Looking at another run of visors to recover $110 a set in vinyl naked or with flap and pocket, but need 12 sets to do this. Many happy customers, and better than $300+ for a decent set of visors.

Who's interested?

You will need to send in a stripped core (we can strip for $25 more), and we will recover. Shipping is not included in the cost.

I'm in for a set!

Can you clarify what a "stripped core" is, like do I just unstitch or peal off the current material?
mepstein
You just cut the vinyl with a sharp knife and peel off the frame. 3 minutes.

That's my car in Mikey914's post. His re-covered visors look fantastic in the car. You guys will love them.

Take off your old puffy visors, cut off all the vinyl, throw away the nasty crumbled up foam core, and just send him the wire frames.

Tip: Keep the original screws used to mount the visors onto the pins. They screw into the clips on the wire frame better than replacement screws, so that you can adequately tighten the visors onto the pins.

Another view of the visors (old vs new):

Yep. A bit messy to do and it's just easier to get them ready to go. The $25 extra charge is because we really don't want to do it. You can't hurt anything, just take a knife and slit the edges.

1 set for me.

Mark, You are going make me come out of retirement!

Very good quality. Only suggestion is to cut the top outside area lower the thick stitching makes it difficult to get the a targa latches through. Se the above old vs new pictures and how the old has more spacing.

Do not let this keep u from ordering. I was in the original buy and happy. These are good quality and worth the money!

I'm in for mine. Concours season is over at the end of October and then I'd like to send them. Would that be ok?

May want to round up a spare set, otherwise ever one will be waiting on you. Camp 914, Mark Epstine, rhodyguy, Brad Mayer. The usual suspects should have a few laying around.

I'll set these up to process through the site that way there will be an order. Just need a few more to open it up. Looks like it will happen, may be a few more days.

Mark,

Please count me in. My original visors live in the front trunk... just having them mounted, I usually end up getting foam dust everywhere. Look forward to restoring to functionality.

I'm in.
Mikey914
Look's like we can do this. I'll keep the thread open for another week or so. I know I always seem to miss someone.
The cores can be mailed to :
914Rubber.com
21300 NW Cornell RD PO Box 6
Hillsboro, OR 97124

You will need to strip or the fee will apply.

I'll open up the GB on the site shortly, so you will need to identify your shipment so I can match them up when I open it up.

I just need to identify who's is who's.
You will need to place the online. I just finished opening it up.

Us the print and call method for payment if you want to use a check. We do not cash checks until they ship. PLEASE, if you can include a copy of the invoice or invoice number so I can process in order. It will be about 2 weeks before we start, ans these will take a few weeks to complete. The option for plain or pocket is there as well as leather, if you are so inclined.

I sent off the metal frames yesterday. I couldn't believe how the original foam had turned into powder, no wonder they looked deflated.

Thanks again for doing this for us!
