Perry Spring made me a visor (really nice work!) and I'm trying to install it but have run into an issue that Perry hasn't encountered until me...
My car has the extra chrome trim around the windshield. The brackets that clamp into/onto the rain gutter won't mount properly because that chrome piece doesn't allow it to go in far enough.
I took one of the chrome pieces off, and the bracket fits perfectly.
I want to leave the chrome on the car, and see pictures on the Internet of other cars with visors that have the chrome trim.
Is there something simple I'm missing, or do I need to re-bend the bracket, or fashion a different one to allow the chrome trim to stay?

I didn't tell Perry, as he made my brackets (not visor). I had to re-bend mine a little to get them to work properly. You need to do the same or you'll lose it on the highway. Not fun. It's important that your bracket mounts correctly.
Thank you Russell!

I've managed to get the brackets adjusted enough to get the visor mounted temporarily at the rain gutters, but am now having an issue with the center mount...
The directions say the bracket should be wedged between the rubber and the chrome trim.
I have rubber, chrome trim, then another piece of chrome trim over that. The brackets shape will only allow it to be wedged between the top chrome trim and bottom chrome trim, not lower where the rubber and trim meet.
Does the Hollywood, and maybe the convertible have extra trim over the windshield divider strip?
Rob
Picture, please?
Russ,
Never mind...but thank you.
I had to use my welding clamp to squeeze the bracket into the rubber enough to start an extra long bolt before getting it all close together so I could bolt it together, quite a process!

That makes sense. The job was made harder because of the outside metal divider. Never seen one of those before, that I can remember.
