Topic: Sun Blockers

[Arabas]

in the GT, the driver's sun blocker has a mirror, while the passenger's doesn't have one.
is that so in all kappas?
if yes, has anyone tried to unscrew the driver's sun blocker and put it in the passenger's side?
are these two the exact same size and will fit one to the other's place?
i believe these only use one torx screw to get attached to their place.

and Kelu, yes, all girls that got into my GT complained about this... 

[Go-N Def]

Its the same on the Solstice.

I recall a discussion about this a few years ago.  If i remember correctly, they were not interchangeable due to a fitment issue...

[Helios]

Yes, it's that way in all Kappas. Switching visors from side to side can be done, but they dont sit flush to the molding as they are supposed to.

When the girls complain about it, just tell them they are beautiful. At least thats what i do.

[Kelu]

Arab: All girls like your fiancee and your sister?  
I confirm this, same in my GT, I received complaints too but I won't modify my car because some girls are complaining, what if they complain that my car should be pink?   I will sent them to Arab  

[Arabas]

damn.... i was hoping they would be interchangeable and fit perfectly! but even kappas are not perfect 
it was worth asking you this question guys before i try this myself and get dissapointed..

thx a lot for the quick replies!

Kelu, today i will paint my GT pink and add a huge mirror in the passenger's visor. send ALL Romanina girls to me. thx!

Helios i used that too, but it seems Greek girls are not romantic...all i got was   

[Kelu]

I get Romanian girls without painting my car in pink.

[Go-N Def]

Maybe, but it costs more!

[Critterman]

Arabas - go to your local autozone and by a clip on mirror for that side........opps you don't have an autozone.    do you have car accessory stores?

or online, something like this:  http://www.amazon.com/Bell-430-Rectangular-Visor-Mirror/dp/B000FW2MCC

[Kelu]

Maybe, but it costs more!

They charge double if you are a foreigner 

[Arabas]

Maybe, but it costs more!

 
Go-N Def, 

Critterman, car accessory stores???? what are these??? what do they sell??? no, we don't have any of these.. ALL our stores here sell ONLY ouzo, feta cheese and  olive oil...
OK, i like the product you found for me, pls send it along with the new MAF you wanted to ship to me

The rumor is that because it was a woman that designed the interior, she only put the mirror in for the driver!  :WTF:?

And yes they won't fit when switched... because  (your going to like this)...  they are... MIRROR-IMAGES of each other! 

[Arabas]

TomatoSoup  maybe they are MIRROR (NOT)-IMAGES of each other!!
btw, the woman that designed the interior is Greek-American named Vicki Vlachakis (quite typical name around here) !

now, what Romania has offered to us Kappa-guys??? heh Kelu?? what?

[Critterman]

Arabas, I will send it to the airport, it will be there when you fly in.

If I remember correctly, the sun visors (that's what we call them in the States) were sourced from some European GM affiliate (Saab?) that was right hand drive.

So, originally, the mirror was in front of the passenger.

Hadn't heard that, and very much doubt it anyway.  The only right hand drive GM affiliate is Vauxhall (UK) and all their cars are versions of Opels.

I have thought for a long while but have never gotten a chance to try, that a fold down mirror would serve two purposes since these sun blockers are far too shallow for some conditions, haveing an extension would be a great after market mod, having that extension double as a mirror would be brilliant

[reedred]

My first Sky had the visors on the wrong sides from the factory.  I noticed the poor fit one day and had them fixed.  From that point on, I've told any passenger who asked not to worry about it since if they didn't look good enough I wouldn't have let them into my car.

[KWhale]

Perris, you must be a midget or something!  

When I'm sitting in the car and put the sun visor down, it completely blocks my view of the road!  An extender would block my view of the dashboard 

I've never used my sun visors....They are called sun glasses and sun screen!

[duramax]

I can barely see under the windshield frame when they are up. I don't know why they even bothered.

[Critterman]

They made them exclusively for Chuck and Elff, and now it looks like Perris might be in the same group.

[MARVIC 1]

Kappasphere.com (SKY Section) they sell a mirror that fits the passenger side sun visor..

[Gentleman Jack]

how nice for the Sky!

[DeepBlueGXP]

That mirror works on either kappas, it's just the sky folks that need them

[reedred]

  'Cause Solstice peeps have all given up on looking good?

[MARVIC 1]

That's why I posted that message, it will fit the Solstice also just that its in the SKY section of the Web-Site.

  how nice for the Sky!

I sure is.... 
NOW you can jump on the BAND WAGON TOO!
