how many have removed sunvisors?

Hey everyone. I removed my sunvisors today to fix the mirrors which have come unattached and was planning on eventually re-installing them, but am kinda liking the look now (more windshield). I'll just make sure to keep my dark sunglasses handy on extra sunny days

. Its cool at least for now, plus no noise when the top is off and I reach high speeds.

Just curious though- how many of you out there have removed the sunvisors and just left them off for good?

Also- any ideas on how I can re-attach the folding-mirror part to the visor? that is what has come apart on BOTH visors (and used to swing down hanging by the electrical wire while blocking my view or almost hitting me while driving). Thanks

Anthony

Took mine off and covered the hole with a felt sticky*. Now I don't have to keep moving them out of the way to get at the latches for the top.

* like this, cut to size

i took mine off as well. I'm 6'4" and enjoy the bigger view through the windshield. I had to leave the wife's on though.. so she can check her makeup.

i removed them in my c4 too, that was an even bigger difference.

I removed them and made a custom visorless trim panel to make it look OEM.

I yanked those off. Looks a lot better without them.

I still have my sunvisors on the car - comes in handy when trying to block the sun out of my eyes.

I do have a file that shows one method of reattaching the vanity mirror to the sunvisor - not sure if it is what will fix your issue but if you would like to have a copy, just PM me your e-mail address.

I also removed the knee bolster, radio bezel, column surround and turn signal and light stalks because they were in my way and I've punched a few dents in my door panels to make it more roomy

Never thought about it but its a great idea. I am always moving them to give me more room to see and I keep sunglasses handy anyway.

The visors are also good for holding the sun screens that shade the interior.

Dang funny right there.

I took out the passenger seat so my wife would stay at home.
