What this sun visor problem?
I hear SVX's have a problem with the sun visors sagging. I think my passenger side is having the issue
Can someone explain it? Any way to fix it? |

There are a couple of fixes in the How-To Documents. The one link is one of them and there is another one as well. Good luck.

Whats going on with mine is the flap that covers the vanity mirror wont stay closed on the passenger side. Never seen a car do it before. It just annoys me. But the visor is not sagging.

Im from Colorado too, but I dont get the "balloon" effect, so im not sure it has to do with altitude at all. However, mine do droop rather badly.

I'm having similar issues with the driver side visor, the vanity mirror flap doesn't stick to the magnet. It's interesting that this visor is less than three years old. Upon comparing the magnet strength with the original, sagging passenger sun visor magnet, it appears that the passenger magnet is four times stronger than the driver side magnet! Just a FYI.

Re: What this sun visor problem?
I don't "primp" at all but it's freaking annoying to have the flap in my line of sight while driving into the sun. We have a lot of sun here in NM.
