My question is how are they attached to the rearview mirror? Does it have tips like a hardtop and if it does is there a rod that the tips attach to? I need to know what to order? Thank you

Hardtop visors have a rod that goes all the way through the visor, then the soft tip. Vert visors are not as wide (front/back) and have a separate, partial rod that goes in the end that latches into the mirror. Those rods use the same rubber sunvisor tips as hardtop. If I can get my laptop to connect in cottage country, I'll post up some pictures of the vert rods.

I don't use 'em at all and the cars have a "cleaner" look without them. Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".

And yes AFAIK they are original - the visors are the short vert ones and it has the usual centre clip etc..

FWIW these were out of a '70 and it strikes me that they could easily be pushed into the depths of the visor, never to be seen again. Perhaps for '71 they upgraded to a longer rod which would butt against the pivot rod.
