Does anyone have a driver's side sun visor to spare. Mine broke this afternoon. Feels like it came apart on the inside... I may take it apart, but that involves sewing it back together.

Here is whats left:


Here is a side profile of the latch that pops out on its own, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this also, let me know!!! (glue wont work)

 

I had this happen to me and the dealer replaced the visor for free. You should at least give them a call. It couldn't hurt.

 

My car isnt under warranty anymore

 

In your pics...that's EXACTLY where mine broke! Odd how 2 peeps visors broke in the exact same spot. I would still give the dealer a call. Here's another option...

trdsparks.com

I know they're a little expensive but this is always an option. Also, I would email Ken @trdsparks and see if he can hook you up witn an OEM visor. He's helped me out big time when I need new/extra parts!

 

Cool, I'll email him, who shall I say sent me?

 

just say scionlife! i think i we give ken a lot of business...haha, i know i have.

 

agreed^^^ i also bought from ken,,,,good guy

 

didnt get any response from ken@trdsparks.com yet... ???

 

be patient as ken is playing with barbie right now -- he will get back to you shortly!

 

Thats crazy mine broke on the inside were thehard plastic clip helps the little bar in place i fixed mine by heating some harder plastic to the the broken piece and then heating the edges back

 

Same exact place were broken 2ply glue (epoxy, jb weld, all that really strong glue works well. i will post pics later

 

why didnt I think of that!
I pulled the whole cover off as you can see, Im using a binder clip to hold the "mechanism" ... I think I ruined it... prob gotta get a new one

 

Could you please repost the pictures? I have this problem too, but yours is the only post I've found on the subject.

 

damn necro bump.. i doubt he's coming back dude

wow, its been years since that post, I had forgotten about that happening completely, sold my car, etc... anyways, in response, Im not sure if I could find those pics on my pc, but I remember the latch needing to handle a lot of force, so nothing could fix it. I ended up buying a new one. If your car is still under warranty, then theyll replace it for free.

 

can anyone point me in a direction to get a good deal? or should i order it from Carson Toyota?

 

Anybody have pictures on how to fix this? Mine just broke for the second time! I have a 2005. First time was under warranty so they replaced it. Certainly not the quality I expect from Toyota.

Anybody else had theirs broken and what year? From here, it's all 2005's. So maybe any new ones, they must have fixed it by now or make sure not to buy used from a 2005?

 

old thread but yea I have the same issue (05 tc also). For more than a year now I just don't use the visor but I'd like to fix it. It is expensive on trdsparks... or I could just cut it open at the stitching on the far edge and try to glue it back.
