Visor mount; over or under trim?

roundeyed sqbdy · Jun 19, 2022

I have a 78 c10 with silverado trim.. well it’s going to have the trim. I bought a project with boxes of stuff including the interior. Almost done, putting up headliner trim, but concerned about fit of visor frame and headliner trim pieces.. which goes in first? Visor seems to smash into headliner trim.. hmmm

Again, I did not take it apart.

Looks great! When screwing the visor in.. does triangle clear the trim? Mine seems to hit it.

When I put my interior back in, the differance between lmc parts and factory were subtle, but caused frustration. I re drilled a bunch of trim holes to make it all fit correctly.

My visor mounts are under the trim, they went on first otherwise they'll smash the headliner trim.

Thanks.. visors and trim are original. Hope to avoid drilling!!

Yeah, you got to do the visors first unless you re-drill visor location holes but I think that is impossible as the visor arm stud & spring have a factory hole they need to recess into.

IIRC there was a thick padded spacer that went under the headliner where the visor mounts.

Good clue as to what my problem may be. Thank you.

All of my trucks have had the headliner trim slightly overlapping the sun visor mounts.

you have to move just a bit the viser triangle under the trim!

Got it! Visors first; trim looks a bit funky just laying over the triangle but who looks up there anyway?

Gotta add, the 67-72 series was much easier to redo an interior and add a/c.

Edge of visor will go over trim.

But it's not the correct way... Unless you're meaning the actual visor itself, then yes, it does rest on the trim piece.

Visor mount; over or under trim?
