WTB: Gray Driver's Side Sun Visor

Hello all -- I am looking to buy a gray driver's side visor that doesn't droop. The plastic on mine snapped in the super cold weather this morning

If anyone has one available, let me know!

Thanks,

Dan

Re: WTB: Gray Driver's Side Sun Visor

Is this the mod you were referring to?

My problem is that the actual arm snapped and not the piece on the inside of the visor itself. Is there another mod / hack to repair this that I wasn't aware of?

Yeah that's the one I was talking about. I was unaware that it snapped at the arm or that the coold weather would or even could effect such a thing! Sorry to hear..

The plastic seemed to be getting old and brittle anyway, I am guessing that everything constricting more in the cold made the visor more difficult to move because I gave it one push and just heard a very loud SNAP

If I unclipped it from the holder piece on the right side, it would slide off

Re: WTB: Gray Driver's Side Sun Visor

Hm.. There might be a fix for this.. I know sun visors are pretty hard to come by, which is ridiculous but true. You should post in the technical q and a section and try to find a fix too...
