Sunvisors for older models

[celsupra]

Hi

This may be a dumb question but does anyone know if you can get sunvisors for older cars i.e. 83 celica.

the st18* celica ones are a fairly close match for size etc.

Ask in the wanted section there could be someone with spare parts for that model, thats your best bet

[deaf_rattle]

they are all crap.
very very hard to find any in good cond.
better off to modify newer ones....

[NZcelica]

yip, all of them seem to dis-colour and sag and turn out pretty ugly. Would be keen to find out what you guys come up with

[nmemr2]

it wouldnt be difficult or expensive to recover them in an unfaded new material.
as for the sagging, im at a loss,

Spoke to an upholstery guy today and he said that you can get a sleeve made up for them which isn't to expensive but doesn't look as good as the original.

Still best bet is to find something from a wreckers. Although one thing I found out is that one of the connections is adjustable. This should it make it easier to find a replacement from an later model car.

If you go to a wrecker with a sample (complete with mounting arm), they may let you go through their stock. I did this at Pick-a-part as well as Spartan (beware their prices) and ended up with a couple of vinyl sunvisors from a Soarer, I think....

They fit and don't seem to suffer the "crumble" the Supra ones were plagued with.

I'll check out the pair in my RA60, if they're any good would you be interested?

Yes I would be if they are in good condition and the right color.

I have replaced the headliner in mine so it is now black. So I really need some that are a dark color.

- Hey Dave what model soarer did you get yours from?

what model soarer did you get yours from?

Not sure - they were already out of the car when handed to me....
The innards of the Celica/Supra items were only foam on the wire frame, but later visors had foam over a cardboard inner/wire frame.

I'd check along the lines of mid 80's onwards - I had thought of playing with a sunvisor from something like a 1990's Corolla.
