Question Passenger Visor Mirror Cover Falls Down..

The passenger side visor mirror cover has a spring that keeps the door closed. It looks like the spring has either broken or come loose inside the visor...

Should I:

+ Replace the visor ($$$$)

Try and pry oven the visor and replace/reset the spring (???)

Just get a piece of velcro and use that to keep the door shut (!!!)

Any ideas welcome!

Replace the visor! Anything else will be a band aid or a ghetto fix.

velcro would certainly be a ghetto fix and should be avoided, but repairing the spring would be a sound repair, certainly more environmentally friendly (S55 driver here, what the hell do I know about environmental friendliness??)
