Visor Dilemma
Ok guys, so here the problem. Now not only did the mirror on my driver side come off the visor, hanging by the wires, but now the passenger one fell off yesterday too. So I have rubber bands around both of my visors right now. Terrible, I know. I don't want to pay $90 for new ones. I'd rather find some cheapies or used ones or something that will make them look better period. I don't use the mirrors andway so if there is something else that can go there, let me see some pics if you did anything special. If you know of a cheap replacement, send me a link. Thanks guys. By the way I have a black interior.

My passenger side visor mirror assembly did the same thing. I used Gorilla Glue and a set of clamps. Let it sit over a 24 hour period and has not come loose since. Gorilla glue expands some so you have to be careful where you apply it.
Worked like a champ.

Refix Vanity Mirrors
Pull the mirror away from the housing gently. Stick a piece of 3M double sided tape along the inside edge of the top of the mirror between the two holes in the visor.
Thread a small zip tie through each hole from the back and outside of the hole, with the “head” of the tie located in the large rectangular recess. Pull the tail of the zip tie towards you and thread from inside to out through the hole in the locating pin. Push the tail through the head loosely at first.
Use needle nosed pliers (holding the tail) and a precision screwdriver (pushed against the head) to tighten the zip ties. Be very careful when pulling the ties tight not to pinch the lighting wires which run through the same hole. Once tight, snip the spare tail of the tie but carefully so as not to snip the electrical wires.
Push the mirror back into its housing and press firmly against the double sided tape.
Should be good as new.
