re-upholster sunvisors? Options

[MisterRay]

Hi folks, i have a couple of quick questions regarding upholstering.

I'm planning on re-upholstering my headliner with synthetic leather (which is the easy bit) and was wondering has any one else re-upholstered their sun visors? and how would i go abouts doing this? I was thinking maybe I should Contact Cement the material to the sun visors? i don't want the headliner to be black and sun visors to be grey lol

any help regarding the matter would be greatly appreciated

p.s apologies if people have milked this question already! Can't seem to find anything on it though

I've done this for a few people now and it can be a bit of a chore to do. The hardest parts (in my opinion) are working round the mirrors in them and also getting a nice join along the top edge where the visor clips into it's mounts.

If you make the cover so it's a snug fit, you should only need glue along the top and round the mirrors (if you sew the sides, of course). I'd strongly recommend a high-temp adhesive as it'll all fall apart otherwise!
