1. Product Overview
These window visors, also known as rain guards or vent deflectors, are designed specifically for the Geely Global Eagle EX3 models from 2018 to 2022. They are manufactured from high-impact acrylic, offering UV and scratch resistance, and are optically transparent. The primary function of these visors is to enhance your driving experience by allowing fresh air circulation while minimizing wind noise and preventing rain intrusion.
The aerodynamic design helps to reduce drag and optimize airflow within the vehicle, contributing to a more comfortable cabin environment. They are installed using automotive-grade adhesive tape, requiring no drilling or special hardware.

2. Features
- Aerodynamic Design: Engineered to reduce drag, optimize airflow, and minimize wind noise within the vehicle. The 45° golden guide surface effectively reduces the drag coefficient and improves high-speed driving stability by reducing crosswind interference.
- High-Quality Material: Constructed from high-impact, UV and scratch-resistant acrylic for durability and optical clarity.
- All-Season Benefits: Facilitates fresh air circulation, minimizes window fogging, and protects the interior from water intrusion during rain. Helps to sweep away stale odors from pets, smoking, or athletic gear.
- Reduced Glare: Can help reduce glare during night driving.
- Perfect Fit: Precision-engineered for Geely Global Eagle EX3 (2018-2022) models, ensuring a snug and secure fit.

3. Installation (Setup)
Follow these steps for proper installation to ensure optimal adhesion and performance. No drilling or special hardware is required.
- Clean the Installation Area: Thoroughly clean the surface where the visors will be applied. Ensure it is completely dry and free of dust, dirt, wax, or any other foreign matter. A clean surface is crucial for strong adhesion.
- Compare and Align: Before removing the adhesive backing, carefully align each visor to its intended window position. This step helps prevent twisting or misplacement during the actual application.
- Prepare Adhesive Tape: Peel back a short length of the red 3M automotive-grade adhesive tape liner from one end of the visor. Do not remove the entire liner yet.
- Align and Start Installation: Carefully align the visor to the window frame, ensuring it sits correctly. Once aligned, press the exposed adhesive end firmly onto the surface. Gradually peel off the remaining tape liner while continuously pressing the visor firmly along its entire length.
- Apply Firm Pressure: After the visor is fully in place, apply firm and even pressure along the entire length of the visor for at least 2 minutes, paying special attention to the edges. This ensures maximum contact and adhesion.
- Curing Time: Do not expose the installed visors to water or moisture for at least 72 hours after installation. This allows the adhesive to fully cure and achieve its maximum bonding strength. Failure to observe this curing time may lead to the visors detaching.

4. Operating (Usage)
Once installed, these window visors enhance your driving experience in various scenarios:
- Natural Ventilation: Maintain natural ventilation in your vehicle, even during light rain or when parked, without worrying about water entering the cabin.
- Rainy Conditions: During heavy rain, you can still open your windows by approximately 5 cm (2 inches) to allow fresh air in and prevent fogging, while keeping the rain out.
- Long-Distance Driving: The aerodynamic design helps reduce wind noise, contributing to a more relaxed and less fatiguing long-distance cruising experience.
- Urban Commuting: Helps to block external exhaust odors and maintain a continuous flow of fresh air within the cabin during urban commutes.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your window visors, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the visors regularly with mild soap and water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the acrylic material and its UV protective coating.
- Inspect Adhesion: Periodically check the adhesion along the edges of the visors to ensure they remain securely attached.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your window visors, consider the following:
- Visor Detachment: If a visor begins to detach, it is likely due to improper surface preparation or insufficient curing time during installation. Re-clean the area thoroughly, apply new automotive-grade adhesive tape, and ensure the 72-hour curing period is observed without moisture exposure.
- Excessive Wind Noise: While designed to reduce wind noise, ensure the visors are correctly seated and not loose. Check for any gaps between the visor and the window frame.
For persistent issues or further assistance, please contact the manufacturer or seller.
