1968 Cutlass S Sun visors

I finished my interior except for my new sun visors do not fit. I have a 2 door post coupe. Are the convertible sun visors different? Mine look like my originals except the pin that fits into the chrome anchor is way to small in diameter. Yes I have a new plastic sleeve in there. I bought the chrome swivels from opgi and the sun visors new off of ebay to long ago to return them...any help appreciated.

Hardtop and convertible sun visors are different. I can't remember off the top of my head what those differences are but they definitely don't interchange.

That's what I thought as well but these appear to be the same as my original sun visors?

I believe this is a pic of both from my junk pile. I think the convertible one is on top but my car is in storage so I can't tell for sure.

The pins coming out of the sun visor that goes into the chrome swivel is waaaay fatter in diameter than mine. Can you please measure the diameter of that pin for me so I have some ammo to go back to the company
I bought them from.

Thanks in advance. Todd

Thank you Mike. So I ordered new swivels from a company called classic inc. and the the sun visors appear to fit fine now.
So what the hell did opgi sell me?

I wonder if OPGI uses a single size rod in their visors that maybe only fits a swivel that they sell
