Yes they have, You can "wrap" them fairly easy. I do believe there is a semi-recent post about it but I just woke up. Basically what you do is measure the material, cut it, then just stuff the material into the seam of the visor. If that makes sense.

I remember reading this same post, I'm sure if you do a little searching in this section you can find it.

Yea i believe it was my post in someone else's thread if you want to search it but the short is like they said. Cut the length you need, and tuck it using a flat putty knife, you can use a flathead screwdriver if you must but it's a lot easier to poke a hole in the material that way.

I can't believe that none of you people crack the sun visors open and recover them like that. I've done one so far and just need to finish up the second one.

What do you mean no one? There have been several suggesting that is the way to do it. Why haven't I re-done mine? I don't need to ;)

Does anyone have any pictures of this? I looked up the old post and saw those, they looked great. I was just wondering if anyone else had any of visors they have redone?

Yea. I used a pocket knife when I did the passenger side. I slid it in and slowly twisted. It's going to pop when the glue breaks loose and it will sound like you broke something. As long as you are careful, you should be fine though.
