MitchS Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 I would love to find a solution for sun-visors for the Mooney....but I cannot seem to find anything. In some places it looks like there was a Rosen solution, but that actually doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone have any luck? Quote
Hank Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Mine has factory shades. What year is yours? On the other hand, maybe they were replaced. They are heavily-crazed smoked plexi. Some early Cs don't have the mounting bracket welded to the frame above the headliner, not sure what year that began. Search for sum visors, there's a recent thread about someone making a center post mount, with a parts list. Seems it was large ubolts to attach a center block to the post, and some small ubolts to attach the smoked plexi visors to the arms. Don't recall what he used as arms. Quote
MitchS Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Posted February 19, 2016 Mine is a 1968 I'll keep digging! Quote
RLCarter Posted February 19, 2016 Report Posted February 19, 2016 Nothing I have found, several have made their own that mount to the center bar, I have a set of articulating ones that in the process of finishing up (more of a back burner right now) Quote
yvesg Posted February 20, 2016 Report Posted February 20, 2016 My C is a 1965 and I have them. Did it get taken off at some point? I am pretty sure Don Maxwell would know. Yves 1 Quote
LevelWing Posted February 22, 2016 Report Posted February 22, 2016 I have a 1968 with the factory shades as well. Will this not work for you? http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/rosenvisors.php Quote
MitchS Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Posted February 29, 2016 Its weird, I don't have any mounts or anything that would make it look like there was a place for them.... Quote
MARZ Posted February 29, 2016 Report Posted February 29, 2016 take a look at these http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/9989?gclid=CPzphpufncsCFQeRfgodoVYGKA 1 Quote

StinkBug Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 I have a 68C and have the rosens. They are great. Dunno why they wouldn't fit yours as well unless someone changed something. Quote

I am going to test fit a center mount idea I have and then make available as owner produced. See the other thread in this forum Quote

Since mine are in need of replacement, I'm looking for something. I was going to go with the Rosen's until I saw this. Quote

Would be great to have something. (I have no clue of the prior owner removed mine, or what....but there is nothing resembling a mount for a visor at all....) Quote

I just bought one of these from fellow MooneySpacer Paul Steen (gsxrpilot- nice guy) because he couldn't really get it to fit/work in an M20C. He's not wrong about that. I'm still fighting to try to make it usable for my airplane. I think I may be able to get it to work in one or two specific configurations, but not nearly as adjustable as you would think. I'm very glad I didn't pay full price. 1 Quote

I have a C model as well and if they don't fit in Paul's, they're not likely to fit in mine. Can you post pictures if you get it working? Quote
MitchS Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 I'll have to get a bit creative...the darn curved Mooney windows Quote
MARZ Posted March 2, 2016 Report Posted March 2, 2016 I put mine in with the suction cups either side of the center bar - haven't trimmed for the curve yet. 1 Quote
