I too am using the ones from Versa Speed and I LOVE them! They fit the car PERFECTLY! I cringe when I see all the horribly fitting window shades people put on their cars (a lot of them are flapping in the breeze too!)

the reason the Versaspeed visors fit so well, is cuz theyre actually made for the Versa, plus theyre fairly priced at about $40 or so.... check it out at http://shop.versaspeed.com

Lol that's funny that the instructionscame like that.

Anyways, your kit should have came with 2 or 4 visors (depends on what you bought), and 4 alcohol prep wipes.

Step 1: use a prep wipe and wipe where the adhesive will touch the car. Peel off the back of the adhesive and stick to window.Step 2: repeat for other windows

that's how I did mine. They look great.Good luck and don't forget to post some pictures!!!

The clips go on the door frame (pull the big rubber gasket out to put them on, then put it back). This is after you put the visors on with the adhesive. The clips go where the tabs are on the visors (3 on each front and 2 on each rear, if I remember correctly). You should see the pics of this in the Japanesse instructions, kinda.

I would take pics, but don't have my Versa anymore.

Did you get them from Versaspeed?I bought mine from Versaspeed and the instructions were in Japanese too. The installation only took about 10 minutes.

First I opened all the windows. Then I cleaned the area with rubbing alocohol. My dad helped me install the visors to align them perfectly. We started peeling the white tape off of the adhesive. Once we had stuck the visor on we used the clips and inserted them into the spot on the visor and in between the rubber seal on the outside of the window. Slowly roll the window up and they lock into place. I installed them a few months ago and they are perfect!

Thanks everyone! Yes I bought these from Versaspeed... Funny the instructions are in Japanese, maybe I can have my dog he`s a Shiba Inu, translate them for me...LOL...

ok, yeah I gathered from the pictures that you have to pull down the rubber gaskets for the windows, and install the clips where the mating parts are on the visors...

question is, do the visors go flush with the top of the door (black part)?no alcohol pads but that`s no big deal...

iluvmyVersa08, thank you for the pics!

hopefully I`ll get to install these in the next day or to, it`s been raining like crazy here

Lol yes my instructions were in a foreign language as well.I never pulled any seals out ... you just have to pull the rubber down a bit and slide the clip in. If you slide it in right you will feel it just fit flush into the frame. And yes they go at the top of the door. I did it with the door open and windows down ... Once my dad and I figured out where the clips went, it took us about 10 minutes total to do all four doors. They recommend cleaning the door area first with rubbing alcohol. I just bought some at a drug store, put a bit on a cotton pad, and cleaned the area first.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll get it !!!!!

I guess I have a different brand on my car. I didn't order mine from Versaspeed because if I recall correctly it says that its for the HB only and I have a Sedan.

Do you guys (and gals) experience any rain leaking in with these visors when the windows are up? I'm considering them. We get only 10-12 inches of rain a year but when it does come down, it comes down with a fury. They don't call it the monsoon for nothing.

They look very good on the car.

Nice camera, Miss Luv.

Bubs daddy: No leaking with my visors. I usually never open the windows anyways when it rains.And thanks, it's a Canon, 12x zoom Good camera ... the only downfall is that it is kind of big to lug around. But it works great.

It`s been raining here. We left windows cracked open and no water or drips. When we drove the car earlier today noticed there is less wind noise with the windows open just a bit. These visors from versaspeed are great!...

Bob was having trouble getting the sets from Japan. They changed the part number and we had to track the number down. I got the number today, so he should be getting them back in stock.

The parts come from Japan for the Tiida (as option parts over here), so the instructions are in Japanese. We don't have the luxury of US parts like Japan has for OEM optional parts.

And I believe the doors are the same for HB and Sedan (but don't quote me).

On VersaSpeed I could of swore that it said that they only fitted the HB.. thats why I bought some different brand with the stickies. If they do fit the Sedan than Ill deff get rid of these ones that I have for the VersaSpeed ones! lol

I dont know. I also have a sedan. I ended up buying some off ebay they said they were for the sedan. I only paid $25 shipped and they work great. They are the ones that go on the outside not the in channel ones.Do a search on ebay you may find them. I bought them back in september so I dont remember who I got them from. If I find out I will post it for you.

Hello everyone, I am looking for window vent shades for my 2012 Versa Hatchback. I noticed that most of the posts are old and would appreciate any help as to where people are buying them these days. Thanks in advance for your help.
