Sprinter exterior sun visor

vango · Feb 12, 2006

Anyone know where i can find a sunvisor [exterior}for the front windshield of the sprinter? Saw a picture of a sprinter with one on it, on this website.However the owner does not know the maker,due to buying a used van. Thanks!

This place has about everything you could want on a Sprinter, except a listeing for an exterior sunvisor. A call to them might help locate the visor you want.

I don't know where to find the visor but from what I've heard about visors and bug shields that's going to cost anywhere from .5-1.0 mpg on fuel economy by messing up the aerodynamics. Good luck tracking one down.

Leo you better not be telling me you have a W900 without the visor}> Next thing you will say is that you ain't got none of them there chicken lights. geesh.

No, I have the visor and the bug shield above the radiator as well as the factory lights. On a W9 the visor/shield are about .1mpg penalty at most so no biggie. It's on the trucks like a T600 where the shield is about .3mpg and then to the Sprinter where they are at least 1/2 mpg where it makes a significantly calculable difference.

Sounds to me like you would be better off
buying some sunglasses.

not concerned with actual "sun blocking action". On all of my old '55 chevys they had external sunvisors.Just thought they looked cool,as stated previously ,i want one for the sprinter,mainly for my nostalgic stuck in the 50's brain!Just tryin to keep the past alive. There has to be one out there ,cause i have a picture of the sprinter with it on it.Check the van want adds,about oct.18 sprinter for 19,000

I have a Sprinter for personal use and I'm always looking for things to add on to it. http://www.stanwelltrailers.co.uk/a_photo.php?id=21

Thank you so much,Kathy!I looked at the site and there it was!The elusive sunvisor, in all its glory ,stately looking at me from its perch high atop a sprinter!Do you know of any place in the states that sells their sunvisors?Thanks again for your help.
