all of the above. (maybe not #3)
If those fail, it might not be that terribly $$$ even at a dealership parts dept. 2/13/2008 1:00:00 PM |

one could be had out of a junkyard a little cheaper but just remember that they are called junkyards for a reason. 2/13/2008 4:28:43 PM |

How old is your car? That may determine whether or not the junkyard route is worth your while, or a waste of time.
Then again I found some perfectly nice sun visors for my '79 Malibu in a junkyard once. This was a while ago, but the car was almost 20 years old at the time.
Also depends on if the hard part of the visor is solid/in good shape, or if it's cracked/warped/broken.

I think replacement sun visors on my brother's honda civic was pretty expensive. Something like $150, but they were new from the dealership.
I guess it depends on the manufacturer and how bad the shape yours is in. There's a spot in downtown raleigh that does upholstery that did a great job on my old jeep (the headliner was falling down and looked like ass). Maybe they could just put new fabric on your dying one?
Here it was! These guys, right by those railroad tracks: http://www.autointeriorsandtops.com/
Did a fantastic job and I think they did the whole headliner for $150-300 or so. I don't remember (I've long since written that car and its expenses off in my memory). It seemed reasonable at the time, I'd at least suggest them for a quote. 2/13/2008 4:38:10 PM |
