VISOR repair/replacement
My visor has evidently lost its magnetic strength to keep the mirror cover flap closed (over the light switch). I use the visors somewhat as a sun blocker (almost always forward against windshield), since window tint is illegal on windshield and front side windows in my area.
Is there any good way to repair ...or should I look up replacement cost from Subaruparts.com? THANKS for your help!

Does it droop? If not, maybe try velcro. If it does droop, I think I would replace it.

I took my drooping visors apart, they don't look broken like in the pictures . What am I doing wrong? They look like solid foam

theres a plastic(maybe metal?) only far enough to connect the hinge bar to this area is worn most likely. even a couple of thousanths can cause is to go down. Thats why they used zip ties to Squeeze it all back toghether.

Falling Visor Problem.
I have replaced my driver side visor with used svx visors.
this works for a while, but replacement visors eventually fall. so i pulled out the trim around the drivers side window just enough to allow the visor to rest on it. it isn't pretty but it works well enough that i don't have to duck to see under the visor

Visor flap falling
SO....I guess the visor magnetic closure can't be fixed.....Then,where do you buy the VISOR from at a decent cost...So far, I can't get a part # or cost from Subaruparts.com...?
THANKS

Here is the 1993 SVX interior accessories page from subaruparts.com. Since all the beige visors (and other beige parts) are the same from 93 to 97, use the 1993 SVX page as a starting point when searching for beige interior parts. The 94-97 pages do not have a "sealing and trim" section to search for interior accessories.
http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=931-A I din't know why there are price differences between the US and Canadian visors

falling visors
i really think subaru should have recalled these non lasting visors.
another posibility would be to find a pair of decent visors ones that last like they should and fit the decor of the car then tap and thread new holes to fit the mounting holes of the new visor. one might have to cut a piece of metal or wood to fit the new visor mounting hardware then drill holes to fit the holes in the car then drill and thread holes in the medal adapter to mount the chosen new longer lasting visors. seems like a round about way to do it, but at least one would have visors that wouldn't soon be falling. i don't know if i would actually try this, maybe on my parts car someday if i get around to it.
