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! |

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.
