Sun visors

[silverback mike]

Probably a generic thing but I have a floppy visor It looks like a case of unscrew, pull off, new one on, screw in, re-mastic to seal....


Where do the originals come from as I need a nearside

Thanks folks.

Ford Capri sunvisors are what you need.

Rocking horse poo no doubt hmmpf

Might be wrong. but IIRC, you might be able to put a "crimp" on the hinge to make it a better interference.

I could be harking back to my S series days though??

Take it apart and see if you can wrap some tape around the shaft.

Two pairs on eBay sub £20. Some new looking ones for £40. I paid less that £10 for a good one and sprayed it black.

I'll try the greater interference tape/bodge first I think....and take it from there

It works, both of mine have a few turns of sellotape around the shaft . Needs re-doing every couple of years as the tape wears through.

Would heat shrink sleeving work better? Seems to be the answer to most of my problems recently

Same problem here. But how do you unsrew the visor? Tried most of my tool collection, can't work out what type of srew it is - thanks.

My hinge was just screwed into the windscreen frame with philips head screws. Undo the hinge, slide out of the visor, apply tape, slide back in, replace screws.

Someone with a 3D printer could make a small fortune here!
