Issue: Floppy Sun Visor Mirror Cover
 

When I tried to use my sun visor mirror today, the plastic cover/flpa just won't stay propped up (aside from being generally loose fitting).


I imagine the cover is supposed to stay open based on some kind of friction/interference mechanism that isn't working properly anymore.



I have been expecting this day to come. I noticed the staying power of the mirror cover getting weaker and weaker as the summers went on. I suspect some combination of the heat and having the visors down to prop my windowshade up managed to soften/warp the hinge/stay mechanism over time.



Anyone have experience with this happening? Any suggested fixes, other than replacing the visor?


Thanks!

Pop it off put a small piece of electrical tape around the lil hinges then pop it back in

A savant of sorts?

Oh, not at all - Bubba and I think a lot alike a lot of times - ;)

Car caught on fire due to electrical tape suggestion.

I'll give it a shot, maybe see how I can modify or repair those retainer clips. Or give up and just use the tape like you suggested

Easy fix for me was 2 little squares of Velcro on each mirror. Problem solved

I had no clue the car even had mirrors there!

Mine dosent.. Maybe on the passanger side only? I never sit over there

DAMNIT now I gotta go look!

Hang on a second.

EDIT: The Hakone has both. Not sure if the FRS did. I honestly didn't know they were there even though I use the visor all the time.

:lol: I had to check mine too!, 2013 BRZ had it on both sides as well

I swear ive never seen that thing before,

someone must of snuck in and installed it overnight
