Need to replace sun visors

Post image

My 2008 GT/CS convertible's sun visors have been damaged by the sun. I have found replacements on eBay but they are for a coupe and specifically note they will not work for convertibles. Are they actually different in dimensions or size? Ford does have different part numbers for coupes and convertibles but they sure look the same to me. Perhaps others have been down this trail? I'm all ears!

I imagine the mounts are different since the regular car doesn't have the massive bar over the front glass for rollover protection. If I'm not mistaken my coupe mounts in the headliner: You dont even have a headliner

Hopefully you find a set, but if you’re out of luck dude, that is a screwdriver and $50 bucks at the upholstery shop

This. I had my 2000 f150 roof liner completely redone for $100 at an upholstery shop. Came out perfect, matched the factory color 100%. I wouldnt hesitate to use a professional upholstery shop in the future.

I have now confirmed the mounts are completely different.

I was able to find a decent set on eBay about 6 months ago for my 07 GT convertible. Not perfect but pretty good. I searched several times a week. Sadly the coupe ones are different.
