Default Visor Vanity Mirror

Anyone had a visor vanity mirror come off the visor because the little plastic attaching pegs broke/separated?

If so, what's the recommended fix?

The big rubber band is ugly!

I'm taking mine back to the dealer for the driver's mirror coming loose. I'v eseen where guys have used zip ties to make the repair. Do a search.... One of my passenger visor vanity light lenses fell out also. Shows no signs of damage, possible expansion/contraction issue? I'm letting the dealer fiqure that out as well. Perhaps I'll end up with new visors?

I repaired mine using the zip tie method and added plumbers putty along the bottom edge of the mirrior. Has been holding for several months during hot and cold weather changes.

Great tip on the tie wraps.
I put a Homelink in my drivers side visor. I had both visors rebuilt with new stuff on the inside, and recovered with new material. Cost was $100. They look so much better than the old ones and the "ears" don't sag anymore.
