shelby69 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I received my visor back from Carroll Shelby's Children's Foundation. Very nice signature, however, the visor connection has been forced flat, not a good thing and now it does not stay in the up position. The Foundation states that it is not responsible for damaged parts but has anyone else run into this? I'm probably not too opposed to buying another visor (since its for charity) but I'd rather not have to pay $215.00 again for another signature (and another possiblity of incorrect visor handling). Regardless, if anyone else has had any problems like this, I'd appreciate their input. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelby69 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I am curious how that happened? What was it packed in ? Thanks, Sue I packed it in a nice fat box, because it does not lie flat. If you remove it, you can see it is spring loaded and does not sit flat. Well, CSCF managed to put it in a nice flat box for return. Now the spring is sprung and the holder rod just falls right out of the visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage1969 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 What if you bought a new visor and just swapped the mounts with the signed visor? Would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT1171 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 69Shelby, I sent mine in in a nice fat box also. Haven't got it back yet. Will let you know. How long did it take for you to get yours back? I guess the mirror cover can't be put on a new visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelby69 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Savage - the rod is actually separated from the visor. It appears that everything is sewn together so repair is probably not an option (I'm open for suggestions). I'm hopeful that the mirror cover, which is the signed piece, can be traded out, but I haven't tried to remove it yet (the signature looks great - has the CSM # and everything). Phil - right at 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage1969 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 69, I see what your saying. As soon as I cut my guys their checks, I will go home, remove mine and see if I can help. Hopefully there will be a way to either remove the rod without damage or remove the mirror door successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sweating it, but it turned out OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2+2 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I sent them my glove box door for my 65' and it came back great. I bubble wraped it, and bubble wraped it again. It came back in the same box. The glove Box door is actually in my living room now it looks so good.. Hated to put it back on the car. How bad have you got it it?
