Default C7 faded sunvisors

All,
Is there a dye that I can use to bring my sunvisors back to the original look? 4.5 years of top down has taken it's toll as you can see.

Thanks!

Mine are in the same boat, but with the Brownstone interior it's not so glaringly obvious . They definitely faded and they look brown.

Subscribed to hear if anyone has an option that isn't simply replacing them.

Find a good auto upholstery shop. I am sure they can solve your problem. I would first check how much OEM sunvisors cost.

Not really. There is ONE used one for sale (right hand side) for $100. The rest are new and way more money.

OEM for the pair (with Homelink) from Trunk Monkey: $401.87 + shipping (these are NOT suede)

If you're looking for a magic cleaner, it doesn't exist. Having said that, often times a good scrubbing with a fine bristle brush and some cleaner will bring a little of the color back (actually you're just removing the road grime). If they're still not to your liking, then take them to a shop and they can recover them in whatever material you'd like, take them to a shop and they can re-dye them, or you can re-dye them at home.
