Mk1 sun visor
I managed to make a hole in my interior sun visor on my drivers side, the left side. The colour is grey but there is a slight shade of purple in the velour so difficult to tell the precise colour.
I presume they are hard to find but hope for the best. I realize this wouldnt be the drivers side for you but that doesnt really matter.
So, any stuff out there? And it really need to be in a good state.

Re: Mk1 sun visor
I think the sun visors were the same on Mk1 and Mk2 models Henrik, in which case i think i have a spare passenger one (complete with illuminated mirror) that came from my Coupe. SIlly question - is the graduated shadeband at the top of the screen causing a purple tinge on the light grey velour?

Re: Mk1 sun visor

Re: Mk1 sun visor
Ouch! That's definitely a hole!
A couple of things come to mind, i'm quite happy to hunt for the sun visor but i know how expensive it can be to post to Sweden and i'm not sure how good a condition it's in, after all there's a reason i changed it in my Coupe and i can't remember what it was now!
Second thing is i know Mark (Fastback) has done some things using something similar to this :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274548489768
Worked out very well as i recall. It might be more cost effective to by a 1.5 x 1m piece and the trim fix adhesive they sell and simply lay a new piece over the damaged piece, do the other visor to match and nobody would be any the wiser. Get a large enough piece and you could do the complete headliner as well to really make it a nice match!
At the moment it's monsoon season today so no hope of me hunting in the shed for the visor i have but i'll find it once we have dry weather again (the Met Office have threatened it will be dry as soon as tomorrow! ) and let you know.

Re: Mk1 sun visor
Thanks Dave!
I did have an idea of putting some new velour over the old. I even have a couple of extra door cards with the same velour in them but it would be a lot easier just swapping them over.

Re: Mk1 sun visor
I’ve located a pair of grey sun visors in Sweden so swapping the pair over could be a good solution. Still waiting to hear the price though…

Re: Mk1 sun visor
That's good news Henrik - keep me posted as it might save me exacavating the shed! Just had a quick look while getting something else and couldn't see it in the expected locations.

Re: Mk1 sun visor
Still in need of this. And after looking in my coupe I can tell the sun visors are the same from Mk1 and mk2.

I'll have a look sometime this coming week Henrik, weather permitting! I need to sort out all my Rover spares anyway but that's another story!

Re: Mk1 sun visor
Hello Henrik, if you still need these I have a pair from a Mk2 Vitesse. From memory they do not have have the courtesy lights fitted. They are grey.
If you are interested please let me know and I will take some pictures for you.
Regards
Simon
