Title: Appia Sun Visors
Post by: John B on 22 April, 2015, 01:04:11 PM
With the evening sun low in the sky I have had the need to use the sun visors for the first time.
Not noticed before that they need a bit of a makeover, the vinyl is discoloured and one has a small split and the wire frame is distorted and feels a bit fragile.
Before I take them apart and have a go at repairs I wonder if anyone has ever found a suitable replacement?

Do you mean like coloured Perspex?     
I used to have a 1961 (same year as my Appia) Wurlitzer Jukebox ...... lots of pink and blue Perspex on that !!
