  • How I fixed my sunvisor in my 2003 Dodge Ram SLT. The driver's side visor was worn and would not stay up or hold any position until I fixed it.

    When there are 3/4 million viewers on how to fix floppy sun visors, its time for the car industry itself needs to go back to their drawing board.

      We wish! This has been going on with many brands of cars since early 2000's at least. Can't expect logic or fairness from money hungry coprorations.

      I just replace new sun visors ,if I see this video I will save some money.

      Same for shifter linkage. There's a small rubber bushing that wears out on basically all cars. So one day you go to shift and it does nothing because the cable's fallen off.

    The visor Einstein! Hard to believe OEM is nearly a $100 for a replacement and you engineered a $3 fix! DOPE! THANK YOU!

    It worked!!! I must've lowered and raised my visor 100x's because I couldn't believe there was such an easy fix! THANK YOU!

    I am headed out to do that to my 02 Ram. My visor has been an aggravation for years. I have searched for a long time for a fix and nothing showed up until I found your site. Thank you.

  • @Dalearium
    @Dalearium 5 лет назад +5

    I am doing this asap. Brilliant fix. My visor has been sitting under my back seat for over a year. Most of the replacement ones come from the states ( I am in Canada) and the cost with shipping and such just did not make it seem high on my list. So here I am at 5 am on a Sunday, decide to search again and you video popped up. Don't know how I have missed it before. Anyway, Thank You very much :)

    (2013 Murano), I simply drilled a hole just below on the visor and
    secured with a nut, bolt and a couple of washers. Works perfectly.

    Hey man,that's a damn good idea. The Sun visor on my mom's car is drooping and this would help a great deal. Next time we go to wal mart,we'll look for those same Velcro pieces. Thanks for the tip.

    @sherrywhite621 6 лет назад +11

    That's awesome! Been looking at used replacement visors that were dirty and quite frankly, wouldn't want to touch them for #100+ for my Volvo. I'm going to try this. You are a genius! Thanks for the tip!

    I had the same exact problem, and I used a glue gun to fill the gap between the stick and the sun visor and it works pretty well too! I was about to add Velcro as well but I'm going remove the glue and try your method to see which way works best :)

  • @1voiceofstl

    you know what's even better is twisting metal around the part that detaches and when you hook it; it creates perfect leverage. It even works with the velcro if that eventually wears out. It just figured it out!

    I went to the dealer and bought the replacement arms for my wife's 08 kia sportage with the same issue. the arms (L&R) were a total of ONE DOLLAR and .08 cents. unscrew visor twist arm 90 degrees, yank it out, insert new arm, boom fixed. I found this fix by googling broken 2008 kia sportage sun visor.

    Wish my 85 Eldorado visor would pull away from the end far enough in order to have room to affix the Velcro!! No adjustment screw anywhere!! I have another junk one I will try to cut a slot on the underside thru the plastic and hopefully slide a small hose clamp around the end so it will tighten the plastic against the visor rod. Since it is leather there isn’t a lot of room to do too much and I don’t want to cut into the leather at all...glad the velcro worked for the others though.👍🏻👍🏻
