Sagging Sun Visors - What are my options?

Well somehow my sun visors are sagging but my headliner is good. What are my options?

I know Jim85Iroc sells replacement visors and I could probably get them recovered at an upholstery shop.

If I have them recovered, does anyone sell cloth or vinyl that is a dead match for the material in my car?

If I go with a replacement, how closely does the material match the stock stuff?

Thanks!
Bill

I would personally get some out of a 4th gen. The ones I got were reasonably priced compared to everything else around here in the junk yards, and they look great.

Axle/Gears: 10 bolt 3.42(as long as no breaky)
I took a small piece of house siding ( or any other bendable plastic) and wraped that around the metal shaft that goes inside the actual visor from the mount. The other piece of plastic in there was all torn to hell, and i had to remove that. It took some tooling around with but eventually i got everything to fit ect. and works as good as new.
