    I like how all the trim is the original color makes it look like it came that way from the factory, if I ever get the nerves up I'm going to attempt this, but +rep for a factory looking job there............

    you spray and apply, working it slowly on as you lay the cloth...its extremely hard/impossible to show you that with only one person there to do the DIY...

    I have been receiving countless PMs with ppl wanting to know where I purchased the fabric. It has been on page 3 but I have now updated the original post with the link to the fabric.

    I have also been getting asked about the visors so here is that info...


    Re: Question about DIY sun visors.
    Quote: Originally Posted by qwick

    you doing your mistu? I dont know how those are made, however my honda ones were basically just stuffed together.

    there are teeth around 90% of the visor where both side of the fabric was shoved into the teeth and they held on to it. when I removed my old fabric I made sure to keep it whole and then use that as a template to trace, make sure to leave about 1/2 inch around the template.

    Quote: Originally Posted by qwick

If you look at my sun visors they look sewn together in some areas but in others it looks as if its tucked in to the seam, similar to what you mentioned above.Did yours look like this? Also what did you use to push the fabric in to these teeth you mentioned, a flat blade screwdriver or were you able to get it in with a finger?

    Quote: Originally Posted by Nittanys1
    i had nothing that was sowed together. I used a flat head that was fat rather then sharp, so it didnt cut through the fabric. I also had a small hammer to help tap the screw driver, my hand got tired and sore fast without the hammer.
