The Nissan Patrol has long been the rival of the LandCruiser, a beast of a machine that conquered the Simpson Desert and the Victorian High Country alike. For owners of the MQ and the legendary GQ, maintaining that classic rugged look while adding modern functionality is a top priority. The MQ-GQ Sunvisor is the most effective way to upgrade your vehicle’s exterior, providing immediate relief from the harsh Australian sun while reinforcing the iconic silhouette of these vintage off-roaders.
Owners of older Patrols know that while these vehicles are built like tanks, their interior cooling systems and dashboard materials were designed in a different era. The large, relatively flat windscreens of the 80s and 90s are prone to massive heat soak. By installing a high-quality MQ-GQ Sunvisor, you are creating a permanent shaded zone over the glass. This is not just a cosmetic addition; the MQ-GQ Sunvisor is a functional tool that keeps cabin temperatures lower and prevents the blinding glare that can make late-afternoon driving dangerous on long outback stretches.
In the world of 4×4 accessories, durability is everything. A flimsy plastic visor simply won’t survive the vibrations of a TD42 or the corrugations of a remote track. Our MQ-GQ Sunvisor is built for the long haul.
Solid Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade solid steel, this MQ-GQ Sunvisor offers unmatched rigidity. It doesn’t flutter at 100km/h and won’t crack if a stray branch clips it on a tight bush track.
Vibration Dampening: The mounting system for the MQ-GQ Sunvisor is designed to work with the gutter lines of the Patrol, ensuring a snug fit that minimizes wind noise and rattling, even when you’re pushing through high-resistance coastal winds.
Precision Fit for MQ & GQ: Whether you drive the square-bodied MQ or the coil-sprung GQ, this MQ-GQ Sunvisor is engineered to follow the specific roofline and A-pillar geometry of the 1980–1997 era Patrols.
Your Patrol is unique, and a generic black plastic look doesn’t always cut it. The MQ-GQ Sunvisor is designed to be a seamless part of your vehicle’s aesthetic.
Professional Primer Coating: Each MQ-GQ Sunvisor is supplied in a high-quality grey primer. This provides a perfect, stable base for you to color-match the unit to your Nissan’s factory paint—be it the classic white, silver, or the iconic two-tone schemes found on the Ti models.
Anti-Reflective Underside: To ensure maximum visibility, the underside of the MQ-GQ Sunvisor is finished in a specialized anti-glare green. This prevents light from bouncing off the bonnet and into your eyes, a feature that is essential for safe driving in high-contrast environments.
Polished Alloy Edge: To provide that “Elite” finish, the MQ-GQ Sunvisor features a polished alloy front edge. This edge comes protected by masking tape; once your custom paint job is dry, simply peel it away to reveal a sharp, silver trim that gives your Patrol a premium, custom-built appearance.
The dashboards of MQ and GQ Patrols are becoming harder to find in good condition. UV radiation is the primary cause of the deep cracks and fading seen in vintage interiors. Fitting an MQ-GQ Sunvisor is one of the best preventative measures you can take.
By blocking a significant portion of UV rays, the MQ-GQ Sunvisor protects the vinyl and plastic components of your dash. Furthermore, it keeps the steering wheel and gear stick cool enough to touch during those midday stops at the fuel bowser. For those living in the Northern Territory or Western Australia, the thermal benefits of an MQ-GQ Sunvisor cannot be overstated—it effectively acts as a “veranda” for your cabin, reducing the load on your air conditioning system.
The MQ-GQ Sunvisor is designed for a rock-solid, permanent installation. Given that the GQ and MQ are often used for serious off-roading, we have prioritized mounting strength.
A-Pillar Mounting: The MQ-GQ Sunvisor secures firmly to the pillars using high-strength fasteners. This ensures the visor stays put even when subjected to the extreme wind resistance encountered during highway touring.
Waterproofing: We always recommend applying a small amount of neutral-cure automotive sealant to the screw points. This ensures your MQ-GQ Sunvisor installation remains 100% watertight, protecting the internal pillar from moisture.
DIY Friendly: The kit includes all necessary hardware. For the average Patrol owner who is comfortable with a drill, installing the MQ-GQ Sunvisor is a straightforward weekend project that adds immediate value to the vehicle.
When you compare our steel MQ-GQ Sunvisor to cheap fiberglass or acrylic imports, the difference in quality is obvious.
1. Classic Styling: The MQ-GQ Sunvisor captures that period-correct “old school” look that suits the boxy lines of the 80s and 90s Patrols perfectly. It makes your rig look ready for a cross-continental expedition.
2. Increased Resale Value: As MQ and GQ Patrols become increasingly collectible, high-quality accessories like a color-matched MQ-GQ Sunvisor can significantly boost the appeal of your vehicle to potential buyers. It shows that the owner cares about both protection and aesthetics.
3. Safety in Every Condition: Whether you are navigating a tricky descent or cruising the highway, the MQ-GQ Sunvisor ensures your vision is never compromised by the sun’s position. It’s an essential safety upgrade for anyone who takes their touring seriously.
The MQ-GQ Sunvisor is a large, rigid steel item that requires specialized shipping to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
Reinforced Shipping: We take extra care to package the MQ-GQ Sun visor in reinforced crates to prevent any damage to the primer or the alloy edges during transit.
Painting Service: If you want a “bolt-on” solution, we offer a professional painting service for the MQ-GQ Sun visor. For approximately $175, we can color-match the top surface to your specific Nissan paint code.
Reliable Support: Our team knows the 1980-1997 Patrol range inside and out. If you have any questions about fitment for your MQ or GQ, we are here to help you get the right MQ-GQ Sun visor for your specific build.
If you drive a 1980-1997 Nissan Patrol, you own a piece of 4×4 history. Protect that history and your own comfort by installing an MQ-GQ Sun visor. It is the ultimate combination of style, protection, and durability. Don’t let the glare ruin your next trip—get in the shade with a heavy-duty MQ-GQ Sunvisor and keep your Patrol looking as tough as it feels.
