Hey guys and gals, I'm looking at the different types of visors here and I see that the OEM window visors are expensive compared to its aftermarket competitors such as ProCivic. I am wondering whether or not it is worth it to get the cheaper aftermarket ones from ProCivic when they restock or get the OEM ones put on.

Thanks!

Im actually in the same boat, the oem ones seem like such a huge rip off for 4 pcs of plastic, alot of people here seem to like the procivic ones and include the oem style clips i would save your money and get the procivic ones since the only person able to discern the difference will be you

I just installed the ProCivic visors over the weekend and am happy with them. The install was kind of a pain because ProCivic's instruction video on YouTube was inaccurate about the clips... but once I figured out how to properly put in the clips on the first visor, then doing the rest of the visors went a lot faster. I heard that the OEM ones are nearly the same. If I were you, I would go with ProCivic.

You could probably just soak a microfiber towel and just get under there, shouldn't be that much of a hassle

I think I will go with ProCivic! My biggest concern with them was the push pins on the visor and how they stick up too much compared to OEM ones, but after seeing y'alls visors they look very similar to OEM and less $$$

If you PM me your full address I can give you a lower quote using a basic USPS shipping method, but it is slower. Canada shipping is just expensive, especially to the far out areas like NS.
