Default Good fix for sun-faded visors

I bought some of the plaques that cover the airbag stickers on the visors, but i couldn't justify putting them on my ugly faded visors. I used spray-on bed liner from an auto parts store on the cloth side. It was a quick easy fix- should be durable and stand up to the sun.

Thanks


I would encourage anyone to do this. The bed liner sticks really well. You can still see the difference in texture between the original and faded portions (as seen in the pic), but it looks a heck of a lot better.

Would have never thought it would work.

I however removed my visors completely, but if I ever put them back and they get faded I'll know what to use.

Wow, i would have thought >$100. They will just fade again though. I think the bed liner will hold up.

I got them from http://teamtadashi.com/visors/ . I am really happy with them. They are $25 (free shipping within the US) for the set of 4. They match the door sills perfectly.
