Anyone bought visors that hang way low on end?
I've bought sun visor brackets that are bent incorrectly to where they hang way too low on outer ends. When folded 'up and away' , the ends droop into the [center of windshield] driver's view and look "tired" and worn out. When folded down to maximize shading, the end leaves a sideways "vee" that is unblocked and unshaded and again tired looking. When folded to block sun from the side glass, the end toward rear of cab sags and allows unwanted light to pass thru the "sideways vee".
I've contacted supplier, but they are requiring a picture of it hanging in its incorrect positions--this I don't wish to re-construct, as my friction-fit visor-pad has already loosened up due to being slid on and off the rod several times. It would help greatly if someone has received such an improperly-bent bracket rod, esp. from this same vendor. Even better would be a picture of it hanging inappropriately. Also, I'd like to know from whom you purchased yours--hoping to match up the pic AND the incorrect bracket coming from the same vendor. Mine is a 1966; I ordered one earlier and had it a long time before installing it; so I ate that one. This recent one, I just received from another vendor and installed it immediately, only to find it too does not fit due to identical problem. Tried both on pass. side [NOT the side I ordered it for, suspecting a mere mix up on sides], and it is definitely made for the correct, driver's side, just dimensionally incorrect. If the rod were held into the screw bracket with a screw, I could remove the rod, chuck into a vise, bend to proper angle, re-assemble, and be done. But, it is staked with a rivet-like, one-shot fastener--so, no 2nd chances on this design! Thanks to any one who can help me get a deserved refund on this practically useless steel apparatus. BTW: The materials look plenty beefy & well-built with exception of a cadmium(vs. chrome--so stated in ad)finish AND lack of fit. Sam |
