sun visor mounts

Here is a stupid question.

Where do the sunvisors mount to?

 

I'm finally working through the mess that was made of my 02's restoration and not having sun visors is finally getting to me. I have a terrible, but intact headliner that was installed in my car. They installed the catch points but not the visors—See photo

So, Before I start stabbing holes into the headliner I figured I'd ask if there is a piece they could have removed (because they likely did) or if the mounting points are fixed. Any advice is welcome.

 

If it matters this is a 1972.

You will ultimately need to stab some holes. I assume that they didn’t leave the screws in place to allow you to find the holes by feel?

 

i would search for some pictures of that rail area without the headliner in place to give you an idea where you are shooting.

There are some great pictures of that area in this thread.

 

 

And a shot from inside for a little better context, from Keith Kreeger at my2002tii.com. Check out the "table of contents" on his site for lots of great construction/restoration photos

You can find the mounting holes pretty easily by using the pictures kindly posted by Jimmy, feeling for the rectangular hole with your finger, then locating the small screw holes with a blunt piece of wood--like a coffee stirrer or popsicle stick.  That way you won't accidentally make a hole in the headliner in the wrong spot.

 

The big hole allows the ball joint on the end of the bracket to fit into the roof, so you'll most likely have to cut a small X in the headliner for that hole, and then punch the mounting screw holes with a nail or pointed punch.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
