Hi all,

I was just wondering if the interior sunvisors were made to be soft or has this occurred over the years due to the inner foam being exposed to the elements? (The metal surround is still solid mind you). I’m assuming it is the latter but I don’t want to restore it if that’s how they were originally.
Also what advice do people suggest for cleaning up and re-firming sun visors? i was thinking about spraying some expanding foam into it then leaving it to dry between two bits of ply.... like what they've done here

Cheers

Yes I have wondered about doing it that way. Let us know how you go if you try it.
