Warning for Cabrio Owners, don't let this happen to you - it's not too late!!!

I just noticed that my sun visors are faded on the flip-side - DUH.

Since I'm topless almost 100% of my driving time (in Sunny Southern California), I took all kinds of precautions to UV protect my baby, but forgot the sunscreen on the visors! Now I'm gonna have to really work on them to restore the uniformity.

At least I caught before it got too horrible (I'm such a bad mommy).

Yeah Yeah rub it in why don't you!

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

Whoopdie do, just buy new ones. They are cheap. Then put the right stuff on them, and don't worry about it.

Rather than buy new ones, I covered it in 303 Aerospace protectant and the noticeable fading went away. This should prevent it from continuing.

Just thought I'd mention it in case there were other "Obsessed with Pristine" Cab owners.
