Home Depot hear has lexan. I bought a small 4x6" piece even to replace
some glass around the house. They had larger. What they only have is
clear which is sort of silly for a sunvisor.

Maybe a thin coat of green paint would work too?

I distinctly remember the two green plastic replacement visors for my Baron
selling for around $50.00 a pair directly from Rosen. Didn't go for it since
the ones I had were in good shape.

Update-I called Vantage Plane Plastics and explained what I needed. I
scanned the broken visor and sent the image and dimensions to them and
they were able to identify the manufacturer (it isn't a Rosen product).
They called the manufacturer for me and were told that they were no
permitted to sell them as singles--had to sell as a pair. But they
said they could provide a blank piece of the same plastic, cut to the
size I need, and all I have to do is drill the holes. No charge.

I'll have to check again. The ones in my plane were actually 310
visors (Rosen doesn't make Navion visors, but after discussing the
various mounting options, they were the closest).

Update:

In today's mail was the replacement lucite piece . . . Vantage Plane
Plastics enclosed a copy of their fax to the manufacturer . . . the
entire replacement was done at no charge . . . not even shipping. I
will only have to do some careful drilling to resolve this entire
episode. I could not be any more pleased and satisfied. Vantage Plane
Plastics gets ALL my business from now on for anything I need that they
supply.
