I have a driver's side sun visor that does not stay all the way up (sags about 1") and has a lot of resistance when flipping up or down.

Anyone tried surgery on these to repair the or is replacement the way to go? I haven't priced it but I am guessing around $600 or so. I am still covered by CPO but the CPO warranty probably won't cover that as it would be termed "normal wear and tear".

when I was under factory warrant I had both of mine replaced so check that route first.

I plan on asking when I take the car in for routine service next week but something like this is typically like a cosmetic item and not covered.

It looks like it is possible to pull the "rod" out of the visor but I am not sure about accessing spring clips or whatever mechanism holds it in place.

my passenger side visor is the same. haven't bothered with it since i rarely have passengers but i'm interested to hear what you learn.

My driver side is very hard to move up and down also...and kind of makes a scraping noise...so am interested also.

Any word on this yet..... ???

No, not yet...I blew out a hernia last week (getting it fixed Tuesday) so I haven't even thought about calling my dealer.

They (dealer) have some kind of upgrade that they can do to make it stronger than stock because it is a very flimsy design. Cost me a hundred bucks to fix and no problems since. Now my driver's side is bad but just don't use it that much, but will eventually do that to the driver's side too.

Any idea of the work done or part # on the invoice?

Thanks.
