911 sun visors

[mordecaibrown]

anyone know where to get a set of reproduction mid 70's 911 sun visors for a Targa as the ones I bought were too big and too stiff where they almost hit you in the forehead!

Sam,

I found an outfit that will rebuild your originals. They said they can even crease them to wrap upward like ones sold at an exuberant price.

I need this done as well and will post the contact info when I locate it unless you want to go another route.

Cheers

Lakewell makes them and their stuff is usually pretty good

I'm interested in the name of the visor re-build place also. I also bought a set of repros that don't fit well.

Information please

Vinyl Specialties --- Interior Auto Sunvisors will rebuild yours for you. They did mine - look great. Only downside is they can't put the mirror in on the passenger side.

I just received mine (82 SC) back from Vinyl Specialties and they look nice but found when I went to install them yesterday that they no longer fit, a bit too much material used on both visors has buggered up the fit where they click into the center clips (interfering with headliner).

I have a call into Darren (owner/operator); hopefully he resolves quickly/properly. I will update this thread, but wouldn't want any of you to have the same problem.

Vinyl Specialties did mine. They fit good and look good. If you are a concourse perfectionist you will hate them.

[MotorBene]

Sweet. Will check those guys out.

About three years ago I got a pair of sun visors for my 81 SC from a German company I found on eBay. If I recall they were about half of the price of new ones I found from vendors from here. I have been very happy with them and I imagine with the exchange rate being more favorable than it was then, they should be even more reasonable today.

yeah repair seems to be the only way for us Targa guys as they are a bit different. I have a couple of puffer fish also I need to have redone .

Anyone care to post costs for the work ? I imagine its going to be the same for everyone so its not like its personal information

Lakewell make an excellent product.

Vinyl Specialties looks like a good place to have them reconditioned. I think I will send my originals into them!

Thanks,

Sam

I shipped mine back to Darren at Vinyl Specialties today, with taped lines to show why and where they don't fit. Hopefully he sorts them out. BTW, you asked about cost: $80 plus $16 shipping is what he charged me. John

John in CT a few years ago I had a problem with a vendor and made a similar post to yours, which you flamed me for doing (i.e. Posting about a problem before the vendor had a chance to fix the problem was, in your view, poor taste.)

Don't want to start a flame war, just thought I'd remind you of that. Cheers!

Wow and you will never forget huh? Lol how do you remember who flamed you? I admire your superb memory.

[Bill Douglas]

Wow, those came out well Paul. Thanks for the pic's.

For those that have done it, what does Vinyl Specialties charge to redo a pair of visors?
