Yes - I did buy them new from my local Subaru Spare Parts outlet, and they cost me about.............................
...............are you sitting down?
................$350..........EACH!!!!
The driver's side visor was actually in stock at Subaru's main Australian parts warehouse!
.........but the passenger side visor had to be ordered from Japan.
When comparing the original visors to the new ones, it is immediately apparent that Subaru changed the design of the hinge mechanism to prevent drooping.
More importantly however, they also changed the manner in which the illuminated vanity mirror wiring is routed through the hinge, and it appears that this will indeed prevent the wiring from splitting and shorting out. (this happened to both of my original visors!!)
Now..............who wants to buy a pair of used SVX sun visors?
I should point out that my original visors did NOT droop, but I thought that I should get new ones - while they were still available!!!!
