Visor clip part number?
Anyone know the part number to the clip that holds the sun visors in place?
Got to work this morning, put my solar shade up and went to flip down the visors to hold it in place. The passenger's clip on the left side of the visor that holds it to the windshield frame just snapped off. It was brittle.
Joy.
Plus I notice the spring retainer on the right side appears to be pulling out too.
This is gonna be one of those days, isn't it?

Just an FYI. Parts manager said there is a new part# if old stock is out of stock. Price $16.00. I told him if mine was out of stock, not to order with new part #. One of the vendors sells them for like $7.

just a word of caution here when you go to replace it....when I replaced mine I found that in addition to the screw holding it in place there was some sort of adhesive bonding it to the headliner. I tore my vinyl slightly but patched it with superglue.

Sometimes its just hard to use the right terminology to describe it.
Yes, the part that screws in to the headliner with one screw is that part I need. Wish there was a microfiche somewhere to confirm it

Texas Dave, he was being nice to me. I messed up and I apologize for that. I was trying to help and I made a mistake. Today must be one of my slow days. After reading it your description is spot on. If I am ever in Texas, I will buy you a beer. Sorry!!

I have had a broken clip on mine for like two years now. I just called Fichtner and got two ordered. I have been looking everywhere for these and had only been able to find the black, but need the shale.
