Is there a way without buying new, to reform the sin visors back to the way they are supposed to be? Who ever had the truck before me i think used to keep a stack of papers or whatever up there and now it's deformed.

Deformed or just doesn't stay up against the headliner?

You can have any upholstery shop recover them inexpensively, you may have to lose the mirrors if you have them though.

They tend to warp over time, which is what I think he's referring to. My 2003's are that way. I know some you can still get new from Nissan, but they aren't cheap. I would assume a custom upholstery shop would be able to rebuild them but at what cost, I do not know.

I bought new ones off Ebay a few years ago .
They were about $70-80 ea.

I would think so; inside is just cardboard. I'd guess an upholstery place could use masonite or similar instead.

I checked with one upholstery shop and they wanted like 40 bucks each to redo mine so I just figured I'd buy new ones instead.

But my decision was based mostly on the messed up attitude that guy had. He acted like i was bothering him.

I'll bet new ones aren't cheap either !

On my 1998 Frontier, the inside of the visor is cardboard.

There was a thread posted here approximately 6 months ago that is about recovering the sun visors with pics.
I don't remember which CF member posted it but I'm sure you can find it with a quick search.

Okay it was about a year ago. Here's a link to it.

This is a thread to keep track of the things I do to the truck along the way. I had a giant tree branch total my 02 Civic roof January 2020 due to ice/snow/wind. I took the 2k cash and picked up this truck from a local farmer for 3k who was just using it as a parts runner. 140k, good tires, ABS...

I got a visor out of a 1st Gen Xterra and who would've knew it wouldn't work in the Frontier. Everything is the same from the front seats to the windshield but the Xterra visor was a tad too short. Go figure.

I wonder if the difference is in the earlier 1st gen Frontiers because i had got a visor from a JY 1st gen 02 Xterra that fit perfectly in my 04.

I know the A pillar trim on the 98-01 Frontiers are different than 02-04.

In addition to my wife recovering the visor in up cycled denim, she put in a pocket for the truck's papers (insurance, registration).
