Sunvisor recovering group buy will need your cores, This will include a mirror installed like OEM Options

There seems to be enough interest to put this together. I have an upholsty guy that that can redo the visors, but need cores to refurbish. Originally I was planning to make the internal structure, but it would save some time and effort (as well as cash) to just use the old substructure.

You would be looking at a high quality vinyl that would be stitched on the edges. I know the OEM was thermally bonded, but the cost to set up and do that would double the cost at less that 100 sets. So, they're not exactly like OEM, but they will have the mirror sewn in like the OEM.

I'm working on the sample with the mirror, and will have it in a few weeks.

I will also make new visor clips available if you wish for $50 a set of all 3. These are the ones with the stainless pins. This will be only to those that are in on the visor refurb deal.

Just chime in on the thread here to get yourself on the list. As soon as it looks like we've got the 20 sets, I'll send the details.

Thanks, I need to do a set myself, so this will help me too.

Here's is a picture of a protype.

I had looked into the thermal bonding also, Basically, dies are created to do the bonding, that's the expense. The $500 was better that the final price I was lookibng at. There were several ops, and the $500 probably only coverd the edges.

Also the numbers we are looking at from Vinly specialties do not include the mirror, and the mirror they have screws onto the substructure. This will not work for our visors. The have to be sewn in (or thermally bonded, secondary operation more$$$). This normally cracks the mirror. I will be doing a test part in the next 2 weeks to assure I have this under control, but I'm 99% sure it will not be a problem the way I plan to do it.
As far as the deletes and the pivots go, there's probably not enough demand to fabricate these, but I suspect there are other ones that could be modified for both applications.
The only issue I could see on the pivots is the mounting. There needs to be enough substructure to support the loads of pivoting (and if you want them to sty in place you'll have to crank them down a bit), and vibration that the original would have never encountered.
Maybe not an issue but worth looking into before going that route.
