Bill...Fiat use 4 types of visors. Early visors use thin (approx 1/8 ")
pins. Middle years use a thicker mounting pins (approx 1/4) These come in
heat sealed vinyl and sewn edge vinyl. Later Fiat Spiders used the thick
pins with sewn edge vinyl and are bent to clear the latches.  The visors in
my Alfa Spiders look like the middle year Fiat visors. I have been getting
the heat sealed visors but if anyone wants the sewn edge type, drop me a
e-mail.
