Could someone do me a quick favor?
See title. I'm looking at replacing my droopy sun visors, and am kind of scouting around and seeing what is available, on other cars, aftermarket, etc. I don't want replacement Subaru ones, because the design sucks (as we are all aware). Trouble is, I don't have my car nearby, and need measurements of the visors to compare with products available online.
Soo...could someone run and quickly take visor measurements for me? I need the length (at the widest point), height, and thickness. All measurements should be done EXCLUDING brackets. The more accurate the better. In return, I will share anything that I find (if I find anything) with the forum in a later post Thanks in advance...

I ran out and took some measurements i took them quick but should be fairly accurate
At the top Its the widest at 14 7/8 inches Then it goes to 14 1/2 inches for the rest of the length Its 6 1/4 wide And 1/2 inch thick Hope That helps |

buy some new ones from Subaru like I did.
The new ones look right and work great. Any other rought would be a patch job. Had mine a couple of years and all is well. Keith |

Re: Could someone do me a quick favor?
The previous owner tried velcro...it tore the headliner fabric off I don't want to get more Subaru ones because of the design flaw in them (seems this happens to ALL SVX visors) - plus, new ones are expensive, and used ones are just waiting to break, IMO.
Worst case scenario, I'll try the droopy visor mod, but that seems kind of like a band-aid fix to me. I may end up going that route anyway, but I want to try to look for something else first
