There's a new story entry added:

How to Tweed Visors

Quote:

First remove the visors from the truck. You will need a T-15 torque wrench ( the star shaped one) There are 3 screws holding the visor on, once they are removed the visor will drop. There is a small plug tucked inside the hole going into the roof.

this is a great write up...i used it awhile back to do my visors, but instead of hot glue, i ended up sewing it up since the florida sun heated up the hot glue and they came undone!

i have a 93 s10 and i started to pull apart the visors and they seem to be only metal and plastic do you know if they are different?

redrider · 04-15-2006, 12:46 AM

mine were just cardboard....

I know this post has been on here for a while but do you by any chance know what the color is called and if it is the 2000 or 5000 series or what. I know it's Grey but the site doesn't have very good pics. I can see yours better. I actually want mine a little darker than what you have but that would give me something to go by. thanks for any info. nice job by the way. looks good.

I just tried this tutorial using black denim and it worked great. Although I used 3M spray adhesive to attach the fabric and close the halves together. I'll see if it separates in the heat later I guess.

Use high Temp Hot Glue. Mine are still together from this write up.

Would this be the same process for the 2nd gens?

DfntPntbll · 04-28-2008, 08:25 AM

that is a second gen visor,....

oh... and I ended up sewing the edges up. turned out quite nice i think. I still have the driver's side visor to do, but I have been lazy lately.

jimbob2388 · 04-28-2008, 02:20 PM

ohhh, haha, i thought it was the 1st. so would i be better off sewing them? or will i be ok, just glueing them?

DfntPntbll · 04-29-2008, 08:18 AM

After finishing one, I would have used less fabric and supplies had I just sewn them from the start. plus even though it was by hand, it didnt take long at all.
