My son wanted to add visor on his '90 Bronco and this video helped us tremendously with what to think about as well as the order in which to do it. I have no doubt you saved us a lot of gut ache (and time). So, I just wanted to say thank you very, very much!
When I installed my Lund Visor on my 79 F250 I Positioned the visor on the roof with tape , double checked and triple checked the alignment . I also took several measurements to make sure I had it centered . Once satisfied with the positioning I marked the holes and drilled only the top outside holes with a small drill bit . I then used small sheet metal screws in the two upper outside holes . Once those were secured I drilled the remaining holes with a small drill bit. I installed the remaining Sheetmetal screws and again checked for proper alignment . Satisfied that everything was going to line up , I removed the small sheet metal screws. I decided that sheet metal screws were not a good idea for this application . Having aircraft sheet metal experience I decided to install 1/4 20 stainless steel riv nuts . I redrilled the holes to the exact od of the riv nut. I coated the ss rivnuts with a seam sealer while pushing them into the hole and installed them using a homemade bolt and nut /washer combination .( My riv nut tool was a cheap Harbor Freight one and it could not pull the SS riv nuts) . This installation method is guaranteed not to rust or wear out the holes due to air flow vibration . Another thing I did to prep the visor was to sand the inside smooth as possible to reduce air flow disturbance at highway speeds. I also painted the inside of the visor matte black to reduce glare . Good luck with your installation project .
Good video, thank you. FYI, those are not "Self tapping screws." No need to use different size screws for different thickness of metal. Still a helpful video.
Thank you for your video! helped me out alot. That sealant u described is pretty good! i've have my sun visor on my 95 gmc for about a month now and have been powerwashing the truck and its roof since its so hot outside these summer days.. works GREAT thank u again!
If you have a West Marine nearby get them there. They will have the stainless hardware as well, putting regular steel screws was a big mistake back in the day. Also dont forget a sealant for the screws!
I have an 88 bronco I was wondering where you found the visor I have been looking EVERYWHERE and cannot find them for under $300 any help would be awesome.
What did you use to paint it and clear coat it. Also doesn’t this affect the use of an EZpass or sun pass for tolls? I’m seriously considering getting this for my 2015 ram 2500
FS1 3 years later, did you ever put in the front screws on your moon visor?. I own the 91 silver edition with visor already installed, when they did the wiring, they hooked it up to the dimmer switch, I don't know why either. ok Just wondering.
Yes the rubber well nuts could of been used, and looking forward I will use that next time. Thanks for the suggestion. With my method I used the 5200 sealant for that rust/leak preventive purpose. So far no leaks!
I wish I could see a plan for one of these or see one 360 under over around . So as to get an idea of how it is made and out of that . I could think of other ways of making one .
I have one of these installed on my truck its been on it for years Im planning on removing it so I can re-do the harness, do you think it will be safe to do it? Cheers, good video by the way!
How long of a lifespan are you getting on your stainless steel screws before they rust? I typically get about 2-3 years before they start to rust and I have to replace them here in Hawaii. This is the first place I have lived where stainless steel rusts so quickly.
WH6FQE - RC Anderson I’ll be honest I haven’t looked, they are under those cap nuts. Unless I remove the caps I wouldn’t be able to tell. That being said I have no leaks from those holes, so I assume they are ok. Hope this helps.
@@firesupression1 ok, thanks. I just installed one on my 1990 Chevy K3500 1-Ton 4x4 Dually today to match it up a little to the 4" cowl induction hood I put on it last week. The combination really gives it an aggressive look. Hopefully I will get longer rust-free life from the stainless steel screws this time, I loaded them down with silicone before putting the caps on them.
I plan to install a Lund visor on my 79 Chevy shorty van. You mentioned rust, put simply, when you put 2 dissimilar metals together, they usually rust at some point. My plan was to use Rivnuts ( other names like jacknuts & threadserts ) That way I can easily remove the visor for a show if I ever need and I don’t need to worry about stripping out the thread ( yes, thread ) on sheet metal because I’ll be using a matching machine screw that fits the rivnuts thread. Cleaner install because you can use a step bit the cleanly make the correct sized hole, pop in the rivnut and you are done . … here come the critics ! Lol
Goodmorning I replaced them with the lumitec 101084 livewell lights. The only thing you have to do is paint the back of them so that you don't see the light coming out of the back of the housing. Good luck buddy
Your welcome. I believe I just had to drill the holes out a little bit and they fit right in. I also remember taking out the gasket behind the Amber lenses and cleaning the lenses real good. Since the lights are designed to be underwater they don't need to be protected by the gasket of the Amber lens. Plus I think it looks cleaner without the gasket.
I know that video is old. But, I cannot seem to find a part number for the light bulbs/bulb housing. I have the lenses but honestly wouldn't mind replacing them also. Hopefully this gets through to someone. Thanks in advance
Does anyone who has one of these know if it whistles on the freeway or at high speeds? I think they look sick and I really want one but if it’s gonna whistle that’s a deal breaker.
I don't know of a different size made. They only came with two models for the trucks. Moonvisor which is the lit up one (mine) and the sunvisor non-lit style. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
thanks i was also looking at summit cab visors but they make diferent sizes and i dont want it to look too big or too small but the comment did help thanks
Thanks for the video I bought a lighted moon visor for my 1995 EDDIE BAUER bronco (On my page if you'd like to check it out) its almost been 2 years now how's it holding up? Still no leaks? and how's it on the highway? thanks and great video thanks for posting it'll come in handy when it comes time to install it.
firesupression1 thanks for getting back to me. where can I get that 5200? im in Colorado so im not sure were to look first and I should be able to go to any boat place to get the hard where? thanks
5200 is made by 3M "marine adhesive sealant" you should see at your local hardware store i.e. home depot, ace, lowes, etc. the screw caps you should see in there as well.
Visor is holding up great i havnt noticed a single bit of rust or leaks in the truck. We have had some really wet thunderstorms here in fort myers, fl and not a drip in the truck.
So I wanna put one on my charokee and I saw one with offroad lights built into it if anyone has seen one that sounds like I just described get me a link please
“Brah” you realize how ridiculous you sound asking for that of a shade tree non monetized channel right? A five year old has a better life than you troll.

