just pull them I guess. I had a friend do mine, and need to get them re-done. I got some crushed velvet shit cuz it looked pimp, but u can't get it wet. Fuck that. I am going blue vinyl when I see him again. I think you just pull them apart, wrap each side, and glue them back together with some strong shit.

sure... I know how. I put a 5" tv in my passenger side visor. Acually its pretty easy to re-cover. There are no seams. The edges of the fabric go into the edge of the visor and little "teeth" hold it into place. You need some material from an aphostery shop w/ about a 1/4" pad behind it so your visor will look like it was originally. Most fabric comes w/ it already. First tape off everything that you dont want to be sprayed w/ glue. Next you need to cut the fabric out so that you have about an inch hanging over. Its better to have more than not enought to cover it. Then you will need to spray the visor (one side at a time) with some "3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive." It costs about $10 for a can but it is well worth getting the good stuff. You also need to spray the back of the fabric. Then wait about 2 minutes and then lay the visor on the fabric. Now there should be an instant bond. Next, use a screwdriver to push the edges of the fabric into the edges of the visor. Do the same for the other side. Thats about it. Any more questions?
