How to Fix a Floppy Sun Visor that does not stay in place on Your Car for less than 25 Cents!

- Do you have a loose sun visor on your car? Here is a good DIY loose visor fix:
My 2008 Hyundai Sonata had a sun visor that would not stay up and kept coming down when we would hit a slight bump in the road until now when it will not stay up at all. I watched a few videos about this. One person suggested using Velcro, another person said to use electrical tape I tried all of these methods including those and Teflon tape with no success until I tried using a zip tie placed along side the rod that attaches to the visor and then using two small zip ties and then pushing it back into place worked great! There is enough friction that the visor stays put like it should!! Save your money don't buy a new sun visor until you try this! It worked great! It even looks good you cannot see the zip tie inside the visor! If you have this problem try it! Cheap and easy fix!
This should work for any sun visor of a similar design. My car is a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. I think all 2004 through 2009 Sonata's should be similar to this one. There is a small wire on the end of the metal shaft which feeds the switch wire to the makeup light above so be careful to not cut or damage the wire when doing this.
Sorry this is not an adventure video like I usually post on my channel but a how to video that I think may help someone out there.
Hello! I have another channel where I post repair and DIY videos. Check it out: ruclips.net/channel/UCOnsjUJOcT6YVtAZU0vejZA
Does your sonata squeak in the front How do i fix?
@@liljons6753 Where does it squeak? Coming from the engine or something inside the car?
@@TrevorLindgren the right suspension mostly......
@@liljons6753 I'm not sure what would cause that. It could be the shock/struts are going bad but I have never replaced those. I did replace a CV axle on a different car of mine that was causing some strange noises and vibration while driving.
Dont some have wires in them....?
44 year mechanic here, other than drilling and installing a pressure screw this is the cheapest easiest way,, just to jam a shim! good video!
Thank you!
Thanks bro, you saved my life and sanity, I have stopped drinking and can go to sleep now without crying, legend!
Sharpe7 Lol! Awesome! Im glad it helped.
Trevor Lindgren life changing bro
hahahahahahhaha
Bout to try this on my abused ‘13 Accord. Drives me insane!!!!
😂😂😂
This video is the perfect description of “not all heroes wear capes”. Thanks a million, this totally fixed both my sun visors on a Sonata 2008 and spared me a few bucks - total cost 4 $ and that’s just because i bought 2x 100 pieces bags of different sizes
The car visor started flopping down. The wife's solution is to buy a new car.
Well if you need an excuse to get a new one anyway! :) Save your money for the coming recession.
Oh man I Lol'd! -I got a better idea..Buy your wife a duffle bag!! C-ya!
my car dealer replaced it free. i didnt know it was possible
Bro woman can't think straight ill they know is there own convenience
😂😂😂
Brilliant! My visor has been flopping around for more than a year, car mechanic wanted to charge $300 to fix it! This is an absolute genius fix, thank you😀
This fix was great. I used 3 ties on one visor and 1 on the other and they are now perfect. I have a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. One thing I did was take the whole visor with wires off. It made it a lot easier to work on a table to get the ties in as well as to get the visor back on the metal rod. I watched another RUclips video to see how the visor came off. Super easy! Thanks for the help.
Awesome! Good idea! I'm glad it helped.
Well I'll be damn! I tried the tape solution and was headed to the hardware store to try the screw solution but stopped and gave this a try. This worked perfectly! I man'd up and used a bigger zip tie and shoved it in good and proper and now it stays up even without being in the retaining clip. I had the same problem as he did with it initially fitting in the clip so I cut off the head of the zip tie which allowed it to slide in further. You're the man!
Worked a treat! If the cable tie won't slide in too far, just hold it tight to the visor pole and slide the visor back into place. Then just clip off any excess cable tie.
Many thanks for the video 👍
Thank you, saved me some money not buying new sun visors. However, I had to use a large zip tie to get it to work. My wife is impressed!
