I "adjusted" it but did not modify it. The raingutters on IH cabs must be parallel whereas the PW cab raingutters converge slightly as they drop toward the cowl. So, in the center of the visor (underneath the conter panel), I bolted the bottom of the visor halves closer together than the top of the visor halves to try and get the gutter mounts to taper inward at their lower ends. That worked somewhat, but the bottom of the visor bows out further from the windshield than the top because there is still less distance between the raingutter bottoms than raingutter tops. I also clamped the center of the visor to the vertical center cover on the windshield. It stays put to 55 mph, but tends to come unclamped at 65 mph due to wind pressure raising the visor upward. When I get more ambition I will install a rod from the center front low point of the visor straight down and into the cowl to keep the visor from raising and blowing off at high speeds.
