Sun visor option/retrofit (1 Viewer)

[Killacush]

So I did some searching, found a few posts on here of what people have done with their sun visors.

I obviously want the Rosen ones that ICON uses, but nah. Not spending that much cash on them.

Mine aren't sagging badly, but the upholstery is kinda dirty, I don't use the mirror and I basically just want something sturdier.

So I wanted to probe the experts to see if y'all had any suggestions. Retro fit to something sturdier would be ideal, no just a OEM replacement.

Thanks!

Am in a similar situation. Looking forward to hearing what options are out there. Thanks for posting.

I've been considering an attempt at making some out of Kydex (same material that's used for holsters). Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but plans are coming together...

I think some people have done write ups here using Tundra or Sequoia visors. I think some one showed that certain year Mustang visors work well too.

I did the super magnet mod yesterday and so far I'm very happy with it.

i guess yours were sagging? not really a problem in my rig, i just don't like them and want something beefier.

I found the super magnet thread once and can't seen to again, can you post a link?

I put a couple super magnets on each side in headliner wrapped with electric tape on all but bottom. Then I ran a bolt with washers on both sides through visor. Then 2 more magnets, I can put stuff between them. Very handy.

Scrubbed mine with Folex carpet cleaner (Home Depot) and heavy duty Dawn.

Can an upholstery shop make them? Or re-cover the existing visors?

Yea I'm sure a shop could

I think the 100 Series LC also fit. Might be an option.

They fit with some sanding of the arm and visor holder. It's what i'm using.

When mine fail I will remove them and take to Upholstery shop to be wrapped in Vinyl.

The Rosen' s are $285.00 a pair .... not a bad price for quality visors that tilt swivel and extend. I've had mine for a few years and they are perfect

I replaced both of mine for exactly the same reason, drooping. I used small bungee cords to hold them up for a couple of years. I finally bought non-US OEM ones (gray) from Cruiserparts.net . They don't have the vanity light or mirrors, but I don't use them anyway. At the time they were $75 each, about a year ago.

I finally replace my drivers side visor last week and wish I did it a year and a half ago when my original final gave up the ghost. So worth the $75.
