Managed to get my hands on an ebay roof visor/spoiler! Contrary to all opinions in other threads this thing wasn't easy to install alone... But at least, the fitment is really good, although stupid me managed to stick it on a bit off centre



What's your thoughts? It's slightly more to the right than its supposed to. I'm really thinking about pulling it off and re-aligning, but its easier said than done as that double sided stuff its got on it looks like a real pain to undo!!!

hahha, yeah it was quite a pain lining it up. I accidentally stuck it on while lining up and part of the tape lost it's stickiness. finally took it off and retaped it this year. looks good though. get a shot from the rear. hopefully it's not off by too much.

I have one of the HiC TRD Roof Spoiler Replicas too. Lol.

I'll get a snap as soon as I can. It's not sideways or anything, just a bit offset to the right for about 7mm, but I can tell you it was really tedious to line up the screw holes afterwards, so much as I had to bend one of the fitting brackets to make it work.. Unfortunately i even managed to scratch the clear coat quite a bit, but at least its now covered by the visor itself. The trunk window washer really gives it away if you look closely.

Just how did you manage to pull it off? I've tried to pry it off but I was scared of breaking the visor so I left it as is for now. Might try to redo it as soon as I find a way to take it off. Maybe cut the double sided tape with some fishing line or something?

Yep, HiC - they could at least provided *some* tips to install it correctly the first time around!

I iike it, looks good!!

How much did this cost you? Did you have to drill holes? or just tape/use factory holes?

It costed $104.99 + $60 postage to Malta (EU), so I reckon postage will me much less for you in the states. Here's the link Roof Visor. Doesn't require drilling, just uses 3m double sided stuff on the base. Also uses side brackets to help fasten. make sure you can get a buddy to help fit cause its a pain to line up by yourself.

I can write down some brief instructions if you need. (i learned the hard way, lol)

Those run about 80 -125 from what I've seen.

Comes with 3m tape on the part that rests on the hatch, and the brackets are like set screws onto the hatch. No drilling.

Stays solid, but you have to line it up perfect on the first try. Otherwise that tape is strong as hell, and often breaks the visor removing it.

A hair off, and it'll pop on the hatch when you try to open it, cracking it after a few tries.

In the future, if you only peel the corners of the adhesive and line it up, you can then pull the backing off while it's held in place and stick it down. Makes for perfect alignments every time

Cool thanks. No need for a write up.
Just like the look of this, but have never really looked into the cost/installation process and was curious!

That's some solid advice. I would also suggest sliding in some thin plastic strips beneath the side brackets to make sure that the screws don't bite down and scratch the paint beneath them when tightened. Also applies for the underside screws...
