trimacar Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have two sun visors to recover, have the fabric and the border, would like to have someone do it, including the little leather piece on each where you grab it in the middle. Yes, I can sew, but sun visors present problems that most other trim jobs don't, and I'd rather have someone do it who is a professional and has the specific equipment to do them. I searched the topics but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks David C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesR Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The local upholsterer who did my interior recovered my visors and did a fine job. I would think that most people who do upholstery could handle visors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be worth giving them a call. It was a dozen years ago they did mine, though, so maybe they aren't doping that any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) My sister did the ones in my 30 Cadillac exactly how the original ones were sewn. Three sides by machine and the side where the arm is by hand. Plus made me dinner while I waited is a deal you can not beat. I just noticed I never replaced the screws to original ones.

I just looked at their website and the prices are much cheaper than buying replacements for my car. Not that I am in a hurry but the last few parts I sent out to have repaired/restored took literally years to come back. Not from this supplier I will add.

Tom Boehm Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Hello TAKerry, I had them done in the fall of 2023. I think it took about 2 weeks. Good craftsmanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I usually have the upholstery shop do it. On my 35 Buick, the top was so low I made tinted plexey glass sun visors, for more visabliity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
