Sunvisor Repair This is an example of how to replace your disintegrating sun visors. Modern cars use cardboard wrapped with a foam backed felt glued to it. Over time, the felt disintegrates and the foam crumbles away, leaving you with crumbling ugly sun visors. 1. Remove the sunvisors from your car. 2. Carefully peal the fabric off of the carboard. I used some packing tape to repair the cardboard where it had come apart. 3. Head down to your favorite fabric store and purchase headliner material. I found this at Hancock’s. Then stop by the auto parts store for some weather strip glue.

Sunvisor Repair This is an example of how to replace your disintegrating sun visors. Modern cars use cardboard wrapped with a foam backed felt glued to it. Over time, the felt disintegrates and the foam crumbles away, leaving you with crumbling ugly sun visors.

1. Remove the sunvisors from your car. 2. Carefully peal the fabric off of the carboard. I used some packing tape to

repair the cardboard where it had come apart.

3. Head down to your favorite fabric store and purchase headliner material. I

found this at Hancock’s. Then stop by the auto parts store for some weather strip glue.

4. Lay out the headliner material and trim it about an inch bigger than the

carboard.

5. Follow your glue directions and apply the glue on the cardboard and on the headliner (foam side) so that when you fold the fabric over onto the cardboard, the glue will touch. Let it sit according to the directions.
