    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.
