scoobydoobie Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Finally got around to putting my JDM rain visors on today. Install is not bad, the hardest part was putting the roof mold back in. For some reason my passenger side visor fit easier than the driver's side. Had to bend the driver's side visor a little bit to get it to line up, while the passenger's side fit right on. Purchased from EDO Performance. Came with 12 brackets and primer. Some people's visor's come with the directions written in Japanese, but mine came with them in English, so I scanned them. Ignore the part about bracket "C" as its not needed on the Legacy install. I also ended up with two extra brackets, using 4 "A" brackets and 1 "B" bracket on each side. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/5437/visor01ug9.th.jpghttp://img156.imageshack.us/img156/9953/visor02bg4.th.jpghttp://img150.imageshack.us/img150/9952/visor03qc9.th.jpghttp://img144.imageshack.us/img144/425/visor04qr8.th.jpghttp://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7739/visor05vs8.th.jpghttp://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6141/visor06lm4.th.jpg Other helpful posts: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2261132&postcount=185 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2266238&postcount=199 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2266245&postcount=200 And a couple quick shots I took after getting mine on: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/264/rv01.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/1492/rv02.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8447/rv03.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Awesome. I've been sitting on my ass about this for the last, like, 3 years. I think you've finally pushed me over the edge. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I am in thre same boat as you, Allen. The only apprehension I have had is that I hear they make noise while driving... Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOMSWGN Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I have no noise with the visors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyWagon Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 If there's any additional noise I'd say it's very minor, and more or less a 'slightly different kind of noise' that I'm sure I'll learn to ignore in about a month (just installed them last week). Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. .../PartyWagon/... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoobie Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I haven't driven the car yet since putting them on yesterday, but before without them on, I would get all kinds of wind noise with the window at certain positions. I'm more interested to see how well they keep rain from getting in the car when I crack the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhBe1 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 It does allow you to crack the window on a Mid-Atlantic summer day, parked. Ours is starting to loosen at the front. Perhaps I didn't clean the plastic enough. Might add a screw on each side. 06LOB2.5i MT, JDMRSB, GYTTs, HPS, LGT Mufflers & Leather Wheel, SubiMomo Knob, Inalfa Moonroof, Clutch Switch Bypass, DeDRLd, DeChimed, & Straight Headrest.

scoobydoobie Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Quick update, my visors do not add any extra noise. They do keep rain out with the window cracked a bit, which is nice. I'm happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hey scoobiedoobie (and others with the OEM JDM Rainguard) - How far can you guys/gals crack your windows, before rain/weather intrudes? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, not as much as I'd like.. maybe 2.5" or so? I'll double check for you next time we get some rain this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Two-point-five?!!! That's not bad at all!!!! I'd assume that's at-cruise, right? How about if the car was at a standstill (say, at a light).

scoobydoobie Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 2.5 may have been a bit of an over estimate on my part. And yeah, that would be at cruise. It also depends a lot on how torrential the downpour is. Next time I drive in the rain here, I'll take some observations for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any confirmation on the above? Also, more specifically, I'm wondering if you meant 2.5" at-standstill....how much you can crack the windows open, at-standstill, that's my main concern. With the AVS ("USDM") rainguards, I can open to about an inch, max, before rain intrusion, at-standstill.... <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sat in the car and I can crack the window about 2" without rain drops getting in, maybe a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoobie Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, I got it from EDO performance. Not sure not what the difference is (or if there is one at all), may want to email them and check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 One's apparently for vehicles with the OEM roof-rails, the other, without. That should correspond to wagon versus sedan, respectively. I ordered the model without roof-rails (sedan), and also a Zero/Sports TMIC splitter this morning, but both were out-of-stock, backordered 4-5 weeks. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 EDO's C/S is really responsive - I'm impressed. We exchanged about a half-dozen e-mails throughout the early evening, yesterday, and sorted out my order, including verification of the product numbers/application. The ones "without roof rail," their C/S confirms, is designed for SEDAN (BL) fitment. I also looked up the product number, individually, and several other sources confirms this as well. The one "with roof rail" is for WAGON (BP) fitment. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
