How do you eliminate the opening where the sun shines through between the car visor and this product??

Sally, I can't remember exactly, so you might have to experiment with my explanation. I removed the "visor piece" from the unit, and turned it around. I re-installed the unit, and the space you mentioned is gone. Good Luck! It did work for me. Joeittle

Sally, there's a very simple answer. When the Polarized visor is mounted as instructed, it's on the bottom of the car visor. Pull it down from the car visor just about half-way, and then push the car visor all way forward towards the windshield (if the polarized visor was still folded up, it would actually be on top of the car visor). Then just adjust the polarized visor to your correct height by tilting it towards you or lowering the car visor a bit. There won't be any gap.

Sally, The way I do this is by changing the angular relationship between the car visor and the polarizing filter. I drop the car visor just enough to deploy the filter and then angle the filter to get it before my eyes but not so much as to create the gap you are talking about. I believe if you experiment with this idea you will find it works. But be aware this filter is not for direct sunlight relief. Polarizing filters are for reflected light. If you are going to drive during hours of low direct sunlight you will need a dark shade filter in addition to this products. Mark

Hi Sally, If the car visor is at a 90 degree angle from the roof of the car, the gap shows and sunlight comes through. But by tilting the car visor 80-85 degree angle and with the attached visor pulled down, the gap is not seen. Thus your eyes are not blinded by the sun. I especially love it on those times driving into the sunset.

Since the primary intent of the product involves "wet sanding", it would be to your advantage to keep the headlights out of direct sunlight while your doing it, but doing it specifically indoors isn't necessary in my experience. The last time I used it, I pulled my car close to the open garage to provide shade, but to still allow some wind to keep me cool during the work and to aid in the drying process. FYI - the results were fantastic and I hoping to get some longer lasting results by using an automotive plastics treatment every 6 months or so since other reviews have indicated the results may not be the "lifetime" promised by the Manufacturer. In any case, my headlight look much better than before, and the kit was relatively easy to use. Good luck.

You fold it up like those sun covers for inside your car. Hold it with both hands, one at each end and give it a twist. You may have to try this more than once. It sometimes fights back. ;)

I find it simple to remove and install it. With the panels off you still get some sun, you're just not baking in it. To remove it I would just un clip the front and sides but keep the back loops on (those are the hardest if the rear hard top pannel is on. You can just roll it up and secure it on the roll bar and you'll have sun.

Hm, I don't understand what you have in mind - covering the top half of your helmet with polarizing film, so that there's some shade for your eyes depending on where the visor is positioned? That may work. But you won't get any kind of lighter/darker depending on the rotation - you would need some kind of pair of sheets of film where one rotates and the other doesn't. Also - the film is pretty stiff and non stretchy. Would it be feasible to take paper and get that pressed flatly against your visor? If not, then the polarizing film won't take that shape either.

There is a hex bolt (you'll need a nut driver or small wrench) that's available once you open the hatch. Once this is out, lift the assembly away from the door opening. At the far edge of the light (farthest away from the hex bolt) there's a prong on the inside of the lens assembly that fits into a socket in the body of the car.

The instructions with this visor clearly state that you must not look through it, because the plastic will distort any view. It's more of a visor extension. It doesn't brighten the night time view, it darkens it, but I guess it could help cut down on glare from overhead street lighting.

You just put down the 2 sun visors on the passenger side and drivers side, that is all the hold up the light-weight sun visors. It is made stiff but folds in half in the middle and it is sturdy and light weight. I just fold it in half at the middle and leave it on my passenger side in the front when I go out to drive somewhere. It is light weight and I like the silver side to protect my car's interior from the hot sun's rays. And at night it works well to protect prying eyes to see inside my car. I very much like this product and I will tell all my friends about it!

You would have to move your visor to the side, which would help, but then the front view is not protected.

Good question Eik, we always ask our customers to call their licence Center to confirm, so they do not have any issues. We are aware that many of our customers use it in their front driver side window to block the sun, but please do confirm with your local board. Sorry we do not know the rules for each state. Sincerely Starlight and Sunny

Hi, It is not a one way tint like they put on car. It does not create any privacy. Just dims the glass a slight bit. If you put it side by side with a window without you will notice a slight difference, otherwise you will eventually forget it is even there. Kinda of tricky (requires patience) to install but not too hard.

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

Visor generally works great, but I agree that it doesn't totally shield intense sunlight you get in the mornings and late afternoons when you face it. I'm not blinded by it, but I'm aware of it.

That's a good question. Its been lessening over the weeks and is much more tolerable now. At first I was airing out the car each time. Thought of getting a cargo visor to block the sun and view of the area.

Once it has been applied and the sun hits it for a couple days good luck getting it back off. I would just cut away any loose pieces and go right over.

Just wrap tape around it. I actually use the wrap to prevent sun scald in the summer.

It pops off like a car sun visor. Pull it and then push back in. Kinda tough, though.
