What is wrong with the old ones?? If the mirror is falling away from the visor, you can
fix that..

Yes you can buy them as individuals from dealer service or online gm parts retailers.
Consider getting a new set of the parts that holds them secured. They wear over time and it takes just a few minutes to install new ones. What a difference in grip. They are only a few dollars each.

If they have the droopy-ear syndrome or just don't look good, you can get them recovered.
I had both of mine done after installing the Homelink for about $100. All new fabric and inside stuff.

I basically -
* Flip the sunvisor down and disconnect it from the "inner" snap location.
* Wrapped some electrical tape around the post near the 90 degree bend.
* Used small screw driver pressed into the "Tab" of the housing with one hand.
* Using the other hand, move the sunvisor "Outwards" (towards the side windows) watching the tabbed housing. The arm of the sunvisor provides the rotational force to dislodge the housing.
* Gently fish out the connector for the vanity lights.
I hope this helps.

I had to take my visors off this week. Driver's side came off easily, but the passenger side was impossible. I destroyed the plastic piece with the tab in the process. Does anyone know if this one piece is replaceable or do I have to buy a whole new visor?

Yes you can buy new lock rings. Check with your GM dealer or GM online retailer.
