I could always lend you one to try then you can judge for yourself before you buy.

I have sun visors on my Sedan & Ute and about to fit one to the wagon... we find them really worthwhile on a sunny day given no A/C. There are some things to consider.... Anchoring the centre bracket can be a concern if you are not able to get behind the roof lining. Using self tappers into the roof steel can result in the bracket screws being ripped out under extreme conditions. This happened to one of the VIC cars while crossing the Nullabor to the WA Nationals. Nutserts or similar anchor nuts are recommended. The other thing I have found is that Tollway eTags need to be mounted on the bottom of the windscreen as the Sunvisor effects the ability of the eTag to connect. They often come up on Ebay and range form around $50 to $150 - just make sure the 2 side brackets are included. Cheers, Trevor_B Title: Re: Exterior Sun Visor Post by: NosFEratu on July 16, 2013, 02:09:38 PM You becoming an old man Stinky?

(right alongside the nodding dog with eyes that light up red when he applies the brakes :)) Title: Re: Exterior Sun Visor Post by: DN2168 on July 16, 2013, 04:08:11 PM Can I see a grey interior on the horizon?? :P

I HAVEN'T GOT A BOWLING HAT THANK YOU! >:( It's still on order, I've got a big bonce :P Title: Re: Exterior Sun Visor Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on July 16, 2013, 06:06:06 PM Can I see a grey interior on the horizon?? :P Not unless you want me to do one for your car ;D Anchoring the centre bracket can be a concern if you are not able to get behind the roof lining.

Thanks Trev, Rooflining is coming out so that's covered and we don't have tolls in SA (yet).
