Hi All,
I've been told the 1968 sun visors are different to other years.
Does anyone know of some for sale or a supplier source?
Thanks, Richard

AFAIK (at least regarding '67 & '68) they have fixed pivots and came either solid black, solid white (grey?) or two-tone. Not sure if that's a Normal, T, or S thing, someone correct me please.
If you're lucky you might find decent originals, but all the usual suspects offer good though pricey reproductions.

Bottom line.........67 visors are "one year only" and 68 visors are also "one year only". I have posted pictures of all the different sunvisors and they can be found in the "search" function.

Thanks Jim, very helpful reply
I have I think a nice set for a coupe? One of the plastic mounts is broken and the mirror doesn’t seat properly. 125€ + additional costs

Those are 68 visors. Very friendly price, too. The beige plastic parts are NLA but can be substituted with later model black ones. A spray can of paint will make them look like the originals.Quote:

One more thought on 68 visors. From what I've learned here, very early 68 cars had 67 visors (non pivoting).

Don't think so. Point out an example and make me a believer.Quote:

- While the car is not original paint, etc... all the scratched glass and much of the trim which is tatty is still there and appears original.
- The rear view mirror in the car is beaten to hell, but is a '67 mirror, and the visors appear to be also '67 in similar condition.
I came close to buying '68 visors as my passenger visor has a hole as you may be able to see, only to discover "wait mine are different." I can't find the thread, but someone here with an early 68S had the same rear view mirror, and visors.
Thanks,
Scott

All,
Having started this thread I apologise for responding late.
My car is a US 1968 model and definitely has white/black sunvisors with white pivots at each corner.
Ideally I'm looking for a new set of sunvisors as my pivots are cracked.

Hi Richard,
I have a passager side Nos if you need.

I have a set with black pivots from a Karmann coupe. Driver side has a fracture on the seam. In the right hands could be nicely concealed. The passenger side with mirror is virtually perfect!?......
