fendervg 29 Posted April 26, 2011 Well said.... For the perfectionists among you, you can swap over the longer and narrower visor part from the newer version into the older mounting bracket by removing and refitting the spring retainer, and it will fit the later cars perfectly without catching the mirror. I've just checked this seeing as I have the two different ones to hand. Bit of a waste though, unless you can find them in a breakers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIMONG 0 Posted May 1, 2011 an F'reg passat estate "non sunroof" model came in to work for scrap, so naturally the rear door handles and mechs came off! but the sunvisors have an extra piece built in, which when down go over the top of the mirror. does any one know if these will fit? the only downside is the the passenger side mirror is not illuminated.

That's the one, you could move the mirror down a bit but tbh I like it touching the top rather than having a gap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 7 Posted May 7, 2011 There's a middle visor on Lupos, anybody checked that one out ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted May 8, 2011 Here's a comparison shot of the two sunvisors - as you can see the later one is narrower, and will clear the mirror on facelift cars, the wider one will clear the mirror on pre-facelift ones. If you want to adapt the mount from the earlier one, you will need to carefully widen the cutout by a few mm to make it fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted May 8, 2011 can it be fitted to an early non-sunroof corrado? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted May 8, 2011 Not sure for certain - I think they rely on a sunroof motor cover, and it's the early visor you want - maybe someone with G60 or a 16V can help to confirm ? I only have my 93 VR facelift to check against. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 8, 2011 non sunroof corrado doesn't have a mounting point as there's only the interior light fitted straight into the roof lining. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted May 8, 2011 so there's no way of doing this mod? :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIMONG 0 Posted May 8, 2011 with the longer style one (im guessing 97/98 onwards passat), does it fowl the normal visors when they are down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 29 Posted May 8, 2011 It sits ahead of them when down - when it's up the normal visors wont't sit all the way up against the screen, but only by a little bit - but I guess if it's sunny you'd probably have all three down anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted May 8, 2011 Mine was from a 98 Passat and its fitted to the windscreen strip with no fowling of the mirror. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIMONG 0 Posted May 9, 2011 it doesnt really look that much longer when on. i might keep an eye out for one of those types also. whats it like fitting in to the sunroof strip? is it a bit fiddley? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted May 9, 2011 Fits very easily when using superglue, thats what I used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted June 18, 2011 I've now got hold of another visor the same as the one I've fitted to mine, if anyone wants it, then pm me and make a nice donation to the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
