Sun Visors
« on: February 26, 2016, 20:39:43 »
I noticed that my visors are a different color than that of my interior--are they supposed to be?
Also, I know that the are molded but are they supposed to be "squishy"

Regards
Steven

The visor is supposed to match the inside of the Hardtop and not squishy.

They could have yellowed over the years. My once light grey sun visors look almost creme colored now.
Sun Visors were paired with certain color headliners and interior. See build sheets at the bottom of this link.

There is a member in London that has reproduce that are made in China and look really great. You might consider these to replace yours. They are much cheaper then the originals sold by MB Classic Center.
