Good evening. Welcome to Tegger's Friday Night Slide Show.

<clears throat, shuffles paper, takes sip of water>

My driver's side sun visor was very much worse for the wear after sixteen
years of protecting my eyes from the damaging rays of that nuclear
holocaust flaming just 93 million miles away.

The visor felt like it was crumbling to nothing inside, and it was getting
baggy and saggy besides. Not Tegger material of course, so it needed to be
replaced.

Needless to say, I just had to slice up the old one to see what was inside
of it. You know what was in there? Foam rubber, wire, and the same sort of
corrugated cardboard you find in shipping boxes.

See for yourself.

The foam had dried out and crumbled with age. The corrugated was your
typical Asian bamboo crap, recycled umpteen times, and was also broken up.
now I know why the thing felt like flimsy cloth and sagged so badly.

Interesting is the mechanism that keeps the visor from flopping down when
you don't want it to. There is a black spring clip that bears against the
wire, providing the necessary friction against the wire frame. Simple,
cheap and reliable.

A new visor was eighty dollars at the dealer. It's probably the only thing
on my '91 'Teg that's held on by Torx screws.
