clips, were your rear visors cut/molded for them?

On my crew cab it came with two metal clips per side that hold the visor up in the window seal, no adhesive. That's the whole reason I bought them.

 

They have an S type shape to them that holds the visor and it goes up inside the window seal and basically holds them in there with pressure

Thanks for the note. Were your visors molded / cut where the clips are supposed to attach them? I thought that the instructions shows notches in the visors that installed with clips, and there are no notches in mine.

 

I'm not sure if the DC and CC versions would install the same way because of the difference in size, though.

Good to know. Thanks!

 

They recommend installing them 3"-4" from the edge. Seems you're dead-on in that regard. Waiting for them to come in the mail so I can determine if they're going to actually be useful or not.

Thanks... I saw the video and it looks pretty simple. I just didn't get any clips. :(

 

Still waiting for them...

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?

      side view camera

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.
