Time for new sun visors - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Z51JEFF · 1 Week Ago

Anybody bought the aftermarket sun visors,anything negative about the quality? I have a NOS set but can't see putting them in the car if they will eventually fall apart. This may be one of those instances where an aftermarket part my be better than the original. Thanks for any info.

I was fortunate to find a guy doing C5,6 and 7 visors in leather. Asked if he could do a C4. He said he would and I sent him my visors so he could make a template and he did them in leather. Don't know if he would do more but that took care of my visor dog ears issues.

I bought repros recently. They differ from OE in that they don?t have the flappy ?ear? on the outboard side that always hangs down, broken, on the stock ones. They also don?t have the warning stickers on the vanity mirrors. The articulation is pretty notchy when you fold them down or swivel them. Overall, acceptable for $35 if originality isn?t a consideration, but I would have paid $50 if they were nicer and more accurate.
