Possible source of NEW smoked sunroof visors

Hey guys and gals. I just saw this thread in the classified section and the pictures caught my interest. http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...ead.php?t=6403

I have a visor that came on my Mazda5 that looks VERY similar so I took it out to the car for a test fit. The brackets fit in the correct position and hook under the lip at both front corners of the sunroof. I only noticed two things that may or may not be a problem for someone who is ingenuitive.

Firstly the two front corners don't quite lay flat against the roof of the car, they are maybe 1/8 of an inch off of the body. This may very well be remedied by issue two...

Second, the brackets that hook under the sunroof "frame" on the roof are a bit too long. This could likely be remedied with a dremel or maybe sheet metal shears and a pair of pliers.

Also, I found another visor on ebay that may be a better solution...

Anyhow, this is just something interesting I noticed after seeing the visor in the classified section. I may try to mod mine a little and let you guys know if fitment is good.
