Vent Visors - In Channel or Tape on?

[slide187]

It’s all in the prep work for the tape-ons. And the tape I’m talkin about is asphaltic automotive tape. Aka the same stuff that holds on our badges and side moldings, Not the cheapo double sided foam. If they come with that they won’t last. But with the good stuff. If you do the prep carefully, they’ll stay on.

Your dealer should know how to reset the antipinch -- the instructions come with the vent visors:

1. Start with the window partly open.
2. Close the window.  As it reaches closed position keep holding up on the window switch for 3-5 seconds.
3. Open the window.  As it reaches open position keep holding down on the window switch for 3-5 seconds.
4. Close the window.  As it reaches closed position keep holding up on the window switch for at least 10 seconds.
5. Keep the windows closed for 48 hours so the visors can mold to the channel (if possible out in the warm sun is better).

That should do it.  I did mine almost 4 years ago when the visors were installed and I have never had the windows reverse direction ...

I’ll have to try that again; it very similar to the auto up/down reset on my bmw and VW (whose process I tried on the truck) but still only get a 50% success. The instructions that came with my vent visors just said “close up all the way, hold up for 5 seconds, sit for 72 hours” or something to that effect.

@dukedkt442, care to elaborate on this?

@sk When you say hold the switch up/down, does this mean at the second 'notch' of the switch, past the notch that triggers the auto roll up/down?  I have tried this both ways and got varying results.

Yes the switch should be at full pull both up and down.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll give it a shot.
