The mesh one I have just has clamps with plastic/rubber shoes on the clamps so it doesn't scratch.

Just curious.... can clamps be bought seperately to use on a mesh visor that has holes in it to be screwed/riveted onto the roof gutters?

Don't know if there's any way to avoid it Tofu... maybe just screw it on, and then it's easy to remove and patch up. 🙂
I just got some technical advice on the subject by my stepdad who's a builder.

In yesteryear when sunvisors were all the go,they were self tapped into the gutter. If you didnt you ended up with the visor half way down your roof with very ugly scratched gutters at the end of your trip! Quite a funny sight providng it wasnt your car!!! Baz
