3g sun visor on a 2g

Hi guys. Just wondering if the sun visor from a 3g will fit a 2g?
It was missing one when i got the car and i currently have the passenger visor on my side which looks silly :L

I've seen one on ebay and they look virtually the same

Cheers
Rob

its all down to the shape of the door buddy is there no 3g's near you to compare? the doors do look the same to me

Think he means flip down sun visor Merc, not a door wind deflector

As Merc says though Rob, best get in contact with a 3rd genner near you to compare them side by side. @CrunchyAdams82 is near you isn't he?

I'm about an hour away from him Nath. So not just down the road, but not too far either I guess.

I assume this is the one on eBay. Looks a bit scabby, but looks like it can be bought for under a tenner. Not too much to lose if it doesn't fit..

May just be worth a punt anyway.

Or we could meet up sometime to check it out.

For ten quid, he may as well take a punt. it'll cost that much in petrol these days just to hook up. Rob, i'll go check H.x W. x D. of mine for you and post back gimme 10 mins.

With the visor in the pivoted down position, Length at top = 410mm Length at bottom = 340mm Height = 150mm Top left corner to centre of pivot aperture 100mm. I haven't got my micrometer to hand, but guess the thickness is approx. 10mm. The reason for the differing lengths is the 3 g visor has a dogleg profile, which I believe is standard for most visors Hope this helps

Glad to be of assistance, hope you've put your mind at rest re: oil viscosities as well. You might like to try Hondaboy as well. I've bought a few 3g parts from him recently, and he's very knowledgeable and may have spare visors as well.

Visors turned up and its exactly the same!

Doesn't look as bad as the pics made out, just a small clean and buy some more screws and it'll be in.

Yeah, oil stuffs all sorted, couldn't do it today so that will have to wait till Sunday now

I might have to ask him about bits and bobs then :L
Cheers
