The vinyl on my visors is in great shape. The problem is the foam inside turned to dust. I blew it all out and now they are just vinyl over the metal frame. I have a plan to build a reverse mold and refill them with 4 pound high density foam. It’s a two part liquid really made for the boating industry. I purchased decent originals off eBay to experiment with. What I need is someone with good originals to measure how thick they are and send me some pictures of the edges so I know what they should look like. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Consider buying a set f the excellent repros now availale. You will spend more time/$ futzing with the originals than the new ones cost.

jeff is right, but you could try slitting them on the top and packing them with original like foam padding and then supergluing them . We have a cheap set and a very nice set made in germany
