Here's another goodie.
Both sunvisors in my '75 280SE are discoloured.
The off-white colour of the plastic covering has brown patches on it, mostly on the side that is folded against the roof.
I mention this because I first saw this on a 450SLC I had a couple of years back, and had assumed the previous owner was a heavy smoker - although that would not explain similar stains on the passenger side.
Then I noticed the same in one of my W123 280E sedans.
And in my 280SE too, so I thought this must be a common fault here, so is it due to the sun's heat getting through the roof?
Or?
Any known fix?
Or do I just try a can of nearly matching vinyl paint?
Failing that, anyone got a nice clean pair of cream coloured visors for a W116?
Thanks,
Chris
