 |
|
| I pulled a rear view mirror with the black plastic sun visors from a '58 yesterday. One of the visors is warped and since I'm a careless 'tard, the passenger side visor cracked. Is there any place I can get reproduction plastic visors? |

| '58 and '59 visors are unique as they have rounded corners. Oval window (square type) will work, but bon't fit correctly because your mirror is wider. |

| Also, are there not color differences? The "black" plastic would actually be a dark green when new and not UV-aged; and Vw also had "orange" visors? On ovals, maybe? |

was an option. first year for 2 visors is 1961. 1960 still had 1 viser and was padded and vynal pattern was lines. 1961 had leatherette pattern. my 52 had gray not green visors. so your visers are 1958/1959 only.