Hey man, im looking for a 1979 ford f100 visor for cheap because they are ridiculously over priced at 500$ Could you help me get one?
Yeah rivnuts and urethane would have been my go to, would not use drill and screw method as in the video... Just my preference
Those visor still look sweet!! Even in 2019 lol 😂 great video!!
Would that visor fit a 2000 chevy astro
@@R-Mc your comment attached to my comment I have a 2002 GMC Sonoma with a moon visor I'm not sure if you're asking me or the original video poster?
Good video, thank you. FYI, those are not "Self tapping screws." No need to use different size screws for different thickness of metal. Still a helpful video.
When you put the visor on the roof use some strong grip clamps to hold it in place and adjust accordingly. I did that and it turned out great
Thank you for your video! helped me out alot. That sealant u described is pretty good! i've have my sun visor on my 95 gmc for about a month now and have been powerwashing the truck and its roof since its so hot outside these summer days.. works GREAT thank u again!
I love those things they look badass
thanks for sharing i took one of these and bondo’d up the light sockets and painted to convert it to a sun visor

So was I before I installed mine. So once I was taught I definetly had to make a how-to vid. Glad this helped ya.

Nice job. I just bought a Lund Visor for my 95 Ranger. Got to buy the mounting hardware now.
Should of used rubber well nuts is what your suppose to use. It keeps water from leaking into body causing leaks and rust.
Yes the rubber well nuts could of been used, and looking forward I will use that next time. Thanks for the suggestion. With my method I used the 5200 sealant for that rust/leak preventive purpose. So far no leaks!

Just wondering do you get any wind buffeting when going down highway at 75 - 80 mph? Especially when meeting semi's on 2 lane highways?
Bruce Junker not at all buddy. It’s solid as a rock.
Hey I know this video is old but do u still have that XJ? I wanted to ask u some questions about it. Thanks
Dang you have to bondo this if you want to remove them I’m assuming

Now how do you get one of these for 2015 Silverado?

I have a 91 GMC Jimmy that I wanna add a moon visor to. Where did you purchase the moon visor?
summit racing has 3 types you can buy from 129-289. plus shipping of course
Where do you hook the visor lights to?
Great video, thank you so much.. im doing this on my dodge and this helped me so much.
The screws and caps I bought at WESTMARINE. You can see the packaging in the video. Hope this helps.
Would that fit a 2000 chevy astro
I'm gonna be completely honest. Bad fuckin ass
I'm rewiring my moonvisor and I can't find the light sockets anywhere.were did you get yours?

Thanks for the video I bought a lighted moon visor for my 1995 EDDIE BAUER bronco (On my page if you'd like to check it out) its almost been 2 years now how's it holding up? Still no leaks? and how's it on the highway? thanks and great video thanks for posting it'll come in handy when it comes time to install it.
It's still perfect. On the highway no issues at all and no leaks. That 5200 is the best sealant, that stuff will hold for life. Thanks for watching!
firesupression1 thanks for getting back to me. where can I get that 5200? im in Colorado so im not sure were to look first and I should be able to go to any boat place to get the hard where? thanks

ok, thanks
hey i was just wonder hows the visor holding up, been almost a year, any leaks or rust forming?
Visor is holding up great i havnt noticed a single bit of rust or leaks in the truck. We have had some really wet thunderstorms here in fort myers, fl and not a drip in the truck.
firesupression1 thats good to hear, and thankyou for responding quickly i just got a moonvisor for my silverado and plan on putting on this weekend.
So I wanna put one on my charokee and I saw one with offroad lights built into it if anyone has seen one that sounds like I just described get me a link please
did this with my 99 gmc sierra so anyone else out there with my truck, you wire it into the white cable. there is no brown
Those are not self tapping screws! If they were "self tapping" you wouldn't need to pre drill!
Thank you for your wisdom.
Dude worry about sealing 😂
That is not a selftapper!!!!
Sean Astin? Lol
I want to take mine off that came from factory
