Hello, decided to recondition my sun faded purple door visors. These steps will show you how I did mine. Be carefull when removing them from your vehicle as some sets are more brittle then others, important to add heat to the visor tape when removing them to weaken the sticky tape. This will allow them to come off easier... Keep em comin!
Step 1: Assess What You Will Need...
Can Of Lift Off
Heat Gun
Spoon
Exterior Mounting Tape
"Smoke" Lens Spray (this small can required 3 for me)
Step 2: Spray Lift Off Onto 1 Visor And Let Sit For Acouple Minutes...
Step 3: Heat Up Old Tape With Heat Gun...
(lift off is flammable be cautious)
Step 4: Start Removing The Old Stubborn Tape With A Durable Spoon...
(have patience, this part is not so fun)
Step 5: Setup A Place To Start Spraying...
(spray only on the inside not the outer surface)
Don't Rush Spraying These, Allow Time For The Coats To Dry
Step 6: Recommend Atleast 24 Hours For Drying Time...
(start install the following day)
Step 7: Apply Exterior Mounting Tape...
(be creative on the curves/turns)

When You Are Ready To Install...
Step 8: Roll Down All The Windows - Pull Backing Off Of The Tape...
Step 9: Pull Window Run Chanel Out Of Its Track On The Front And Rear Window To Allow The Sideways Clip To Enter...Heat Up The Tape To Ensure A Proper Grab...
Step 10: Then Seat The Clips Of The Door Visor Along The Top Edge Onto The Door, Applying Pressure Along The Whole Visor To Ensure The Tape Is Secure, Then Re-Tuck The Rubber Run Channel Into Its Track After The Visor Is Installed And Secured...
Hope This Helps - Enjoy

and yes, to feed my jealousy
i just bought a set of these and plan on doing hte exact same thing...
thanks for the install instructions too; you are my hero right now...
The more I looked at these though the more I thought that Honda placed the clips on the car first then pressed the visors on. The problem with mine is that the glue for the clips is so old. So I think mine will have to be glued on.
Good writeup 8)
