My '92 visors look like they could use a stiffer insert,especially at the fold part.Has anyone attempted this and what were the results.It looks like all you would have to do is split the seam-put in a replacement and have your wife resew it.

Mine are starting to get like this.. I think I've seen someone take a thin metal wire and slide it in the side before almost the diameter of a pin and slip it into the card board or whatever the inside of the visor is made of.. take a couple and space them an inch apart or something you may beable to slip them in all the way past the cloth and noone will know they are there.. but this is a "repair" in stead of replaceing the visors.. not sure if it works but I thought i saw someone do this one time..
