Better sun visor?

It's about 25 cm (9.8") in a straight line and 26 cm hugging the contours. The visors will cover portions of the moonroof opening; I recall seeing this in a T4R thread before I started.

Removed the grab handle covers with a hook tool following this video and popped the handle off with a pocket screwdriver following this video. I used 1/4" Paulin P/N 843-673 toggle anchors, rated for 1080 lb (yeah right) and fairly cheap at Home Depot. I cut them shorter to fit better in the vehicle. Note the plastic anchor retainers "float". For a rigid grab handle install, looseness would be noticeable; you need to really torque down on the screws to take up the play, so don't use philips head screws. I used Paulin P/N 846-768 1/4"x1-1/2 robertson screws. (The OEM M6 bolts are about 1-1/2" long.) Allen or torx screws would work too. Toggle anchors have been used successfully before for paracord handle installs, ref. Trail 4R's write-up and Wraingler's video.



Rest of the install went pretty smoothly. There are two hanging pegs on the back of each visor base, easily cut off with the same flush cutter used to cut the toggle anchor retainer pulls.

 

Thanks for the write up!
Looks good for a non moon roof version and a no go for moon roof.

 

These would have worked in that application, wouldn't you think?

 

^You'd need more care to prevent the T-slot nuts from falling into the cradle structure in the ceiling during install/removal, especially with a large visor, but yes those should work. The toggle anchors stay retained in the holes with the screw removed.

 

That’s what I used
To prevent them from falling, put the bolt thru them, then turn them into position, and hold pressure when tightening. I installed all four FJ Handles on my current truck with this method without dropping any.
Easy peezy !

 

KTJO A-pillar grab handle?

 

^Yep, it's a work in progress, as mine is a 2010 without the bracket for the upper hole. The handle will be helpful once I install a suspension lift.
