    JC Whitney has a 15% sale going on with free shipping and have been thinking of getting a set of window visors. Had these on my 72 VW bug and loved them. Would like to use them on my Prius. Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a specific brand or seller. The JC Whitney ones are held in place with an adhesive on the visor itself. Would appreciate any guidance. thanks,

    Thanks for the link. Wondering if the clips have the potential of damaging the rubber seal. I did see the WeatherTech ones and thought they were too expensive. I bought the full set of WeatherTech floor mats, and while I thought they were well made I felt they were way over-priced. '

    I have the JDM Toyota version and I really like them. They've held up very well so far.

    If you have the budget for jdm oem, it's the way to go. It's low profile and it barely sticks out. Nice clean lines.

    The WeatherTech clips for the rear windows fit behind the rubber seal and in the door frame track so there is no potential for damaging the rubber seal. The WeatherTech window fit is very good and they are simple to install.

    I'll check out the JDM. Saw them on Amazon for about $45. Are those the same ones?

    Hmm, just noticed in another thread here at Priuschat that you have to remove the outer weather stripping. Not for me. I would rather not get involved in tearing things out and then having to put them back. Just want to put them in and go.

    if you are referring to my image post, that is the toyota oem. That will cost you alot more. The link I gave you earlier in the thread is similar and will cost closer to $45.
