    Hello M A members !

    I am hoping someone may have an answer to this problem.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have a small problem with one of the sun Visors.

    When you open the little flap to see the mirror, it won't stay in the open position and falls half closed then the light goes out also.

    Is their any way to fix this or will I have to replace the whole Sun Visor ?

    Anyone who may have a suggestion please let me know. :

    Thanks in Advance !

    Rubber band? Seriously, though the visors are expensive. I hope you don't have to buy a replacement. Call your dealer and see if there is a fix. Might be really simple to fix. Springy thing on the hinge broken and maybe you could replace it.

    I mostly use mine to hold up my windshield shade and the passenger side broke. I actually haven't missed it. People who ride with me ask "what happened here?" :rolleyes:

    This is a common problem I've been seeing more often as the R50/R53 gets older. I have a set of sunvisors off the 05 I'm parting.
