Wow, that’s impressive! How does it hold up against high winds? Any issues?

No wind issues at all! I’ve driven on the highway with them, and they’ve held strong. But I’ve noticed slight vibrations at high speeds.

Ah, vibrations? Are they annoying, or just slight? I might just be overthinking it.

They’re slight for me, but if you’re sensitive to it, you might notice more. Just a personal quirk, I guess!

Absolutely! I also recommend measuring twice and cutting once if you need to trim the visors, just to be safe!

I’ve used AVS tape for my truck’s vent visors; definitely ensure you have a heat gun handy. It helps the tape adhere better in cooler weather.

Great tip, choffman! You really don’t want to rush this. If the tape isn’t warm enough, it can peel off. I learned that the hard way.
