i can tell you how i did mine, i can't really show you tho cuz i didn't take any pics.
i traced the outline of the visor on the backside of the piece of material i wanted to recover it with.
Put 2 pieces of material together with the sides of the visor that will be showing facing each other, your basically gonna sew it inside out. then i cut out the pattern on the 2 pieces of material, leaving a 1/2 inch of extra material all the way around.
i sewed 3 1/2 of the 4 sides with a sewing machine leaving just eough of a hole so that i could slip the visor into its new skin.
turn it inside out (remember since you sewed them inside out, the one you traced off the left visor will now cover the right visor, and the one you traced off the left will cover the right one.)
Put the visor in its new case keep the material folded and nice and tight, and sew the hole closed. Leave a little hole for where the clip attaches, and poke a hole in theend to put the visor rod back thru so you can put it back up on the roof.
if you have a mirror you wanna cut out for, cut a hole about 1/2 inch smaller then the mirror and tuck the fabric underneath the edges using a butter knife.
hope this is what you were looking for.
