    Hey all,

    Not sure if it is a common problem or just mine, but one of my sun visor mounting plastics was smashed to bits when I bought the car a fortnight ago, so I went out and put my modelling/castings skills to use and made a reproduction. Needs a final trim with a blade, but you get the idea.

    Let me know if it’s of any interest to anyone else.

    Cheers Toby

    Alternatively, I'm happy to 3D print a set for anyone that wants to send me the dimensions...?

    Turns out mine was cracked too, causing the visor to gradually slip down when it is not being held down.

    Curious to know how if you manage to reuse the original springs and retainer when putting things back?

    Yes, Same problem here! The plastic is cracked and the sun visor keeps slipping. Can I get one of these. I’m in the UK. Thanks Paolo

    I’d like this part to fix my sun visor. Are you still offering in to print one. Thanks Paolo
