  • sun visor is broken. help fix please

    heres the story, when i got my car last summer my car had a broken sun visor on the passanger side and i still have then visor under my seat. well, today after leaving taco bell, i adjusted my driver side visor and it came out. i can stick it in and it stays but when i move it, it falls. both visor look identical. by that, i mean like the end that is in the head liner. can anyone tell me how to fix the damn things. i care so much cause my driver side one holds my radar detector.

        Do you still have the little spring and stuff that came out?
        I had the same problem, all I did was get washer big enogh to hold the spring in place and I held it down with a screw using the hole that is in the visor arm allready. You'll have to take the mounting that is held by the 3 screws on the roof first.

          i dont believe the passanger side had any spring but i will look on my driver side right now. it might have fallen on the floor in the car when it fell.

            here what i got. no springs or anything. i havent opened the diver side yet but im guessing the spring wont be in there. all i have is the visor, black elbow, and then a metal hallow shaft that is kinda rinkled at the end like its holding something. im guess it is suppose to hola a spring? i'll open the driver side triangle thing and see what in it. also, i have opened the passanger side before and never saw anything. i would figure if a spring fell off up there it might roll/fall somewhere else above the head liner.

                Same exact thing happened to my driver's side sun visor only weeks after I bought the car. But the car had 73,000 on it. It's a '97 and I bought it in '01. I just went to the dealer and bought a new one for about $50. :rolleyes: The thing probably costs them about $5 to make. :mad:

                      update: i fixed the driver side by using a washer and screwing down the shaft. i did the same thing on the passanger side too. i just found a spring that fit that was laying my garage. i finally have a sun visor on my passanger side [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

                      i spent the whole day going through salvage yards finding the little **** that was wrong with my car when i got it. plus, for all you who know about my finder that is dented, i found one that is in perfect condition and the same color as my car i looking at. i just have to ask a buddy if he will want to weld it on for me. great day yesterday [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
