Sunvisors with soft top?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Blazer had no sunvisors when I got it, soft top only. How can I put them back without a hard top???

They bolt into the windshield frame with 2 bolts. There's a 3rd that goes into the hard top, but you don't need to have it in. I'm still looking for the bolt size, so post back if you find them!

Ok... will look and see if the hole for the 3rd is a pass thru on the windshield fram, if so I will thread some stock and just use what I can find for it.

The 3rd is hole is verticle, so it doesn't go through the windshield frame at all.
I don't have a pic of my own, but found this one on the board. The holes circled in red go against the winshield frame. When it's mounted, the hole circled in blue will be straight up and down and lines up with a hole in the hard top. With a soft top, you probably just won't use the blue one at all...that's what everyone does with the top off at least.

Just to point it out, Blazers use different visors than the pickups.

I leave my visors on when running the soft top.

If you don't plan on running a hard top, you can use the truck/suburban visors.

Really?! I bought a set of truck visors and put them up and couldn't see how they lined up with the existing holes...that's when I found out blazers were different. Do you have to make new mounts?

I could be wrong but, I swear I've seen Blazers with truck visors in the past.

they bolt to the top of the windshield header, don't need the top mounted to install them...
