Most you folks with convertibles keep or remove the sun visors? Thinking about doing without.

I have done this both ways and for a reason. I don't have one. The 68`s are off and the 62`s is on. :o

I have mine on. Usually flip them up when the top is down, don't know why.

Why would anybody not use them?

I miss them terribly in my '58, wish they were stock then. I wouldn't think of taking out the ones in the '69.

I have 'em and use 'em on my 69.
I've noticed I can also use them to direct a little cool air into the car, kind of like the old vent windows - another good reason to put them back on.

I flip them up and use them as a wind deflector to keep the breeze off my head
