Yes, I replaced both of mine with late-model vanagon sun visors. Very
superior design and production. Since they are abuot 1/3 thicker than the
1983 visors, I devised a way to cut and glue two of the overhead catches
together on each side in such a way that they later model visors fit
without breaking the plastic clips off, which is a problem if you don't
make them taller. I have been using this modified clip design I think for
four years now with no problem. Let me know and I can send you the details,
or you can search the archives for my name and the word sun visor. All you
need for two sides is four clips and some JB weld or epoxy. Sawing will
have to be done with a fine toothed hobby saw. If I send you a picture you
will see what is going on. The later model visor has a lighted mirror on
the passenger side, of course.
