AMV8 Sun Visor

[uuf361]

Driving along happily yesterday (back to the dealer) the sun was out (a rare occurrence I know) and it was on my side.

Went to grab the sun visor from the front to the side to find it didn't move

Am I being thick (it's a distinct possibility) or is there no side visor

[ariel]

nope. deliberate omission, problem too hard to solve

[Lucozade]

Got 2 on mine, one on each side, work perfectly fine.

[bogie]

nope - no move to the side facility AFAIK

you ever seen a Brit sportscar with any sun visors recently ? Our TVR dosent have them, nor the Lotus ...i think they are trying to tell us something about our weather LOL

Related sun-visor query. We go to all the trouble of spec'ing our intereior to be colour co-ordinated - I have a lovely deep red alcantra headlining, with matching visors - and then some Euro bureau idiot decides that there has to be a sticker telling me there's an airbag ! I know there is !

These things are an eysore, on both visors, and are on the outside so they show all the time. Has anyone actually taken the bold step of removing them ? I live in fear of ripping one off and finding it leaves glue all over the alcantra

You'll find TVRs with V8 engines do have them

Yes I pulled them off as soon as I saw them and pleased to say they came off easily without leaving a mark or glue. Looks better in an instant!

OK, thanks for the encouragement. Here goes

Look carefully in Sag bogie, they are there. Granted they are about the width of a school ruler and thus not a whole lot of use, but hey... they tried

Oh well, will have to make sure the prescription sunnies are always to hand in the car then

LOL - that just shows how often Ive actually used it in sunny weather (its my other halfs primary car!)

I thought the Vantage ones were quite quaint ...and yes, the stickers got peeled off on day 1

They're off and in the bin. Fair amount of fluff attached but no damage or residue. Cheers

So can the sunvisors in your car wing around to the side windows? Or are they fixed to just shade the front windscreen?

1. He said that 14 years ago. I think you may have new a record for thread necro
2. I can say with confidence that his visors do not swing to the side in his Aston. He was being ironic
