I think it's the same as an S3. There are 4 holes in the header rail to take the swivels.I just bought a set from SJ Sportscars.

Can anyone advise how sun visors are mounted? Previous owner reupholstered the header and covered all the mounting holes. I also do not have any hardware - just the visors. So I need advise on how they are mounted (pics would help). I looked at the shop manual and there really isn't any good diagrams. This is for my S1.
Thanks

Re: Coolant sprayed from under passenger side dash - likley source
Glad it was such a simple fix. ? My life is just full of coincidences lately. I just sold my 73 Mustang to Monterey Touring Vehicles ?Rentals. My JPS Esprit came from Monterey in the 80¡¯s. ? Bill ?

Re: Coolant sprayed from under passenger side dash - likley source
Hi Rob, I believe that you will have to attack the problem from the interior, and from what I have read, it takes considerable time and isn't easy.? I have postponed replacement of the heater core in my car until next winter as I am now driving the car four or more days per week.? My car came from Hawaii with the heater's water pipes short-circuited. If you get desperate and want to do the same, pic follows.? If you go this route, be careful of situations when you need immediate defrost.? Good luck! Jeff, 139H