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped! Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to this or my other how to channel.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used this solution today & I’m so happy! Before I wanted to literally rip it out of my car, so frustrating!
Just fixed my 1977 Corvette visors with your method..... saved HUNDREDS!!!!!!! Thanks bro!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked!
I love You tube, I can't believe all the things I've fixed easily, cause someone else already figured it out.
Thank you. I just tried this, one zip tie and the visor is like new and not in my face! I appreciate your posting this fix, as it really works and gave me immediate relief. Velcro and tape did not work successfully due to the sheer weight of this visor in the 2008 Hyundai Sonata.
No problem! I'm glad it worked for you! You may have to periodically replace the zip tie if it becomes floppy again. I have replaced it once but it just took 5 minutes and was easy to do.
Wow. I can't believe the first video I checked for this was a visor on a 2008 Sonata. That's my car. I'll try this, for sure. Thanx.
I just wanted to update my post of yesterday. This process worked for me! It took a little elbow grease to get the visor back into position. I first tried the velcro method that another video recommended, but that didn't work. It took about 15 minutes to fix it with zip ties I already had. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for posting this Trevor. What an excellent DIY fix that worked well for my vintage 1990s Toyota. It just took some patience and 3 zip-ties to gain sufficient friction. But since I bought 20 for under $5 bucks there's now plenty leftover to tie off uncooperative TV cables and in case I need to occasionally add one to the visor. BTW, velcro didn't work and electical tape didn't hold, and now I don't have to pay $60 for a new visor or lose 3 hours of precious weekend time hunting through an auto junkyard.
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped you! You may eventually need to replace a zip tie or two but it is still quick, easy, and cheap to do so.

Fixed my fiancé’s visor with this helpful video! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Great video and just fixed my exact same problem. I had tried the tape and velcro fixes seen on other videos but it didn't work for me, but this one works great! Keeps everything nice and tight.
I have a 2006 Kia Sportage both visors wouldn’t stay up , I tried the Velcro thing didn’t work good , found your video and I tried a small zip tie on passenger side and had to use a larger zip tie on driver’s side, both work great now !!! Thanks so much for your help!!
This worked for me bro! Thanks for the video. I super glued the zip ties to the metal rod, then slid the visor. My dealer wanted to charge me $260 for a new one! 😳
A new visor costs more than an oil change.
Thanks it really worked, very good solution, your video prevented me from breaking the visor to reach the plastic that was worn or worse, breaking the visor, thanks brother. Greetings from Mexico
Had the same problem with a 2014 Murano. Ended up putting Velcro on the roof and top of the visor. Works well. But I’m going to try this. 👍🏻
How ironic! I also have a 2008 Sonata with TWO floppy sun visors that are driving me insane. I'm off to buy zip ties. If that doesn't work, maybe a new car, which would be a shame. My Sonata drives really well and hasn't given me any other problems. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING RUclips!
Wow, it really works.. used a little bigger zip tie and works perfectly saved me 120 bucks from buying new visors!!!
I was quite sceptical, however tried this genius fix & it works in my 88 Monte Carlo. Thank u sir
one zip tie? i have 88 cutlass
I was about to try glueing a magnet to it in hopes that it would be strong enough to grab the metal ceiling through the fabric. This is so much easier, so I'm trying it first! Thanks! I've been going crazy!
Thanks Trevor for the advice about the Zip tie. Instead of pushing it in, I wrapped it around the arm and cut off the ends. i then pushed the visor in and it stays in place. Thanks again.
Abu Muaadh Ibn Todd great idea!!!
Brilliant! Same trick helped fix a floppy sun visor on our UK mk8 Civic. Thanks! 👍
Dealership wanted to charge me $200.00 and I thought no way would I pay 200 bucks. My visor was so bad I just took it off. After seeing your video, I took five minutes of my time and was able to resolve the issue. I used a small zip tie, but I think I will change it out to a medium size to make it tighter. It is so much better than it was before. Thank you very much for your video.
