Sun Visor Mounting Bracket Hardware
Getting screws done for the Blazer /Jimmy sun visor mounting bracket to windshield frame and from sun visor mounting bracket to top. We want to make sure to get this right so looking for feedback
4- Sun visor Phillips Head Screws = 5/16-18 X ? with .50 diameter head So for above we need the measurement from top beveled edge of screw head to threaded end? Everyone posts the screw is 3/4" long, so what we need to know is the 3/4" everyone is referring to the threaded length? Because then actual screw length = 1", if the threaded length is 9/16" then the screws are 3/4" length. The manufacturers go from bevel edge to thread end and we suspect everyone is posting the threaded length. We also assume most would prefer the sin visor brackets to top screws be included in kit. Whats everyone's opinion on this or should it be in the top mounting kit we'll be putting together? Then we see a lot of posting about the sun visor bracket to top fastener being a hex bolt but our research shows it was a 2 1/2" long 5/16"-18 Phillips head machine screw. So can anyone else confirm this real world?? If so could you measure the head diameter so we get the correct width head? We will be doing all of these in stainless steel. We’ll also be putting together the removable top mounting kit and may need a little clarification on a few items in it which I’ll post separate about. Paul Jr @ GMCPauls |

Re: Sun Visor Mounting Bracket Hardware
I can get you measurements or send you a bolt and you can keep it as long as you need it.
Top to visor fastener, I believe is a hex bolt. I've parted about 15 blazers in the last 5 years and none have had Phillips head fasteners for that position. |

Re: Sun Visor Mounting Bracket Hardware
1rippen6 a measurement of threads and from top bevel edge to end of visor mounting screw would suffice. In regards to the bolt is it with or without flat washer and washer diameter and is it a SEMS captured washer bolt or a loose washer?
Your help is greatly appreciated in getting this correct. Between GM Master Parts manual, assembly manual and what we are seeing 1st hand and then reading owners posts on these we've been getting a lot of conflicting information. Thanks again for your help!! Paul Jr @ GMCPauls |

Visor to top bolt is 5/16 and standard lock washer. Everyone had Rockford embossed in the top.

Re: Sun Visor Mounting Bracket Hardware
Visor to windshield, if you need any other measurements let me know. They maybe a hair off from not taking them straight.

Re: Sun Visor Mounting Bracket Hardware
A board member found a company offering a stainless steel option that is close. I know they are cutting the head and polishing them so you maybe able to have them cut to a different dimension and possibly lenght.
