Visor and Options

I have perfectly fine visors but their a bit scratched , is there a cover for them , Im curious as to what any of you have done.

Have any of you just bought material and adhesive, what did you do for the seam on the ends.

Just looking for ideas really

Thanks in advance.....

Tough call on that one as the visor without bracket isn't too spendy. https://www.classicparts.com/Visors/products/899/

Re: Visor and Options

The cheap way is to refresh their appearance with some Marhyde vinyl color spray. The expensive way would be to have an upholstery shop make some custom covers.

I just bought some aftermarket replacements.

Re: Visor and Options

mine were tore loose from the metal and the mounts were pitted, i bought new covers and mounts
painting may be an option, they're cardboard and might be splotchy

Re: Visor and Options

I'd do the Marhyde thing before gluing material on them.
