I guess disassembling become more difficult as gadgets and do-dad are added to the lowly sun visor as time passes. It’s part of the technician half that helps you decide how to take apart something that was not designed to be opened. Now, power, ground, connectors, lights and sometimes sensors are added. Marketing just won’t stop adding things. At a dealer, a salesman brought a lady who had informed questions that is answer about 4X4 the mechanical. I forgot about it. 5 weeks later, she walk over to thank me for answering her questions so she could understand. Then done, I asked “What did you buy?” She answered with another brand! I asked “May I ask why?” She said sure, it had more cup holders! Silently thinking, cup holders? Are we a dehydrated society? No clue. As they said in the 70’s, different strokes for different folks! Ah?
Thanks kindly for sharing.
Hello Dean, I know right? They did away with ash trays... Go cup holders! Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you, I was trying to understand the best way to attack a sunvisor like this for my car
Great video! I just found your channel and I really like all of your videos! You have a sense of humor and you can break the steps down for all of us to follow thank you!
Hello Knightly, Thank you for all of your kind words, I really appreciate you. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks for this demonstartion. I would have NOT tried to repair a sunvisor without watching this.
Hello Jd, You are so welcome! Now you can go forth and create many clam shell type sun visors grasshopper... Hehe Please keep liking and watching!
WOW, after watching how hard those are to get apart, I think I’m going to have to go watch some Old School Roadrunner cartoons and see if I can get a phone number for Acme to order some of that dynamite, that Wile E Coyote used. We all know that Old School is the best and I also realized after watching this video, I’m a collector, any thing over 3 is a collection 😝. Love your videos. I might not ever do my sun visors, but I’ll keep enjoying watching your videos 👍🏼
Hello Paul, I'd have to say that the second one came apart a lot easier. Sometimes we struggle, but we always see it through to the end don't we? Please keep liking and watching!
I've often wondered how this style of visor was recovered. Thanks for the video!
Hello By, You are so welcome! I hope this video has been helpful for you. Please keep liking and watching!
It was surprising to see how much effort it took to open the visor. You’re brave using black. Nice finished pieces.
Hello Clint, Yea, that one was really stuck together pretty good. The second one wasn't so bad. Please keep liking and watching!
just what I was looking for. You even did it for the Dodge Ram truck I'm working on. Thanks!
Hello Usc, You are so welcome! I hope my videos can be helpful to you. I think you will do just fine with your Ram truck. Please keep liking and watching!
I have a pair to do. I've been waiting for this video for months! Thank you ever so much for sharing this trade. And yes, I have mirrors on both of them!
Hello Clyde, Nailed it! I hope this can be helpful to you. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Please keep liking and watching!
Yeah, I tried this on a Chrysler visor.... glued together. Really glued.
Went to the wrecking yard and bought two visors.
Three Phillips screws, job done.
Old visors in the trash
Hello Lou, Like I always say, there is always more than one way of getting things done. Please keep liking and watching!
First thumbs up. Never miss a video
Hello J, Yep, that was quick! Thanks for hanging in there with me! Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholsteryare you kidding me? Of course I will, watching others work is what I do best 😅
@@jseal21 Hello J, I guess that would be the easiest, would'nt it? Please keep liking and watching!
great video.. You impart much confidence.
As of a few years ago, I have totally given up on using silicone glues / caulks etc and am now using "Lexel" products. They come in clear, black & white; they CAN be capped and within reason, do not dry out in the tube (the tip screws onto the tube and can be removed to pull out any thickened material if it was not tightly capped.. NOTE; the supplied tip IS already pre-punched!)... If not careful, it can be a bit messy.(NO where as messy as Butyl rubber tho..). solvent, not water clean-up. Stays rubbery forever and does not mildew like silicone. And it flows well in larger amounts.
Thanks again for your work.. I bookmark EVERY one!
Hello STE, Wow, what a great tip for us all. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Please keep liking and watching!
Well that is one way to do it, we have covered those and just tucked the material in and they turned out well. Whatever works for you.
Hello Mt, Yep you are right. There is always more than one way to get things done. Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks for the videos. Can you please demonstrate patterning and sewing bolsters on seats like the late 1980s Recaros.
Hello Eric, I do have some videos showing just that. Making patterns for seats. Check out my channel. Please keep liking and watching!
I love your videos. Thank you!
Hello Dana, You are so welcome! Thank you so much for saying so! Please keep liking and watching!
Sun visor looks familiar to my Jaguar. I tried taking mines apart. What a headache. I declined to proceed 😥
Hello Candy, Yep sometimes the going gets tough. Just don't give up. Please keep liking and watching!
What if the sun visor is a bit older like '72 International pickup vintage with a stitched band on the edge? At least one if not both mirrors, the edge band is loose about 6 inches.
Hello Brian, A bound edge visor is harder to do. This clam style visor would be easier to do. th-cam.com/video/SwOj55QguSQ/w-d-xo.html Please keep liking and watching!
Wow!!
Hello Unfinished, Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Please keep liking and watching!
What type of glue works best
Hello Jayson, I only use contact adhesive for everything for 44 years. Please keep liking and watching!
The mirror part should have been cleaned prior to the new fabric. Just to make the procedure correct
Hello Mac, Sure you could look at it that way. Either way it got done. Please keep liking and watching!
Please add a link to your video showing the correct procedures, mac. After all, Rudy was generous enough to show his process, certainly you would not pick apart his process without having a video of your own. That would be lame.
Thank you for the video! The way I did mine worked ok, but your process results in a tidier result.
@@ShadowsOnTheScreen Hello Shadows, You are so welcome! I'm glad yours worked out ok. Please keep liking and watching!
@@ShadowsOnTheScreen Hello Shadows, That is the test. Ask how many sun visors he's done in his two years of experience right? But I'm not going to do that... I was also going to tell him that I wasn't going to change the customers motor oil either. But I didn't. Please keep liking and watching!
Does anyone actually their Sun Visor?
Hello Duck, I make these videos so maybe people can be inspired to try it them selves, especially if they want to try to save money. Please keep liking and watching!
Getting them apart doesn't seem like much fun.
Hello Tom, Getting that one apart was a struggle and worst case scenario. They are usually not that difficult. The second one went a lot faster. Please keep liking and watching!
Outcome was great but could tell you struggled from start to finish. lol
Hello Duck, Yep, sometimes it's a struggle, but we get through it don't we? I don't keep that from my viewers seeing it. The second one was not as bad.
