Default Cracked window visor fix?

Hey guys, I ordered a set of jdm visors and the rear driver one cracked during shipping. I'm planning to use spray adhesive to seal the cracks back up but is there a way to repair the visual cracks? Here's a picture of how it looks.

Also if anyone has an extra rear driver visor or one they don't need, I might be interested in buying it off ya. Thanks!

I've tried to fix my cracked passenger front a couple of times, none of which have worked to fix the visual aspect of things. With that said, I have a brand new set that i'm prepping to put on the car, which will mean I have a spare driver and passenger rear. Once its off, if cost permits I wouldn't mind shipping the drivers side rear your way.

Well that's unfortunate and YES please let me know when you take them off! Much appreciated!

I would ask around at plastics shops if they can help you, there are special glues used for acrylics that can "melt" them together and get you a strong repair and also the most seamless.
