Sunvisor mirrors won't stay open

Is there an adjustment to the mirror cover that provides tension to keep the mirror cover open? Do I have to purchase a whole visor or can just the mirror be replaced?
TIA

I don't think there is any adjustment.

I think that the mirror can be replaced. It was on mine, but the dealer did it under warranty. Go Google "Mercedes sun visor vanity mirror" and you will get a bunch of hits for them being sold on eBay, etc.

Mirror covers will have to be replaced. I replaced both mines at a good price from www.mercedespartscenter.com.

Notice the cracked plastic by the small spring clip, right side is missing, unable to hold cover open. 2118110110, the microswitch is glued down. 06-E320


Pry from the top, was very easy with these door cards

Amazing. Any ideas to replace the two (2) plastic ends/nubs it hinges on? Both of mine broke off prolly due to age and/or repetitive use over time. May be less trouble just to source a new/newer one.
