Hi Scott, when your visors are open against the side doorwindows do your visors go straight out? I mean do they run parallel with the edge of the top or do they run down at an angle across the window? Tommy in Tampa</font>

And, if you still have the original plastic mounts, but rotted visors
(like I did), you can get a pair of the bus sunvisors for about $20 or
so, and they fit on the original metal rods just fine.

<font face="Arial" size="2">I seethat after some ware the visor would want to swing away from the windshield. The problem is, the mount point on the windshield is slanted inward. That means the visor shaft is pointing uphill. </font>
<font face="Arial" size="2"></font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">I think I'll just make a plexiglass wedge to raise the lower mounting edge and level the visor. That would also level the visor across the side window.</font>
