Cool The repair of Sun Visor

Hi
I have got cracks in the point of connection of sun visor's plastic cover and lighted mirror,
so the cover can't open good enough. Does anyone know if someone in Internet
sell aftermarket Sun Visors for SL or just plastic parts or Sun Visors. I've heard
the official dealers can buy only the whole sun visors.

Dose other MB fit?

I met the same problem, and had it disassembled. I wonder if other models’ (ex, W201,126…) sun visor can fit the r129 dimension? Since they are cheaper and easy to find.
As I know, the light on-off mechanism is different, but it is easy to modify the wiring of 12V power.
Dose anyone have make it before?

The part number depends on your model-year and color. If your local dealer won't sell you just the mirror, you might contact www.calibermotors.com. They are an M-B dealer that sells mail-order at a discount.
