visor supports

Do all third gen sunvisor supports work on convertibles or do they have to be for TTops?

Sunvisor Supports?

ARe you talking about the Spring with the Arm that goes into the visor itself? Those I want to think are the same for all 3rd Gens. The Visor is obviously different from the T-top to the Hard top. The T-top and Convertible uses the same Visor.

Re: visor supports

The springy thingos that mount to the car with the sharp bits that stick into the visor. Im sure the visors are different not sure about those thingos.

Interesting. I'd think that they were the same (doesn't sound like GM to make them different). Any chance that you can verify one way or another?

Re: visor supports

If you compare them the t top visor mounts are triangular where as the coupe visor mounts have a flat edge.Thats why I say they are different

Re: visor supports

You'll need the sunvisor base from a GM F-Body t-top car.
