Tackle intense outback glare and lower cabin heat with this heavy-duty GQ Patrol sun visor. Precision-moulded to follow the windscreen curvature of classic Nissan MQ and GQ Patrol models (1980–1997), this solid exterior windscreen visor stops blinding sun before it strikes your glass. Manufactured from high-grade, UV-stabilised automotive materials with a non-reflective matte black finish, the GQ Patrol sun visor shields your dashboard vinyl, reduces driver eye fatigue, and adds classic retro four-wheel drive styling to your build. Complete with stainless steel mounting hardware and weather seals, this GQ Patrol sun visor delivers long-term durability on washboard corrugations and open highway stretches alike.
Piloting a classic Nissan Patrol across open outback highways or corrugated bush tracks quickly exposes how much heat and glare penetrate through the upright front windscreen. That low-angle sun bouncing off a broad bonnet or chrome barwork creates severe driver eye strain. Fitting a dedicated exterior GQ Patrol sun visor provides immediate relief, acting as a permanent cab shield that blocks harsh overhead rays before they enter the vehicle.
Designed specifically for the classic boxy cab profile of 1980 to 1997 Patrols, this GQ Patrol sun visor pairs unmistakable period-correct 4×4 aesthetics with vital thermal and glare protection. Whether you are building an overland tourer, working a reliable farm ute, or restoring a tidy weekend rig, a solid GQ Patrol sun visor keeps forward sightlines clear and cab temperatures noticeably cooler.
Precision Vehicle-Specific Contouring: Moulded to match the exact roof profile, pillar spacing, and windscreen curvature of both MQ and GQ series cabs.
Non-Reflective Matte Black Finish: Eliminates optical flash and reflective bounce back into the cabin, providing clear, comfortable forward visibility.
UV-Stabilised Automotive Material: Built to withstand blistering Australian sun without warping, fading, or developing stress fractures.
Pre-Drilled Mounting Design: Incorporates pre-drilled holes aligned for factory visor positions to streamline the installation process.
Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Ships complete with marine-grade stainless steel fasteners and weather-sealing tape to prevent moisture ingress.
Aerodynamic Stability: Engineered to channel airflow smoothly over the cab roofline, eliminating annoying whistling noises and vibration at open road speeds.
Classic 4WD interiors are prone to heat degradation. Equipping your rig with an exterior windscreen shade delivers measurable advantages:
Glare-Free Driving: Heading into sunrise or sunset turns bonnet reflection into an outright safety hazard. The forward projection of this GQ Patrol sun visor creates an active shadow across the upper glass, reducing eye strain over long driving days.
Dashboard & Trim Preservation: Unfiltered UV radiation bakes vintage instrument clusters and splits original vinyl pads. Installing a GQ Patrol sun visor significantly lowers internal thermal transfer to protect rare interior trim.
Stout Construction: Flimsy universal accessories flutter or rattle when trucks pass in the opposite direction. A rigid GQ Patrol sun visor maintains structural integrity on high-speed runs and rough tracks.
Authentic Period Styling: This visor provides that iconic Australian touring look that perfectly complements bull bars, steel roofracks, and raised suspension setups.

Scorching outback sun degrades cheap plastic trim quickly. That is why every GQ Patrol sun visor utilizes heavy-duty, UV-stabilised automotive composite material formulated to resist extreme thermal expansion and contraction. The underside and topside feature a continuous matte black treatment, eliminating distracting reflection while delivering high mechanical impact resistance against low-hanging scrub branches and gravel spray.
Fitting your exterior windscreen visor can be carried out at home using common workshop hand tools in approximately 30 to 45 minutes:
Thoroughly wash, clean, and degrease the upper windscreen frame rubber and roof leading edge.
Position the GQ Patrol sun visor over the cab using the alignment contours to mark bracket placements.
Check for existing factory holes; if absent, mark and drill pilot holes into the upper metal windscreen surround.
Apply the provided weather-seal tape along the rear mounting lip to eliminate water pooling.
Secure the assembly firmly using the supplied stainless steel hardware kit.
Care Advice: Wash the surface using a soft sponge and mild automotive car wash. Avoid industrial solvents, harsh alkaline degreasers, or abrasive cleaning compounds to preserve the uniform matte black coating.

FAQs
Will this GQ Patrol sun visor also fit an older Nissan MQ model? Yes. The Nissan MQ Patrol (1980–1987) and GQ Patrol (1988–1997) share an identical windscreen frame profile and cab curvature, making this GQ Patrol sun visor fully compatible with both model generations.
Does installing this visor require drilling into the cab body? If your vehicle previously had a factory visor fitted, it will often align with the existing mounting points. For vehicles without pre-existing holes, minor drilling into the outer metal windscreen surround is required to secure the mounting brackets properly.
Will this exterior sunvisor obstruct forward road visibility? No. The visor mounts above the driver’s primary line of sight and rear-view mirror level, conforming to Australian Design Rules (ADR) for forward field of vision and external projections.
How does this visor handle highway buffeting and wind noise? The rigid, aerodynamic mould directs oncoming airflow cleanly over the roofline, eliminating the vibration, flapping, and whistling common with lighter universal shields.
