I've got 3 of those upper visors (2 with Toyota on still)... my spare I actually removed the "toyota" from and sprayed it with tinting spray (both sides), dark, so it really suits my dark blue super charger now (imo), but also retains that side profile shape which I prefer with the visor on (without it the rear looks a little boxy around the rear window). Just an idea for those with spares (don't do it if you only have one as they are getting rarer!) but to me it modernises it a bit and looks OEM if sprayed well and doesn't scream 'TOYOTA' all over the rear window (this is a sympathetic cosmetic mod I'm not a ricer just to clarify - it was just one way of taking a bit of that 'busy' look away from the visor and works well for me) Also got 3 x cpillar trims from my 2 ex Mr2s + current. You can still get the black UPPPER part brand new (with brand new bolts (no nuts) that the visor tabs sit on + has new rubber trim fitted as from factory) from japan for just $30 ;) I bought 2, proper OEM toyota parts. You can't get the C-Pillar trim of course.
Hello, I found your video very helpful, I just got my mr2 and I replaced my c pillar trim, I'm now trying to install my windshield trim, any suggestions?
Sorry I have no experience with the windshield trim. I thing the Toyota repair manual details glass repair though. You can find PDF of you search around some of the old MR2 community sites.
Thanks Larry. Great Vid! I just picked up my reproduction C Pillar Trim set from Twos R us and am looking forward to installing them on my 1985 MR2.
