    No, they will not. I know from experience. I need to replace the visors in my LeSabre and got a set from a LeSabre coupe. They are TOO LONG to fit the convertible. :rant: So if anyone needs a set of blue visors for a full-size hardtop, let me know...

    Hi Adam, just placed my order. Visors are now cheaper but mirror X4 ! (but my mirror is perfect). :beer

    I guess all these cosmetics parts I replace one by one even when not really bad may find a second life on the black Centurion I am still hesitating to buy...

    You'll be very happy with your sunvisors! I was, for sure. When I bought my car, someone had ripped the visors out and broke off the hinges inside the pillar:

    Awesome... another useful link... the visors I have are fine, except that the passenger side won't stay flipped up... will order a set anyway... spare parts rock...

    In this case, just change the bushings. This site offers them for a couple of $.
    Got mine from Cars for even cheaper (if I remember well).

    You might want to try putting a very slight bend in the rod going through the visor. You can do this with the rod in the visor by simply bending the visor. The visors on my 73 Riv didn't take much bending at all, in fact you can't tell that the rods are bent. The bent rod apparently causes the bushings to bind just enough to hold the visor up. If only everything were that cheap and easy.
