This DIY article is a step by step how to on installing a set of JDM visors on your Honda Del sol.



Tools Needed
1 Phillips screwdriver
1 flat-head screwdriver (or nimble fingers)
1 powered screwdriver is highly recommended (at least 3.6V)
1 16oz + hammer (optional)


Steps
1) Remove current visors.
a) Remove 4 caps on each side with a flat-head screwdriver, these cover the screws.
b) Remove the screws under the caps (Phillips). Hold the visor when you do the last one. It's heavier than you think!



2) Remove the overhead cap.
a) Remove 1 screw on each side. These are located in the area where the visors were mounted.
b) Pull the cap off. It is only held on by a few snaps.



3) Remove the A-pillar caps. They are only held on by snaps and can be pulled right off.
4) Snap on new pillar caps.
a) This is where you may need the hammer to pound this tab on the mount in a little so that it's interference with the new pillar cap is negligible. Don't beat it to hard, you may end up cracking a window by vibrating the frame, or missing...



5) Install the new overhead cap.
a) Snap it in.
b) Screw in the two small screws you removed last from the old overhead.
6) Install the new visors.
a) You'll need two of the larger screws (from the old ones) for each of the new visors. The mounting holes should already be in the frame of your car. Line up the mounts and screw in (this is where the powered screwdriver is *very* handy). Don't worry about the washers, they'll be driven right into the recesses, didn't even leave a scratch on mine despite being a tight fit.




7) You may need to bend the curved part a little to get it to fit properly, no problem.
8) Enjoy!
