Swivel mounts hold the visor in place with a single swivel bar on the outside corner of a car’s roof and a single clip for the opposite end of the visor to hold it in place when it’s not in use. Swivel mounts are gaining popularity because they allow for greater range of motion and allow drivers and passengers to more effectively block out incoming glares. If the clips have widened and aren’t holding the visor firmly in place, you can add rubber stripping or caps to the clip to tighten the grip on the visor. To repair a loose visor on a fixed mount, simply tighten all of the screws holding the bar to the roof of the car and double check the visor clips. Typically, if a visor isn’t staying in place on a fixed mount, it’s an issue with the clips on the mounting bar that old the visor in place. A visor with a fixed mount usually won’t give you as much trouble as a swivel mount, unless of course the whole thing just snapped off of the mount.
This allows you to swing the visor up and down and dislocate one corner in order to rotate the visor and block incoming light from the windows. Most sun visors are attached one of two ways: a fixed mount or a swivel mount.įixed mounts feature a straight bar across the roof of your car with a clip on which the visor is secured on one end.
Here are a few tips:įixing a broken sun visor depending on which type you have
Fret not, a broken sun visor is usually a simple and affordable fix. The sun visor seems like a minor feature until it’s constantly dropping in your face and blocking your vision or too loose to position it where it will actually do what it’s supposed to do: block sunlight from impeding your vision. You might’ve noticed that one or both of the sun visors in your car seem to be gradually getting looser or, if you’re really unlucky, maybe the visor on the driver’s side broke off on one side and blocks your view.
