ABSTRACT:
A method for restoring worn or damaged sun visors for a vehicle to a like-new appearance typical of original sun visors. Any deteriorated upholstery and padding material that covers the core/frame of an original sun visor may be removed and discarded. A new cover is fabricated with an appropriate size to slip over the old visor. The cover is made by sewing together front and rear panels along about 50 percent of their juxtaposed edges. Each panel is shaped like the original core, and has a structural base made of a thin sheet of chipboard or the like; each panel is sufficiently stiff as to be self-supporting. Each panel is cosmetically completed by providing it with an outer covering of finished upholstery material or the like. The slip cover may be placed about a visor core, or about an entire visor, to provide a new outer surface. Once the new slip cover has been slipped over the visor core, the confronting edges along that part of the cover that is still open are then secured to one another, preferably with a fastener like Velcro. This permits the new slip cover to be removed at a later time, if desired, for cleaning, etc. The visor core or old visor may be enveloped with the new slip cover while the structural core is still affixed to a vehicle, or the visor may be removed--and the repair work done on a workbench.
