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.

im interested

I'd like to do this, too. Over the winter when the car is in storage? Mail in existing ones, which aren't too bad, and get back your new ones?
The core program will be the way to go. We will buy and sell good cores at $25. Just pay the core and you can do this at your leisure.

Oh - I DID take a pic when I was stripping mine....not sure wha the wire was in there for - maybe just a little stiffness but it was like good ole multi-strand electrical wire. Strange...

I am in for a set. I crawfished on the last GB unfortunately due to my car being in a wreck. I am back on the road now and am looking forward, so this is perfect timing. Happy to pay in advance to show my commitment this time.

Hey Mark,
Do you use the same vinyl that is used on the rest of your black repro stuff? In other words, will it match my seats, my backpad, my console and my doorcards?
The grain is identical, but it is different. You can't tell even if you put next to another piece.

Mark -
Include me.....when do we need the cores in to you?

Add me to the list, and I can send extras for your core program, might as well they have been sitting at Dad's place for the last 30 years.
I am in for 2 sets.

So if I just add an extra $25 and send you the leather are we good to go?
I'd much rather do that than dig my old visors out of the storage unit - only God knows where they are right now.

I have trashed so many of these over the years. But Dad had a stash, and Mark can use the cores if good, so everyone wins.

Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentClick to view attachmentThanks for posting the above—have been wondering about having my visors rebuilt to half height. Would make the car feel more open with the roof off (love how airy the windshield feels without the visors in place, but that's a non-starter), and never need the full height of the visors. Don't need the pocket or the mirror, either…

Greetings Mark:
Sent a PM last Thursday as follows welcome your review and reply: Not sure if too late for the GB (sorry don't login often to 914 forum but definately need replacements for past five years), and if possible, would like two sets and can send the cores to you from Toronto. Really appreciate if you can accommodate me, welcome the instruction details as I understand they are available. Greatly appreciated,
Allan Mayhew
PS. I have purchased previously several products from you a year or so ago.

Yes, not a problem.
I forwarded invoices to all so far. This take about 3 weeks to complete and we can usually tag on some while we are in production easily. So anyone that is interested just sign up.
Thanks,

I found 7 visors. One pair is pretty much perfect. Too nice to part out. I'll send the other 5 Mark. I can't really tell until I strip them which side I have two of. One doesn't have a flap or a mirror. I still need to strip and ship.

Mark,
I may get the award for the dumbest question on this GB visor rebuild. Do you want us to leave the screws in to hold the screw clips in place or take the screws out before we send to you?
Thanks Mike
Mikey914
Aug 27 2019, 10:18 AM
No it is not the same price.
The GB deal is $110 for pocket and mirror, $100 naked. When you check out it adds the $25 core charge to the basket, unless you have sent them in.
That's one of the reasons that I'm doing this via paypal invoice. I can't disable it without creating a new listing and that messes with my accounting, so this is not on the site.
Thanks for checking,
Mark

You can remove these as we replace.

Surprised me how well 50 year old masking tape still sticks. Small portions of it anyway...
After the first one, the other 4 stripped pretty easily. Nice sharp blade in teh utility knife went through 'em like buttah.
How does one go about shipping 5 stripped cores? I don't think USPS has a flat rate box big enough for these. Do they?

USPS has a one rate priority long flat rectangular box that ships for $20. Size large

Hoping I'm not a dope that screwed up address. For some reason, it seems USPS decided to put stickers over the City, State, and Zip Code.
PM sent to verify that I can properly read and follow shipping instructions.
We'll get this package of the finest Corinthian Leather turned around ASAP.
Amazing the damage USPS managed to do to the box in only a couple of days!

So finally found my visors and the time to open them up.
Was wondering if these were redone already cause of the peculiar way
the mirror is secured in there or Hans really wasn’t concerned about the tape
being flattened out. Oh well just thought I’d share a pic of the guts of the visor.
