rear view mirror

[Ramses]

Hey,

I am looking for the thing that holds the sunvisors in place. During my restore, I lost mine, I guess. I can not find what it looks like and I do not have a good sence as to what to look for. I have tried ebay, motorsport and my local junk yards.

Please help

Here is the parts list page showing the "holder-sunvisor" as part number 96409-E8700.This is assuming your car is a 73 or earlier. nissanparts.cc shows it is still available for less than $5.

Actually, it's the same part number through 78. I've got a spare one somewhere. I'll have to look through my stuff and see if I can find it.

Thanks Blake,

If you have one, I will send you some money for it.

What is your inside Rear View Mirror mounted to?

The rear view is mounted directly to the metal on the roof of the car. I am using the 3 screws provided. They are a bit long and the it is a bit loose.

The reason I ask, is that the base of the mirror is the same base that accepts the ends on the sun-visors. The mirror itself snaps into the hole for it's clip. This is the safety break-away feature.

I'll see if I can find a pic.

The base of the mirror snaps into a square hole in a metal clip that is in turned covered by the plastic piece that holds the sun visors. The three screws go into the metal piece which actually holds the plastic piece in place. It's possible that the plastic part is broken off and missing but the metal is still there.

This differs from what I have in the 3 - 71, 72 and 73 Z's I have, that's why I'm asking.

I don't have that plastic piece you mention. Is this a latter type than the early Z's?

The Z's I have access to show that the base is what holds the sun-visor end rod, and it has the square hole for the mirror clip to snap into. No plastic piece.

Since the mirror can't be affixed to the roof without the base, and the base has the sun-visor holds, I was wondering why he needed separate pieces.

I wish I could answer that but it appears that once again I'm a victim of not knowing of production changes to items like this. I'm really only familiar with what's on my 9/71 model. I had no idea that this ever changed. I've attached a picture I just took of mine that clearly shows the separate pieces. As you can see my plastic piece was actually cracked and broken and I used a plastic glue to repair it.

I did just attempt to install just the metal piece without the plastic but in that situation the square hole is not deep enough to accept the mirror; the clip on the mirror hits the vinyl.

Mike what you pictured is all I have ever found in a Z-even with a red dot.
