Wagon sun visors material
Ok, I know the wagons and trucks used a fiber board material instead of the nice padded visors cars used. What are people using for visors, I don’t see any reproduction visors made for wagons.

Re: Wagon sun visors material
Station wagons didn't use the standard car visors? Seems odd. Don't the standard car visors fit (mount the same) ?

Re: Wagon sun visors material
1957 Ford wagons use the same as the cars these are hard to cover and it’s thick foam heat sealed edge onto the bracket. I found a couple clean sets on eBay.

After '56, some models had vinyl padding, but the internal components were similar to previous years. Obviously, the outer cardboard veneer rots and flakes apart by the time the visor gets around 20 years old. When I redid mine, I cut out my own cardboard to match the original, made the two bends in the middle (to go around the tin u-shaped bracket) and stapled the top of the halves together. Then painted a coat of wood preservative over the cardboard. I took them down to the local auto upholsterer with vinyl material matching my seats and interior door panels and had them cover the visors for me. Back then, it was very cheap. But it wasn't factory original, nor is any of my car(s) interior upholstery. |
