i bought a pair of rainguards for my 2000 ex coupe off ebay designed for this model car.

i am having a couple issues installing them though.

do they go all the way from the rear off the door and leave a gap about 1-1/2" between front mirror or do they atach right at the morror and just end directly past the glass?

also, on each door is this thing that is in the way of where the guards are suppose to attach. is it on the front side of the door up near the top?? what are these things and how do you bypass them?
