As most of you probably know there appears to be only one real option for rain guards right now the well-visors. In my opinion they are almost essential because of the wind buffeting and no rear driver side window.

I was super unsatisfied with the tint color even though I actually loved the fit on the car, they just looked so plastic (which of course they are). So I had mine wrapped in the same material as the roof. So they are about as color-matched as it is humanly possible to go. Wish it was sunnier here for pictures because they are like glossy as F-.

Some just came in for me but are missing the little foam pieces for the mirrors and rear door. Is it basically just 1/4 or 3/8" soft foam weatherstrip with adhesive on one side?

Wrapping isn't a bad idea, may have to look at that.

Mine came with the foam strips, but I didn't end up using them, I didn't feel the need. At least for me, it's such a tight fit in those spaces (especially the rear) that the foam would have made no difference. Plus its of astoundingly bad quality... It would have interfered with a perfect placement in my opinion and I doubt it would make much difference.

If I had to guess I would say it's 1mm sponge tape.

Guess I won't bother looking for a replacement for those. Have you had the windows cracked in the rain yet?

yeah. It's possible I didn't notice water coming in from the mirrors. If you dry fit the rain guards and then sit in the car with the windows down you will see that where foam strips were recommended there is no actual open window to see water come in from... so I never had any problems. I would guess really pressing the glue in and getting a good seal will be more important than the tiny crack where there is no foam. Maybe my pair just fit exceptionally well, and maybe yours fit a little looser. I can't judge from here. It never hurts to be safe, but I personally haven't had issues.

Well Visors are easy to install and look quite good, on the Red VN especially with the black trim.

I love mine. Adds a nice simple touch to already nice styling.

Available from Hyundai.

I asked at the dealership and was quoted $300 cad for vent visors.

I'm a little confused, as Hyundai Accessories doesn't have any for the 2019 yet in the US, Canada, and Korea. I'm wondering if they're attempting to sell you 2017 OEM models? Don't buy them, they won't fit.:surprise: There are crossovers for other Hyundais, like the Elantra Visors for the Accent but none for the Veloster.

That's clean, ever considered wrapping or swapping the lower red trim pieces with black?

Yes. All the time! At the end of the day I actually like the red. If I went that direction I would more likely change the color of the red from its current bright state to a darker burgundy or wine color. Subtle changes.

I haven't and might never do it because unlike the roof which sees little damage from other cars and bugs, the front end is like a rock chip and scrape and minor damage magnet. The first time I drive to work behind a truck without the legally required mudflaps (like all of them), I now have a bright red scratch.

I told them at that price they better be gold plated and include installation.

No crap!! I paid $120 for a set of $250 OEM Visors on sale at the Hyundai Shop but $300.00 wow!

What is the actual material you used for the wrap?

 

[nomad17]

Well, first rain today and i do have a small drip point on each front visor just behind the mirrors. Was going to have them wrapped this Saturday but may hold off.

Couple questions for anyone that may have experience. What is the likelihood of a small bead of clear silicone along the top being mostly invisible and is it easily removable down the road?

Or, if I were to decide to remove the visors now how easily would the 3m tape release?

BDT: I used Avery Gloss Black, but it was leftover scrap from the roof.

Nomad: I don't have any leaks at all after being dumped on with rain for a week, maybe I am just lucky. You could also use a heatgun or hairdryer and warm up the glue and then apply more pressure to the glue in the leaking spot. I used quite a bit of pressure and flattened the glue as much as it would go, and this might be the reason for my seal.

You could try to stick a tiny piece of foam tape in from the underside (with the window down), it would probably be enough. If I was faced with your problem I would actually purchase fine grade 'greenstuff' and delicately plug the hole from the top using only as much as was necessary and then waiting for it to dry and using the tip of a size "0" paint brush to paint smoke colored for original tint, or black with my tint. I already have all this stuff because I build scale models, but it's cheap and waterproof.

As for taking them off, you can do so the same way as you would debadge the car, but be MUCH more careful (I did this once and the wrapped one is actually my second pair). The vinyl that the guards are attached to is much more delicate than the trunk paint, and you will scratch. Take extra precautions around the mounting hooks or they will leave marks. I wouldn't call it easy, but it's also not hard.

Great suggestion and will work well.

Carid sucks for Canadians !!!!

Just tried to order Wellvisors for my N and my wifes' Kona from Carid.com.
Went through checkout then PayPal to be redirected to Carid where I was given some bull**## about due to the materials these could not be shipped to Canada. These are acrylic vent visors not explosives.
All this after clearly stating in checkout "free shipping to Canada".

Moral of this story : F**k Carid if you live outside of the US.

Go to WellVisor direct and order them.
