I was thinking about putting a windshield visor on the GMC. For the owners that have them now, how do you like them? Are there some visors that are designed better over the years than others when it comes to quality and how they install?

My ancestor's comedy was way ahead of it's time...Kind of like a GMC!
Are all the windshield visors built as two pieces? Seems like it would be a lot stronger as a single mold. I think I need to check one out on a GMC first.

You need to talk to Jim Bounds about how to correctly install a visor.
If you don't do it right, you will join the ranks of GMCers who have
really pissed off those following them when chunks of their ripped of
visord hit thier cars.

This makes for a much stronger visor, and if you fill the remaining seam, sand and paint, you end up with a realy good looking visor.

G'day,
I bought a two piece visor for The Blue Streak in Australia. I carried it
back as baggage on United from Houston to Sydney.
When I checked in they asked me what it was, I told them it was two of the
worlds largest boomerangs I had made specially in the USA! ;-)

As I understand it, some one used to produce a one piece, but does not any
longer....some problems with quality, as well as shipping costs. It costs
much more to ship something as large and awkward as a full size visor as
opposed to half size.
