  thanks.

  you mean those that one stick over the top of the car door, so that you can keep the window slightly winded down?
  
  most of these car accessories use 3M VHB (very high bond) tape. same tape that holds up the In-Car Unit under the windscreen above the dashboard.
  
  very strong.

  Yup, in addition, the visors are very light.. so no problem sticking.

  If you use the right glue, I guess it should last.
  
  Just to share with you my experience while driving along the NS highway during Dec 06:
  
  There was this old Proton driving along the left lane travelling at around 110kmh. I hv just overtaken a truck and went into the space between the truck and the Proton. Without warning, something flew out of from the Proton in front onto the right most lane. Luckily, I had shifted in right behind him and was not hit.
  
  When I glanced at my rear-view mirror, I realised that this guy had lost 1 of his window visors. This was probably a DIY job using glue that is quite weak or worn out.
  
  Lesson learnt: do use the right glue and clean the area properly first else your visor is going to be a missile to somebody's car.

  $30 is quite cheap.
  
  glue? most people use strong 3M double sided tape

  be very careful here.... the proper term is VHB or Very High Bond tape.
  
  Double sided tape can be misconstrued as the thin scotchtape type with glue on both side... this type cannot.
  
  Most auto parts I'd seen will state that they are using VHB. The liner of the tape should also state that it is 3M brand.
