window shades (JDM style)

I don't know about that particular manufacturer, but Auto Vent-Shade makes them for the 80. IIRC correctly, they were around $60 for the set of four. Should be available through any auto parts house.

They stick on with a high quality adhesive tape. I had a set on my '93 Rodeo for 16 years and they held up fine. On the 80, the front door set requires that you loosen the mirror mounts (very easy to do) and slip the lower end behind them. This will further lock them in place.

I like them, because they let you leave the windows cracked a little for ventilation in the summer, without that being visible. They are also good for leaving the windows open a little when up in the mountains, letting air flow to prevent fogging, even if it's raining as it often does briefly in the Rocky Mtn afternoon showers.

The actual JDM ones use 2 clips with small acorn nuts in addition to the 2 side tape.
 
There are several variations available in Japan.

The only ones that do not use just the double-sided tape is the OEM/Toyota visors and they are WAY spendy!

But as it was said above if you do the proper prep/clean up of the surface/area the tape should be strong enough to hold them in their place.

There are some that are small and also very large. I like the medium-sized ones that do not obstruct the mirrors (Sucks on rainy days).

If you can't source them localy, let me know!
 
Jerry,

Not sure if these are good pics, but the first pic is the larger of the two OEM/Toyota visors available in Japan installed.

The 2nd one is the OEM one with an aftermarket copy that I have in possession. (Not all aftermarket ones are created equal though).

The third pic is the one that I had on my rig when I purchased and removed since because they were too big for me (Obstruction view to the mirrors).

There was a smaller OEM visors but do not have pics of them and personally I never liked them.

Also, I prefer the ones that are tinted but not totally dark so I could still see through them, etc...

YMMV though!

everyone thanks!!

mot- do you have any of those OEM styles for sale by chance? if so please PM me and let me know what you want for them.
i'll keep trying to source them out but the OEM ones look pretty nice.

the ones for sale now looks a little worn out and a bit different than the OEM style (that i like).
 
TH,

I think I still have the tinted aftermarket Toyota copy, with clips, that you see in Pic 2 above if you're interested.

Let me know if you want the OEM though as used ones pop up available from time to time, but new ones, if they're still available that is, they'll be around $300 for the set of four!!!

PM on the way...
 
Anyone got a part number on the oem ones in the second pictures or have a set for sale?

Seems they are not made anymore or at least not obtainable in australia.

Get the Weather tech, pricey but they are the best. I had a set on the wife's van for ten years and they always looked like new.:cheers:
 
I have OEM ones on my truck. I'll be removing them. I like being able to stick my head out the window when crawling and they get right in the way.

I need a right side front to replace one that fell off just like the first picture here. (Drivers side front if Australia, pass side front if US)If anyone has one they want to sell, please let me know.
 
Wow, the OEM one looks really nice. Are these still available in the USA?

I have the ones from vent shade. They are okay but the OEM one looks much nicer.

Beno?
