When did you purchase them? They have been sold out since I started checking two or three weeks ago and when I called they stated they were on backorder with no ETA.

I had same issues with my visors 2 weeks ago
Then a buddy said take them to a upholstery shop
45.00 bucks later both are redone and 10 fold better
He used a thin leather material look nice

Default C 5 2002 corvette sunvisors

Anyone know where I could get a left and right (with mirror) replacements for my BLACK sunvisors for my 2002 Corvette convertible at a decent price.

Thanks.

My solution for C5’s totally useless sunvisor: I cut off the roof bracket on the corvette's sunvisor and attached it to a quality sunvisor, in this case from Volvo. I refuse to reinstall the useless corvette sunvisors.

Did you retain the lights for the mirrors, or don't the Volvo mirrors have lighted mirrors? I agree on the lack of quality OEM C5 visors. They are the most poorly engineered pieces on the car. Followed closely by the fuel level sending units......

is there a special plug or anything you used to cover the hole left behind?
