Personally what I would do in this situation is I would carefully remove the visor prong by prong. I would be especially careful not to rip it. then I would place the foam part of the visor sandwiched between two large pieces of something heavy. Something hard and heavy maybe books maybe steel whatever you have. leave it there for a couple of weeks then put it back on the visor frame the same way you took it off the prongs in the first place. that’s what I would do anyway.

that’s possible. But what if it creases it sideways? or shoudl I just lay it flat?

Just lay it flat that’s the best way I think to fix it.

I am just worried that it’ll distort the shape even more..

Putting something too heavy on it might crush the foam. Put just enough weight on it to keep it lying flat, and leave it for a week or so and it should be fine.

If you need it right now, you could probably use a low-temperature clothes iron on it, but it’s probably overkill.

BTW, morintari’s right about there being a very specific way to remove it from and replace it on the visor holder. Consult page 18 of the VB manual.

Also, the fact that you’re wearing a red shirt in that photo isn’t irony 😛 😉 It probably falls under the heading “coincidence”.

Yeah, I’d just remove it and keep it flat for a while. The replacements shipped flat, so that shouldn’t be a problem.

Currently under a book being weighed down with 1000 metal BB pellets.

Day 2 results… Crease is deCREASing.. I’m too funny. But in all seriousness thanks for everyone’s suggestions, I kinda morphed them into my own, I found a book that fit inside the visor(still on the plastic loopy thing) and put a bigger one under it, then put a(n) 1.5-3lb ting of metal pellet gun BB’s.

Took it out for a bit, let the foam regain shape. But it is less curved, now.
