Car I just bought has dzus tabs on for the side visors, but I will not be using the tabs and will be zip tying them on.

This is my point, The side panel, side skirt and side visor on the drivers side, one piece and impossible to get into our out of the drivers side. We've seen that for several years on the right side. But like that incident last night, The fire can't be fought from the top even if it lands or stops on it's wheels. And the driver needs a second way out if it lands upside down with fuel, scalding water or oil pouring on him/her.

Not much on the zip tie Idea either, but I get it. They may last a couple nights on a visor but vibration and forces will cause the part to actually cut them. Im not actually talking about a side visor.
