What are Door Visors?

• Simply Put, Car door visors, also known as window
  deflectors, wind deflectors, window visors, rain
  visor or vent visor are an automobile accessory
  that are installed or attached to the sides of
  the car windows that gives the car a customized
  look along with solving many practical purposes
  such as making it possible to partially open the
  car windows in light rain, providing protection
  against the direct suns rays as well as reducing
  the vehicles fuel consumption through lower
  usage of air-conditioning and improved
  aerodynamic stance.
• The car visors also help the deflection of
  oncoming winds, especially at higher speeds and
  thereby improving the drive performance and
  decreasing the wind noise inside the cabin.

• In Channel Visors These kind of car door
  visors use tension to stay securely mounted with
  the use of a double sided tape. The installation
  is extremely simple and does not require the use
  of the painted surface of the car thereby
  preventing any resultant damage. The only down
  sides to the in channel visors is that their
  installation takes a longer time and also can
  interfere with the workings of the sensitive
  power windows of many vehicles.
• Externally Mounted Visors Also known as stick-on
  visors, these visors are attached to the exterior
  part of the door frames and physically stuck with
  the use of industrial strength tape. The main
  advantages of this kind of visors are that these
  are extremely easy to install with no
  interference to the window channels as well are
  cheaper to get.
• The door visors can also be distinguished based
  on the material used and their transparency
  levels whether these are of tinted plastic,
  opaque chrome finish or transparent plastic. In
  India, there are many companies that specialize
  in the manufacture of car door visors, but Auto
  Clover is one of the best.

Installation Procedure

• The installation of door visors is extremely
  simple and can be done in minutes, even by the
  users themselves. Most car visor kits come with
  all the required materials, such as tapes,
  adhesives, cleaning liquid etc which makes it an
  extremely simple procedure. The installation
  requires just four simple broad processes
•  
• 1) Preparing the Car Basically this step
  requires the selection of the correct size of the
  visor and preparing the surface or the window for
  the installation. The exterior of the car should
  be cleaned properly for a proper adhesion as well
  as the window should be prepared for attaching
  the visor if an in channel visor is being chosen
• 2) The installation itself The installation is
  mostly a simple process but care must be taken to
  install the visors in the correct alignment as
  well as angle and if an in channel installation
  is done, to ensure proper fastening or snapping
  of the visor to the window.
• 3) Finishing the installation Once the
  installation is complete, care must be taken to
  clean any residual adhesive etc, as well as
  ensuring that there is no obstruction to the
  functioning of the window or any of the power
  window features.
