Well, I'm a victim of that cheap so called JDM Ebay window visors.
It's as thin as your disposable party plates if not thinner.

Does anyone have any recommendation besides the expensive OEM or Weathertech?
Don't want to spend more than $200 for that OEM ones and don't like the in-channel weathertech ones.

Any other outside mount window visor that is in good quality?
Something fairly thick with good amount of mounting tape?

Window visors are super useful during our camping or rainy days and would love to add one to my 14 LX.



P.S. anyone used this brand of visor before?

OEM isn’t cheap but works perfectly and won’t destroy your window regulators. And, doesn’t just rely on tape but also has some brackets that install without adding force to the mechanism.

IMO that makes them more than worth the price.

Good point… I will have to reconsider OEM route if I couldn’t find any alternative.
 
Plus one on the OEM.

At first I couldn't imagine spending that much for visors, but once I pulled the trigger and installed them I wouldn't go any other way.

“Window visors are super useful during our camping or rainy days and would love to add one to my 14 LX.”

Can I ask why you like/want these visors?
Is the main gain so you can crack your window a bit while it’s raining?

I like the looks of them so I am curious but not sure if I want to adorn my vehicle with too much stuff.
 
I use the Weathertech in most of my vehicles, very happy with the fit.

It's especially useful during camping and while you parked your car during hot days.
You can crack it open and let the fresh air circulate.
Also, useful while you driving on a rainy day.
 
Another option with clip and tape installation @ $58+shipping. (A quick google and they ship for free through Amazon and EBay)

Just went through this with my 2011 cruiser. So I bought the weather tech and had issues with the auto roll up feature. Even try to relearn the window. With no success. Was a pain in the but. So I ended returning them and bought the sticky kind from Amazon. So far I like them.

I will say that Wellvisors are probably my second choice - a friend has a set I installed for him on a 2011 GX460 and they look pretty similar to OEM and use similar system to attach them to the vehicle.

My thought exactly...
Thanks to you, I finally ordered a set! :)

Friend has one in his LX and it's just too wide and blocks view somewhat IMHO...
 
I have my OEMs installed on rear windows only.
