Where can I find a replacement car sun visor?

Asked by holli (487points) October 6th, 2010

The sun visor in my car busted and now hangs down constantly unless I use my Macgyver rubberband/paperclip creation to hold it up out of my view. When I called the dealership they said it would be 200+ dollars! And I have not been able to find one online. Any suggestions?

Do you have any junk yards around there? They may have one and it may be cheaper than the dealer.

There’s also this place. And eBay.

Probably tons of places.

Used parts yard that specialize in Import Car parts. I know in my state there are couple that have cars for parts up to 15 years old.

Does it include a a mirror with light? That will drive the price up.

Same thing happened to mine. I was able to find a sun visor for my 1997 Nissan Sentra on eBay for around 25$, I think.

when things break in my car i go to the hardware store and make a menacing looking replacement. When the electric window stopped working i made myself a crank.

@FiRE_MaN Next thing you’ll be telling us is that you use a key to unlock your door. And you use little knobs to lock and unlock it from the inside.
