 |
|
I am restoring a 59 Euro bug (build date 8/5 . I have a set of the rare 58-early 59 plastic sun visors but they are a little warped. Anyone have any experience straightening these things our? Should I lay them out in the hot Texas sun until they get soft and then put a flat board and some weight on them or will a heat gun be necessary. TIA Hayden |

Yes, I'd try that first.
