    I don't know how many other models use the same pivot pins for the sun visors but I have replaced several on my GT4. The problem is the pin in the plastic part loosens, as with the black part in the photo, and the visor will not stay up. Or the part breaks at the thin section and can't be secured, like the white part. I have replaced them as they failed with original parts only to have them fail. I solved the problem by making my own pivots with a more stable pin. If anyone else is having this problem I can make more as well as other pieces such as knobs or switch handles, I have been molding these also.

    Do you know if the Mondial used the same part? My driver's sun visor is loose.

    Nice work.

    If the 308 uses the same part I'll need some and PM you.

    I don't know what other models these pins will fit. The dimensions between holes is aprox. 19 mm or .75 inch. The pin dia is about 5mm or .194. The part I have made uses a .185 pin with a split brass bushing to improve the grip to the pin. The photo shows the parts and a sketch if that helps, along with a shot installed on the visor. Small silly, part but irritating when they droop.
