Knucklehead97 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I just scored a set of metal visors for my door windows. I think they're OEM? I paid 20 shipped for them so I think I got a good deal. How rare are they? And how do they mount? I haven't received them. They're shipping tomorrow. Just wanting to get everything together to install when they get here! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I've got three pair of the metal visors / rain guards , some were mopar and some were the ventshade brand . I wouldn't call them rare , but they don't show up often . They are held up with three clips on each side that go in between the window seal and door frame .

The guy I bought them from said no hardware was included so I'm not sure if they have the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I never had to search for the clips , mine were all complete . Hornbrod may know as I know he has a pair of mopar ones . I can take a pic of the clips tomorrow if you want me to ,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have a set of clips around somewhere - don't know if they are Mopar or aftermarket. I think I remember though that they didn't work with the factory Mopar visors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I meant to take pictures but the timing on this is perfect .http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-OEM-NIB-Jeep-Commanche-Stainless-Steel-Ventshade-Kit-/122479539641?hash=item1c845975b9:g:BAUAAOSwnONZC2ay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 That is good timing. I'll know what brand they are when they come in. They shipped yesterday. I'll figure out some way to mount them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Finally got the visors. They look good, just need paint. No clips though. How do the clips fit on? I'm going to rig them probably once I figure out how the stock clips worked. Theres no markings for manufacturer on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I doubt if you can rig these w/o clips. The clips are one or the other below depending on your visor type. My visors use the black clips on the right. You install them by rolling down the window, pulling the glass weather strip down from the top a couple of inches, then pushing the flat part up into the metal channel with the prongs facing down and on the outside. It takes three clips for each door. Then push the weather strip back up and roll the window up tight to press them the clips in tight. The visors have a channel on one side that the prongs clip onto, holding it in place. It's a bear sometimes to get all three clips clipped in, but once in the visor is firm. I have about eight of the shiny clips you can try - hopefully they will work on your visors. PM me your address if you want them. I only have three of the black ones left and need to keep them for spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'm guessing these are Mopar visors then? The clips don't even come close to connecting them as you can slightly see (horrible camera sorry) or do I have them installed wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 It's a bit blurry , but it looks like they're installed wrong . It's supposed to rain , but if it doesn't maybe I'll take some pics of how they should be .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Here's a pic of one of the clips looking up from the inside of the door. You can see the two clip prongs and how they clip on the visor. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'm guessing these are Mopar visors then? The clips don't even come close to connecting them as you can slightly see (horrible camera sorry) or do I have them installed wrong? The Mopar shades were made by Vent-Shade. They were the same exact product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sorry it's taken me a little bit to post back, been busy working on my Contour and doing yard work for my ma lately so the Jeep is having to wait more. This is with the clip mounted the other way in the window, the clip is a little blurry cause the sun was shining and I couldn't tell if the phone was focused or not. The "prongs" on the clip don't fit too tightly on the visor when I install them like Hornbrods picture shows. But I think with some work I can make this work great.
