Sun Visor

[boybach]

Hi Guys, picked up fiberglass sun visor today - it's a 2-piece affair, joins in the middle.

Looking around, I don't see 2-piece sun visors out there - just wondering if it was produced like this or did the PO cut it in half?

Sirum GMC sells a three piece unit to make it easier to ship. Maybe there was a two piece at one time or it was cut for the same reason.

I just found out this one came from Jim K at Applied.

Any advice on installation?

Jim will advise, just give him a shout.

Glassed it together after dry-fitting, looks good!

Now that you have dry fitted and before you do the final bolt-up, sand the underside with a 220 or so grit paper, use "Prepsol" or similiar to remove grease, apply a spray primer of some kind and paint the under side of the visor a flat black in color. Do that because at night, if the underside is white or a light color, it will reflect light from the front running lights into your eyes...a very distracting issue when driving at night. Not wanting to take the ceiling down to put large washers on the inside, I used "wing" bolts that flair out when pushed thru the hole from the outside, then expand like a wing on the inside. Between that and the 3M 5200, the visor hasn't moved at all since I did that. JWIT

It's already installed.
Underside is black and fastened with 3/4" stainless sheet metal fat robertsons and 5200 as per Jim K's recommendation/instructions.

From my experience in the marine world regarding 5200, it ain't going anywhere .

Oh good! I figured that all the hard way. Glad you didn't have to.
