I would assume two sided tape came with it correct? If so just make sure to clean the area with adhesion promoter (i used alcohol) then test fit it, then peel and stick. Make sure to press it down firmly and not drive for ~24 hours

No directions provided? Most of the quarter window louvers come with double-sided tape already attached to the louvers. All you need to do with them is prep the glass*, peel the paper off the tape and mount them to the windows.

*prep the glass with 90% or better alcohol (NOT regular rubbing alcohol) or a good solvent from an auto parts store. Install the louvers at ambient temps as close as possible to the range of 60 and 80 degrees, preferably in the shade. Allow to cure for 24 hours by allowing the car to sit.

My louvers have been in place for 2 years and over 27,000 miles including speeds over 110 MPH. They're still as solid as the day they were installed.

I had the DG louvers on my car at 1 time and they come with 2 sided tape already installed. Just make sure the glass is clean and over 70 degrees and they will be on there!

I've been thinking about getting these louvers but my dad keeps bugging me to keep them removable. And since they have no screw holes or other type of mounting hardware, that is difficult. One can use marine velcro type stuff I forgot the name of it exactly or I figure you may be able to craft your own slot type system so you can slide them on and off the glass. But either way would be easy to get them stolen though. So yeah everyone's usually just using automotive tape to put them on the car.

Roush makes ones that have some hardware and screws but the style isn't as good as these.
