Sun Visor material
The material on the sun visors of my 90 coupe is saging. Is there any repair for that short of replaceing them? Other than the sag, they are in great shape.

Re: Sun Visor material (Tom73)
Best bet is to replace them. However, they are unreasonably expensive.
The material on the inside is cardboard. It has a perforation at the bend (talk about a cheap solution to making it flexible :mad ).
I did read a post where someone cut into the fabric and glued some sheet plastic to the cardboard then restitched the fabric.
Maybe you could take it to a car upholstery shop and have them repaired and recovered.

Re: Sun Visor material (John Row)
Thanks John,
I was thinking about injecting some type of glue/adhesive between the fabric and the cardboard, but do not have any idea of what type to use. Don't really want to experiment with mine :D . Has anyone tried this?

Tom if you want to try to glue it you can buy a spray can of headliner glue at most auto parts stores. I have not used it on a visor but it should be what you are looking for. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
