Sun visor for 85 Subaru?

[Guy Macon]

The sun visor for my 1895 Subaru GL 4x4 wagon broke, and Subaru
no longer carries replacements. Does anyone know where I can find
one? The car is gray with blue interior, but I would rather have
wrong color than no visor.

If someone finds one I will be glad to send $$ for you to buy it
and ship it to the OC.

I've got an '84 with the blue interior, the interiors should
all be the same from '81-85. I'll go check to see if the visor
is still on it, and if it is you can have it for shipping
costs.

Drop me an email to my address below so I can have a reminder.
It will be Monday or Tuesday before I can get to where the
car is.

Hi Guy!

The sun visor for my 1895

Wow! Vintage 4sure ;-)

Is it broken, or just "floppy"? I usually put a sheetmetal screw thru
the metal clip thingie that provides friction between the visor and
the rod it hangs from to cure the floppy problem; some folks use bits
of self-stick velcro tape between the visor and head liner. If you
have a broken mount, tho, you'll need to find another. Alas, I just
tossed a set of these a couple weeks ago while cleaning out the
garage. I'll look and see if I have anything else that might work, but
I'm not hopeful. Try a local scrap-yard, or a post on the Ultimate
Subaru Message Board, <http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/forum/>.
Finally, I think you can swap 'em left to right if necessary to at
least have one on the drivers side.

ByeBye! S.

Just starting to get broken in...

It is entirely busted. The plastic inside disintigrated.

BTW, a small hose clamp works great to fix loose visors.

AAAARGHH!

It's the passenger side that went bad, but I think I can make either
kind work. Will try the Ultimate Subaru Message Board.
