Visor Clip

[bigalpha]

My visor clip that holds the visor (it's located above the rear view mirror) is broke.

Is this an MJ specific part?

I dunno but mine is broke too and I still haven't found a replacement yet.

Post a pic, someone could likely point you in the right direction

My 87 cherokee came with that same style, ill dig around and see if I still have em.
Ditched the factory visors, and used some out of a new suburban.

How do the new suburban ones fit? any modding to install?

 

[souske]

Its some work to get em in, as they use a square-ish hole in the roof to mount, and a plastic pushpin to to expand the mounting feet inside the hole. I cut some 13ga al. Sheet to fiit the feet tightly, cut a slightly oversize hole in the overhead, then riveted the al. Feet to the overhead. Bit of a tight squeeze with the cage, but having the extenders and extra flap is so nice.

 

[bigalpha]

Ah. Guess it's not too easy to retrofit the flaps onto the xj mounting hardware?

Seems awesome but maybe more than I was looking to do.

Ok, well I went through my parts pile, and my trash, it must have gone out with last weeks trash. Sorry, I guess that's the way it goes, save it for years, and pitch it a week before its needed.

No worries, thanks for checking.

Since it comes off an XJ, I feel better about replacing it.

I can't see the pics at work, what color is it?

I have a maroon one.

 

[bigalpha]

Tan (Butterscotch?)

A little accent color couldn't hurt, could it?

 

[souske]

If the color bothers you, the Krylon "fusion" for plastic spray cans work pretty good

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Bigalpha..... I'm pretty sure I have one in that color.

PM me your mailing address - if I have it, I'll send it.

I was at the yard this weekend. I thought that was an MJ specifi part so I grabbed on off an MJ I saw. Same color. Let me know if you want it.
