Hey everyone!
I'm currently having my slicktop headliner, pillars, and parcel shelf reupholstered in Alcantara. I am wanting to have the sun visors done as well, but the shop I went to let me know that they most likely wouldn't be able to make them look factory and retain functionality of the mirrors. My goal is to have everything look factory, so I had him skip those while I figure out a solution. Most options that I've seen online (euroconnex, bmwrestoredseats, etc.) seem to work around this by deleting and filling in the mirrors, which is something I would like avoid as much as possible.
For those of you who have had yours reupholstered, how did you deal with this? Was your shop/person able to wrap them in a way that looked factory and retained the mirrors? Or are there factory Alcantara/leather sun visor options from other models (e39, e60, e63, etc.) that are interchangeable with the e46?
Or am I choosing a weird hill to die on and should just go the easy route and delete the mirrors?
Thanks in advance!
