So yeah i thought this might help some people out
I was tired of my broken drivers side visor, i look all over and just could not bring myself to pay $$$$ for one Because im a Cheap A$$ SO I Fixed it Like So,
All the visor is made up of is a piece of masonite and a tube with 2 bars in it
start with removing the thread from around the vinyl
you only need to remove a little bit once this is done burn the end of the thread to keep it from pulling out any farther
once you have the binding undone you can pull the 2 bars out of the assembly. Once you have them out spread apart the vinyl and remove the the tube and piece of masonite
From here its pretty simple remove the staples from the tube and keep ahold of them
Get a piece of masonite or in my case i used paneling as i had it laying around and it was the right thickness and trace a pattern
Cut it out and get ready to reattach the metal to it
Here i used a 1/16" drill but and made new holes for the staples
I also added some body panel glue just to be sure
Now line it all up and push the staples through and then clamp it tight till the glue dries
Once the glue has set remove the clamps and flip it over to hammer the staples flat
Now slide the whole assembly back in the vinyl sleeve
Now get your choice of thread and needle and re stitch the binding back up
Slide the metal caps back on and you are good to go
On a side note i did add some grease and i did pry out on the tube a little bit to make the bars move easier
Hope this helps some of you out :cheers2:
