Fixing split open sun visors.
If your sun visors have opened up at the seams, here's what fixed mine.
Just squirt in Elmer's glue, then clamp it shut over night. To prevent the clamps from making permanent marks on the visor, I use those free paint stir sticks you can get at any hardware store. So squirt in the glue, put the stir sticks along the top and bottom, then add clamps. It's only been a few days, but it feels pretty solid. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...31eb5467a2.jpg |
Thanks for the write up!!
I'm having that problem right now |
There's probably a better glue to use than Elmer's, but that's what we had in the house.
|
Mine are split and stiff. Does this help with them being stiff also?
|
No, it doesn't help with the stiffness. I suspect the stiffness is the same reason they split open, because we are overtorqing them trying to move them around.
I've never had any car with sun visors so messed up. |
lol, Elmers? You should have gone to the store and picked up something else.

What did you use when you fixed your visors? |

The paint stick under the clamps is a pretty good idea, though. |
Contact cement.
Separate the two surfaces, mask where you don't want the contact cement to stay, carefully swab the contact cement on the two surfaces you want to join, let the cement dry for at least 15 minutes (until the gloss is gone and the surface no longer feels sticky), then squeeze the two pieces into one. Shouldn't be any need to clamp, but if so then the paint sticks will be handy. |
