I also bought some E Body convertible latch catch plates offof the same auction website that had the sunvisor rods and hardware. Now all I have to buy is the rubber tips but it looks like I'm missing something. Does anybody know how the rubber tips attach to the sunvisors? Are the rods I have too short?

The rods the rubber tips go on are short, and go in from the rearview mirror end. I'll look as I have some ratty visors. I may be able to snap pics.

When I bought my Barracuda convertible it was missing the sunvisors. I'm trying to put some sunvisors back on it.

Find any old mopar convertible with visors that have disintegrated and pull out the pins. I bet they are the same. I'll dig thru my stuff. Had a set of C-body convertible visors a while back. I'll try to find them to see. Vert > [img]http://i.imgur.com/JHXmM.jpg[/img]71 Barracuda vert[/url] \| Hemi idling on dyno \| Hemi Dyno pull
