So i just received my rainguards from Trigg. They look really nice, so i decided to test fit today. I'll try to describe the problem as best as i can. So the rainguard lines up nicely until you get to the end of it by the mirror. I thought that the rainguard is suppose to kind of taper off near the mirror? Instead, the rainguard actually covers some of the side mirror. Am i missing something here? I thought the jdm rainguards are suppose to fit with no problems? Is it because i don't have jdm mirrors? The rear visors line up perfectly, no problems. Its just the front that doesn't look right...any ideas?

The clips go in the window track and snap in to place on the extensions of the visor but I used double sided tape instead, better that way.

No they dont only work with JDM mirrors, they are supposed to be that way. No matter what mirrors you use, it will overlap.

Here are mine

Big difference actually. The USDM ones are black and are really wide like the ones you would see on a truck. The JDMs are clear, say Mitsubishi on them and are low profile, slick.
