simonpelly Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hi Folks, Fitted new headlining to my 1996 Defender 110 CSW 300Tdi However, after the refit, seems the sun visors now interfere with the rear view mirror when moving up and down. Please could you take a look at the attached image and double check I've fitted them in the correct orientation. Assuming that it is screw, retainer washer, washer, sun visor mount then headlining. Many Thanks, Simon... P.S. See article here if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 The visors happen to be upside down (e.g. wrong sides). The strip for holding documents is normally on the top side. Although I can't see how how swapping them over would change the interference with the mirror. Does the notch not clear the mirror because they swing too low or it overlaps sideways?

Fatboy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I think you have them on the wrong sides, thus the wrong way up. I'm sure I did this a while ago on a rebuild and when you take them off and adjust the hinges so that the document holding band is on the top side of the parked visor, it all works out correctly.

oneandtwo Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you use a bit of silicon spray on the sunroof rubber, it knocks in all the way around with a rubber mallet in approx 30 seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Fatboy is right; you have them the wrong way around (upside down and on the wrong sides). The diagonal map stowage strip should be on the top of the visors when folded up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonpelly Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks folks. Will have a play (swap) with them this evening and let you know how it goes. With respect to the sunroof rubber, interesting tip. Will bear that in mind in case ever need it down again. Really was trying to be perhaps overly gentle with it.
