Buy a good deflector windshield, which will definitely decorate Your car, is not enough. You also need to properly mount this device on its surface. Only in this case, it is possible to achieve the result that You expected, providing aesthetic appeal and long life of the product.

At first glance, the installation of the visor on the windshield presents no difficulties, and the car owner will not need any special knowledge and skills for this operation. This is partly true, but, as in any engineering event, here are our little secrets and peculiarities. Possession will keep us from mistakes and ill-considered action that will ensure the quality of work performed.

The sequence and the essence of actions to be performed are determined primarily by the design of the selected device. And already on this basis, selected the necessary tools and tools. Accordingly our recommendations on the installation of car canopies based on different approaches to a particular method of mounting the accessory. Will focus on three main types:

• frame with a rigid skeleton;

• frameless based on the use of brackets;

• frameless installation in duct tape.

The first type of baffles consists of two parts: the plastic visor and supports in the form of thick-walled pipes. Such a structure allows to achieve greater strength and expressiveness of the product, however, is not for all kind of transport. More suited for jeeps, SUVs and trucks. Their installation is carried out in two phases. The first body is attached to the tubular frame. For this drilled in pre marked locations of the holes in which by means of bolts or screws secured the base. The second phase consists in acceding to the sun visor. As a rule, the construction of a frame deflectors for windshield provides for a fixing mechanism (grooves, clips, etc.). If no protective element "sits" on the tape.

For mounting universal visors with the brackets necessary to make a preliminary layout. First of all do the brackets adapted to the vehicle model with a flexible element, and then marked the drilling locations of the body. Accuracy and clarity of the markup to achieve through the fixation device in the desired position on the tape (to prevent damage to the surface you can use foam or cardboard). Drilling holes in the body, you can proceed to install and tighten the brackets to the bolt connection. The place of fastening to avoid corrosion should be treated with sealant.

The last group of the visors on the windshield is the easiest to install on the car. However, do not hurry to rejoice - even in this simple case can be pitfalls. The whole process of installation can be described primitive scheme: spaced - stuck double sided tape is secured the deflector. However, it is our duty to pay attention to the following nuances. Work is better done in a dry place at zero temperature. Before applying the adhesive tape, you should prepare the surface, how you clean and wipe a degreasing solution (or wipes from the kit tools). You must pay attention to the quality of the tape - this should be exclusively recommended for these means and not stationery. Improper placement of the car sun visor should move quickly to correct the mistake. Otherwise it will be difficult to tear him away from the surface.

As you can see from our descriptions, do not be afraid to self-assemble the deflector windshield. Just clearly and carefully perform all stages of the process, not deviating from the instructions and observing all recommendations. In this case, the success of Your venture is guaranteed.
