SUNSTRIP!!????

Post by smellurkebs »

hey everyone

was wanting to get a sunstrip on my car but dont know whether to get the exterior vinyl one or interior visor one. I've been looking at my car and it doesn't look like there is much room to fit a sunstrip on the outside since it cant be in the window wiper sweeping area...is that correct?
Also its harder to get one for the inside and they are harder to fit too :meh:
Was just wondering if any one has one on their car or can even give me some help?
Also what are the MOT rules for sunstrips?
Thanks in advance
:D Mick

best option is to fit the sunstrip outside
i would 1st fold both sunvisors down and have a look outside as to how far they come down the windscreen, after all the sunvisors arnt ilegal are they.
this should give you a rough guide on how low to do your sunstrip

if you fit it properly it shouldnt have a problem being in the area that the wipers touch but this is pointless anyway as even if the wipers clean it, you still cant see thru them lol!!

most people who want a BIG sunstrip usualy just fit smaller wipers or go 4 the single wiper mod
but its worth nothing that the police and mot people are aware of this trick, so make sure ur wipers clear enough of the windscreen ortherwise they may fail it
