Retrofitting- Black Sports Sun Visor Panel

[Lachssilber_Senior]

Does anyone have experience of retro-fitting a black sport sun visor panel?

I’ve just recently fitted a black leather sports interior and the black sports visor panel completes the trim.

The A pillar covers seem to be a slightly different shape to accommodate the panel than the standard ones and the manual roof winder seems to have a deeper inset to accommodate the turning mechanism.

Do I need to source A pillar covers from a sport as well as the winder mechanism?

If any one has any experience of fitting one of these any advice would be much appreciated!

you need the a pillar covers from any car with an overhead sun-visor panel .

Thanks guys! I’d sort of figured that out by the time I’d offered it up.

How about the manual sunroof winder?

It seems to need a deeper inset plastic surround fixture and possibly a longer turning mechanism?

can't say i've noticed a difference but i do have a manual s/roof turd in the bone yard with visor panel and winder fitted.

Ah nice one! It seems that with the standard one it fits flush with the head lining and obviously once the visor panel is in there’s about an inch or so difference.

So longer screws need to be applied and then once fitted there isn’t enough clearance to use the sun roof crank as it’s set too far back.

Any chance I could take the A pillar covers and winder crank?

Or at least investigate the fitting and take the A pillar covers if I turn out to be wrong?
