Jim is right about the sunvisors, the inner ends of the visors will bind
against the inner edge of the body above the windshield when they are
flipped because they are now too long (having removed the overhead plastic
housing on mine). Also, depending on the configuration, you may have to
relocate / remove the air-conditioning control switches and patch the holes
in the headliner where the housing and tunnel attachment screws went
through. On my Carat, the electrical controls were located to the right of
the radio, so I didn't have to deal with that.