Glad it helped!
You are the man! $171 at dealer for a replacement. $.10 zip.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped you.
Try $260 at my dealer. Wth? I’m starting to think all these visors are manufactured by the same company. They must be making a lot of money from these broken visors.
It worked perfectly for me (Fiat Palio 96), using only 1! It's a very intelligent idea, thank you soo much! :)
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Thanks so much for the video! I bought a new one years ago for $80 for same problem. You just saved me $80++ so thanks sooooo much!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
THANKS A MILLION, MINE WORKED PERFECTLY WITH 2 ZIPS
I took a small piece of Velcro on mine and it worked thanks
Just applied this and it's works perfectly......thank you so much for a great video
Thanks, this worked to some extend, its not perfect but works and hopefully lasts...had the small zip ties already so just had to stick them in there...saved $40
thank you so much , i use tape n fix it for hours that make my arm n hand in pain but still doesnt work, until i use this method it works! u saved me
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped! Please subscribe to support my channel. Thanks!
Thanks this worked on my Buick century. Just two zip ties from Dollar tree.
Cheap fix that solved the problem. Thanks for the video guys
I just tried this after the Velcro idea was not effective and you were absolutely on the mark. It took two small zip ties and my viser is now working perfectly and safe. Mine was the driver side and was essential to repair it. Thank you very very much
Awesome! I'm glad it helped! My friend owns a Toyota with the same problem and he got thr dealership to replace his for free so check your car recalls amd warranty options too.
thanks for this, i didnt have a zip tie but i used plastic wire ties cut to fit...perfect, just what i needed thanks so much
No problem! Glad it helped!
This worked really well on my 2007 Honda Fit! Thanks so much for posting.
This comment gives me hope! Same car... the binder clip trick has gotten old and I hope this does it!
Great man, fixed it on the spot no tools nedded, always good to have some zipties in the car, i once stiched back my exhaust pipe back to the car until i got home
Awesome! Zip ties are super helpful!
Thank god. I was losing my mind with it just hanging in front of me while I drive. My hero
This fix worked great in my 2008 Sonata. Thank you for sharing.
Your Welcome! I'm glad it worked!
OMG! I came looking for info on fixing this problem. I have a 2008 Hyundai Sonata :-)
It works for my proton Waja. Thanks! Had to use 2 zip ties.
I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue and I used Velcro that worked perfectly 👍🏾
This worked for me as well! The passenger side got floppy about 6 months ago and the driver's side just failed yesterday. Saved me $60 for aftermarket and nearly $90 if you went with genuine to replace! I already had the zip ties, so $0.00 fix for me.
Thanks, this actually works!.
Much appreciated from Ireland 🇮🇪
You're welcome!
Million thanks Trevor. Worked beautifully. This was very clever fix for Hyundai Getz 2008. Cheers. 👍
Good! I'm so glad it helped you!
A big TY to you for this instant fix. Made my day!
No problem!
So glad I found this video. My floppy sun visor was super annoying!😡 I subscribed! 😀 I wonder if a hanger would work? Hmmm..
Thank you! Just worked perfectly on my 06 Impala!
It was certainly worth a shot, but didn't adequately work on my 2013 Nissan Rogue. But, I did two ties around the bar and visor as tight as I could, and this has at least kept it out of my vision while driving.
6 years ago worked still works to this day
Seems to work well on my wife's 08 Sportage. The one proposed by Akhill would not work in my case as the visor is expanded polystyrene and cannot be opened the same way as his
You can tape the zip-tie to the metal rod with a long thin strip of Gorilla Tape that's just a bit wider than the zip tie --- then slide the visor over it --- that gives it one more layer of 'friction resistance', and it keeps the tie from moving.
Good idea!
