sun visor is broken. help fix please

[BLLDOGG]

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.

well, can anyone explain how the visor joint works if you dont know how to fix it. is there like a ball holding it in? by the way, i have searched.

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.

update. there is a spring i found in the driver side but not in the passanger

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]
