shaving sun visiors

Indys10 · 07-07-2008, 11:10 PM

Has anybody ever shaved their sun visiors? I would shave them and then recover the headliner in tweed. Post pics if u have em and im open to any opinions and tips.

... um what exactly do you mean

Xtreme24 · 07-08-2008, 01:57 PM

yes, i removed the visors and just tweeded over the existing holes. I'll post pics later.

yea i did this too, its pretty easy, the first time i did mine you could kinda tell there was a dead spot behind it, Im about to redo mine and fiber glass the holes closed in the headliner so the tweed will have somethin to stick to

doesn't seem like it would be to hard, but i like my visors when the sun is shining right in my face

Sunglasses FTW!

Indys10 · 07-08-2008, 04:26 PM

i will appriciate the pics but if i do it i will have to keep a pair of sunglasses handy

any ideas about fillimg in the holes where the visors where other than fiberglass? im thinking about shaving the handle in the roof on the passenger side too.

Indys10 · 07-08-2008, 04:27 PM

o yhea what about just tweeding over the factory head liner instead of removing it?

LowSlungDime · 07-08-2008, 05:33 PM

the factory material you mean? Its better to take it off so i can stick to the actual foam stuff.

You really need to take off the old material. This comes to visors and headliner.

Indys10 · 07-30-2008, 05:35 PM

well im starting this project today ill keep you guys posted

Take the old off. As for filling in the holes use masking tape on one side to cover the holes then use 5 min epoxy to fill the holes with. Let it dry then carefully sand it flush with the rest of the board.