Thanks buddy.. fixed this while in a fast food drive thru.. with a zip tie that happened to be in my backpack next to me.. haha thanks.. took longer to comment
So the automatic light works, but not an ‘up/down’ motion which was perfected 3 decades ago. Good job Hyundai
Thanks, worked like a charm on my '06 Mini Cooper S.
Good! I'm glad it helped!
Just the fix that I was looking for! Thanks
No problem!
Great idea....it worked for me on my 2011 Toyota Camry! Thanks!
Awesome! No problem!
This actually worked! THANK YOU
Thank you! One was enough and it works like a charm!
Good. Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
This worked great!, thanks for the idea!.
This worked for my 2006 Nissan Murano (just stuff the zip tie in no need to remove the visor). Thank you very much!
Awesome! Great Idea! You're welcome.
Awesome glad to hear, thanks
Gonna try on an 03 murano, new are $175+/each 😱
EXCELLENT 👍! DID THIS ON a 08 KIA OPTIMA. ALTHO, I NEEDED 3 ZIP TIES. I HOPE IT "HOLDS UP!" haha lol. You saved me $50!!! Thx
Thanks for mentioning KIA specifically. I was looking for ways to fix the driver side visor on daughter's '06.
This worked on my Nissan Patrol, thanks very much!
You're welcome!
Worked great on my 2005 hyundai Getz.
Thanks Mate
Cheers from AUS
You are welcome! I'm glad it helped!
Thanks a million! save my money, I appreciate it !
yoshimishimba your welcome!
You are a life savor man. I was about to crack my visor in half to adjust the clamps but seemed like a nightmare to try and glue it back together
.
Same problem, tape didn’t work. Zip ties my man, thank you.
No problem 👍
My driver's side visor has been a pain for the last 2 years. I'm definitely trying this when I get home!
Excellent, I will try this! Thanks!
Thank you very much. Your fix really worked well. Legend !!!!!!!!!!
Worked like a charm..holy shit something so simple.. it took 1 zip tie!! Thank you!
No problem! I'm glad it helped.
The fact that I googled this and it was the same Make and year of car to my car with this issue just makes me laugh 🙂
Thanks for the idea, will give it a shot! :D
Thanks mate - that did the job!
Thanks a lot. This helped on a 2009 Kia Sportage!
Thanks. This worked on my Hyundai Getz.

I wish I saw this before I bought a new car
I wish :(
You bought a new car because of this?
@@MacrWest 😂 definitely i saw him buy it
@@Josh-zy3lq I've literally been contemplating buying a new car and this is the straw that broke the camel's back. It is the most infuriating thing
I just bought a new to me 2008 Hyundai Sonata and guess what? My passenger side visor flops down and won't stay up! (Great car otherwise) Thanks so much for posting this solution - I am off to buy myself some zip ties shortly!
You're welcome! I hope it works for you!
Thank you so much. I'm gonna try this when I get home because I'm about to rip mine off and throw it out the window. LOL.
Bro you just saved me $150...can you believe a replacement visor cost that much...this worked on my fiat 500l thanks for the video...crazy how zip ties fix alot of things actually
No problem! So glad it helped!
Jeep Renegade ones cost $430 !!
I've been battling this issue on my 2007 sonata for years. By velcroing it to the ceiling. But I've had to replace the Velcro every couple weeks. plus....im not able to actually use it. So I am going to try the zip ties. stat!
This suggestion was perfect thank you so much. It worked. 😊
You're welcome!
Good idea pal.
Going to try it
thank you so muhc! i have a 2009 hyundai accent and the sun visor gets in the way when im driving. tried using all kinds of things and i have hope for this
you're welcome! I hope it helps you!
Life saver, thanks!
Didnt have a zip tie but tried using a pipe cleaner instead. Just folded 2 in half. Jammed it in and it worked!
Awesome! Good idea!
Really appreciate you posting this. Thankyou
Glad it was helpful!
I don’t have zip ties so I will try pipe cleaners. Thank you for this video😀
Good idea! No problem!
Thank you so much work a treat such a good idea
