Shield your MQ or GQ with the Elite Nissan Patrol Sunvisor: heavy-duty solid steel construction, paint-ready primer, and ultimate glare protection for the Australian outback.
The Nissan Patrol is an icon of off-road engineering. Whether you are navigating the rugged tracks of the Victorian High Country or cruising across the Nullarbor, your vehicle is built to endure. However, even the toughest 4WD can suffer from the relentless Australian sun. The Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is a professional-grade accessory designed to combat cabin heat and blinding glare, specifically engineered for the 1980–1997 MQ and GQ series.
In an era of cheap plastic imports, our Nissan Patrol Sunvisor stands apart due to its heavy-duty solid steel construction. Unlike acrylic or fiberglass alternatives that can flutter or crack under high-speed wind resistance, this solid steel unit is built to remain rigid and silent. Installing a Nissan Sunvisor provides a permanent “porch” for your windscreen, stopping the sun from heating your dashboard and steering wheel before it even enters the cabin.
Long-distance touring is a staple of the Patrol lifestyle. For those spending hours behind the wheel, eye strain is a significant cause of fatigue. A Nissan Patrol Sunvisor eliminates the need for constant adjustment of internal visors, which often block your peripheral vision. By providing consistent shade, the Nissan Sunvisor ensures that both the driver and passenger enjoy a significantly cooler environment, allowing you to stay focused on the track ahead.
Each Nissan Patrol Sunvisor we manufacture follows a strict quality-control process to ensure it meets the demands of the Australian outback.
Heavy-Duty Materials: Every Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is crafted from solid steel, providing a vibration-free experience even on corrugated roads.
Dual-Tone Finish: All units are supplied with a high-quality grey primer on the top surface, making them ready for your choice of top coat.
Anti-Reflective Underside: The underside of every Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is finished in specialized green paint. This industry-standard color is designed to absorb light and prevent bonnet reflections from bouncing into the driver’s eyes.
Alloy Front Edge: To add a touch of “Elite” styling, our Nissan Patrol Sunvisor features a polished alloy front edge. This edge comes protected by masking tape; once your paint has dried, simply peel it away for a sharp, professional look.
We understand that 4WD owners take great pride in the appearance of their rigs. While the Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is supplied in primer, we offer a professional painting service for those who want a “bolt-on” ready solution.
If you know the factory paint code for your vehicle (such as the classic Polar White or the metallic finishes of the Ti range), we can apply a professional top coat to your Nissan Patrol Sun visor before shipping. During the checkout process, simply enter your paint code in the cart notes. A fee of approximately $175 is added to cover the professional application of the paint to the top of the sunvisor. This ensures your new Nissan Sunvisor matches your MQ or GQ perfectly.
The Nissan Patrol Sun visor is designed specifically for the guttered rooflines of the 1980–1997 MQ and GQ models.
Secure Mounting: The unit is designed to clamp onto the rain gutters of your vehicle. For a permanent and high-strength bond—essential for high-speed highway travel—the Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is typically fitted with self-tapping screws into the back of the A-pillars. This ensures the visor remains a structural part of your vehicle, capable of withstanding extreme wind loads and bush debris.
DIY Friendly: For the average home mechanic, installing a Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is a straightforward weekend project. We recommend “dry fitting” the unit before applying any paint to ensure the alignment is perfect for your specific cab. When final installation occurs, using a small amount of neutral-cure automotive sealant on the screw points will ensure your Nissan Patrol Sun visor remains 100% watertight.
The MQ and GQ Patrols feature large windscreens that act like greenhouses. In 40°C heat, the dashboard can reach temperatures that lead to cracking and fading. By fitting a Nissan Patrol Sunvisor, you are adding a thermal shield.
The shade provided by the Nissan Patrol Sunvisor keeps the dashboard plastics at a much lower temperature. This reduces the radiant heat inside the vehicle, allowing your air conditioning system to cool the cabin faster and maintain a comfortable climate with less effort. For owners looking to preserve their vintage interiors, the Nissan Patrol Sun visor is an essential preventative investment.
Our manufacturing process is not limited to just one vehicle. While this specific unit is the premier Nissan Patrol Sunvisor for the 1980–1997 models, we also manufacture visors to suit a wide range of:
Passenger vehicles
Commercial vans
Heavy-duty trucks
Specialized 4WDs
Each unit, including every Nissan Patrol Sun visor, is individually manufactured to suit the specific contours of the vehicle model it is intended for. We do not believe in “one size fits all” solutions.
When you choose our Nissan Patrol Sunvisor, you are buying an Australian-made product designed for Australian conditions.
Durability: Made strong to last for years, through salt spray, dust, and heat.
Safety: By eliminating glare, the Nissan Patrol Sun visor makes driving into a setting sun much safer.
Aesthetics: The classic solid steel look complements the boxy, aggressive lines of the MQ and GQ Patrol series.
Value: A color-matched Nissan Patrol Sun visor increases the resale appeal of your vehicle, signaling to potential buyers that you have invested in quality protection.
Due to the size and rigid nature of the solid steel frame, the Nissan Patrol Sunvisor requires specialized shipping. We package each unit with extreme care to ensure the alloy edges and primed surfaces arrive in pristine condition.
Whether you are restoring a classic MQ or outfitting a GQ tourer for a lap of the map, the Nissan Patrol Sunvisor is the ultimate upgrade. Don’t let the sun ruin your comfort or your visibility—get in the shade with a heavy-duty, solid steel visor built specifically for your rig.
