Hi all,
I have a 67 coupe that I just got new Sunvisors for. The visors that were in the car were a short style I think maybe out of a second gen camaro or who knows what.... Thy did not have the metal part that reached the middle support over the rear view mirror to connect into it. So i got a set of 67 visors from Classic Industries to put in. My problem now is.. When i put them in they still come up about an inch short of reaching the center boot above the rear view mirror...?? Now after looking in the catalog I see that there is a different mirror support and boot for a 67 and one for 68 & 69. From what i can see is the one in my car is out of a 68 not a 67. I guess my question is... would a 67 mirror support and boot be wider so the visor would reach and catch in the boot http://www.camaros.org/forum/Smileys/default/huh.gif

I guess this is why the previous owner used a short style visor.. so he would have this problem... http://www.camaros.org/forum/Smileys/default/cry.gif

One other thing I tried to check out was on my friends 68, I measured from the edge of his head liner to the center of his outer support, and i come up with 4", now on my car i measure from the edge of the head liner to the center of my support and i come up with close to 3". This is the inch im coming up short. Im thinking maybe the ceter boot for a 67 is wider to make up the difference but maybe im wrong....
Is the outer sun visor supports in different location on a 67 and 68?
Any ideas?

thanks,
Charlie

...my first guess here is that there is a mix 'somewhere' with convertible vs. coupe visors. I know there is a difference, ...don't recall exactly (verts were shorter??).
As for the mounting point of the visor swivel end, ...I am not aware of it being different from '67 to '68. (the headliner trim could be different, ...thus giving you a different measurement, ..3" vs 4". The fact that the swivel joint has the spring that protrudes up into the roof area sort of minimizes the possibility of the visor being 'mis-mounted' as well.
The only other thought that comes to mind is that the three phillips screw mounting points could be 'turned' (oriented incorrectly) causing the visor not to reach the mirror mount.

I thought about the coupe and convt. visor beeing different, but from what I have read the coupe visor is Impala grain material to match the headliner. The convt. visor is Madrid grain material. The ones I have match my headliner and the sticker on the bag they were in did say 67 coupe. So if i go by those two things that seems to say they are the correct ones. I thought maybe it could be miss marked... but it seems to be the correct material for the coupe.

Ill have to take one of the mounts down tonight to see if i can change the position of it by turning it via the philips screw mounting points.

Does anyone know the measurements of the visors. Over all length of the coupe and over all length of the Convt. ?

I don't think the screws are symetrical (ie 120*apart) So I don't think you can install them wrong.

Hi all,
Im still stumped on my visor issue. I think my visor is the problem. Can anyone give me a measurement of a 67 Coupe sun visor from the outside of the left Pin to Pin to the outside of the right pin? please!!! The ones i just got measure 19 1/2 inches from pin to pin. I found a post on the net that said a 67 coupe was 20 7/8 from pin to pin. This would give me a difference of an inch and 3/8. Thats about what im short to get the center pin into the mirror boot.
Is it possible they sent me a convertable visor? I think they are not as long as the coupes.

Any mearsurements would help me a lot....
thanks,
Charlie

Charlie, I have only 69s to compare. pin to pin are Conv=20 3/8", coupe 21". I have plenty of old ratty 69 coupe visors laying around :(

Sounds like the repro visors are coming up a little short :D

Very funny! ;)

So I guess thats my problem, the repro visor is wrong. I guess the next step is to give Classic Industries a call and see what they say. I would hate to send them back and get another set just to find out they are wrong too...

Something so simple, and its turning out to be a pain in the butt! :sad:

mine are from C.I. and they measure 19 3/8" pin to pin and they fit correctly..
Good luck

So I emailed a tech guy at CI, and he tells me the 67 visors they have in stock are 19.5 inches. and the 69 visors they have are 21 inches.
It seems to be that i need to put a 69 visor in my 67 to make it reach the center boot.

The only thing i can come up with is the outer mounts are in the wrong spot:confused:
I sum this up to...........The joy of buying a 40 year old car and not knowing what other people have done to it in those 40 years! :D

Charlie, if you are close to Central NJ, I could send you some junk 69 Visors to see if they fit before getting them from CI.

Kevin, Thanks for the offer. :thumbsup: By the way im in Whitehouse Staion. I would think if yours measure 21 and according to the tech guy the 69's they have on the shelf at C.I. are 21 they should fit. Im still unsure why the 67's dont fit. But if i hold a tape measure up in my car it looks like 21 is the number i need.
Im gona cross my fingers and order the 69's and see what happens.
