Re: interior sun visors

I used stock repros; they have a gap in the center to allow room for the rear view mirror. That's one of my pet peeves with ALL cars - the visors are too short to cover all the window. I once drove a Ford cabover semi that had THREE visors across the windshield to cover it all (semis have no interior rearview mirrors). I suppose you could have an upholstery shop extend the stock ones to your desired length - but then every time you lower them you'll hit your mirror.

Re: interior sun visors

I have seen some guys using something from a newer vehicle with the slide out extension on the end. when you use it on the side window it sure helps.
could the arm for the mirror be lowered to accommodate a lower mirror or would that just look dumb?

Re: interior sun visors

one of the old trucks I had, the previous owner had screwed the rear view to the dash. maybe that's why. it had different sunvisors too.
