I just peeled off the cheap double-stick tape that came on the visors and replaced it all with 3M Grey. Has held great so far, been on a few months. That's my recommendation.

But the rears have no way to stay in w/o taping them. No way to pressure fit them.As BD stated, get rid of the cheap double-stick that comes on them. It's junk and peels off pretty easily. Then replace it with a 3-8"- 1/2" wide strip of 3M gray. I ended up using 3 pieces. One long one and two shorter ones for the sides. Try not to get too close to the part of the visor you'll see, as I did. Keep it up a little higher. I pulled out the window channel (rubber) and cleaned it inside and out w/70% alcohol and clean paper towels. The channel in the door too (you'd be surprised just how dirty it gets in there.) 'Made sure it was a clean and dry as I could make it, then did the install.You'd be surprised just how well it holds. The original stuff came loose almost immediately. And a subsiquent try w/another double-stick didn't last much longer either.
