    Raj:

    That garage looks familar. Glad you got it. I think it's possible to make a bracket that would use the orginal sun visor holes. I would get some steel hangers with the holes in them that they use to hang garage door openers and play around with a vise and a hack saw.

    Regards.

    Raj, These things are great. I think I've had this Wink since '69 or '70, and in dozens of cars. Notice the curved end panels to fit the roofline. It's a period piece. You can see everything, even out the driver and passenger windows. I made my own brackets using 1/2 x 1/8 steel. It's possible to roll the windshield gasket down a little and tuck a small bracket in there to hide the screws (don't screw through the roof!). Sorry for the crappy photos-
