Thread: Sun visor

This is the only supplier I know of, but I don't have actual experience. I think I'd like one, and I think they look good. Probably make it go faster too.

Thanks for that Don, but it's not the sort of sun visor I was thinking off....

I don't know what else to call the bloody things now.... They are light weight, fold out, silver on the outside, often held on with suction cups.....

Sun shade perhaps?

I have one for my Disco, and nearly everyone has them for their cars. Some brands fit better than others....

Phill,

Best option for what you are looking at is 4 of the individual ones meant for side windows sold at any of the motor factors (Supercheap etc)

The defender's screen is too small for any of the actual windscreen ones and I just use the slightly rectangular side window ones "upright" 2 each either side of the rear view mirror. They have a spring steel surround that fits perfectly between the top and bottom rubber and you can drop the visor down for extra "hold", but its not really necessary.

I find installing the 4 individual ones quicker and easier than fitting the other half's metallic "foil" type one to her Mazda sedan.

Cheers,

Lou

G'day Phill,

Have a bo peep at this website, I think it is what you are looking for but the price may be out of the young fella's Christmas budget. I am thinking of getting some and stumbled across them, for what you get and how they are made I think they are of value.

Check it out, let me know what you think.

G'Day Jeff,

Thanks for the link. They look like just the thing. I will give them a call Friday morning if I remember and find out how much for a windscreen one. Hopefully a windscreen one wont be too expensive.

As for the chrissy pressent, i was going to buy it for him and get him to wrap it and give it to me for Christmas. It was always going to be my money anyway. LOL 7 year olds don't usually have much money.

I will come up with some sort of story, where I haven't looked at it etc..... I suppose that will require some creativity......

I had a look at those window ones. I got 4 for the windscreen for now. they are black and absorbent. Once i have made up my mind, I will donate them to the windows if I get that other one.


Cheers,

Phill.

For the front, I bought a big one and cut it down to size.

The one I bought was winged, and the wings fit nicely for the first row side windows.

I had leftovers to cover the roof windows, but the second row and rear windows are still on the "to do" list

Well here's a market opportunity for someone to fill.

G'Day Gents,

I enquired about the cost of the windscreen visor (only), and was informed that it is $130. This is a tad expensive in my books, so I will probably just buy a large one from one of the cheap car parts stores, and cut it. As FeatherWeightDriver did.
I find it hard to think about modifying things sometimes.....

I was thinking that some duct tape would be ideal as cut edge protection.

Sometimes I would like some protection through the front door windows, but I don't know if it would be worth the hassel. I might get some of the little ones with the taper because they are so quick and easy to fit.


Cheers,

Phill.
