Default replacement visor mirror

Any idea if you can get replacement mirrors for the sun visor??? I cracked mine while doing a led swap while taking the mirror bezel out (broke the bezel pins too...looks like I'm doing the floppy ears fix).

Is just a mirror something we can find through a vendor or for sale? Any kind of tile mirror from anywhere else could probably fit if you get the right width and length I assume? Anyone else crack their visor mirror?

I just replaced both of my sun visors. The driver side is good shape. The passenger side plastic pins on the mirror are broke but the mirror is still good. I will give either or to you, just pay the shipping. Hope this helps. I am in Mississippi.

If the OP doesn't need the driver's side sunvisor, I would like to have it. But if he does need that one, by all means offer it to him first. Just let me know. Also sent you a PM.

I was going to do the floppy ear fix and found an easier solution. On the auction site there was a company in the UK that sold leather mirror covers that attach with Velcro. They are sturdy enough to compensate for the floppy ear eliminating the need to remove the visor, take it apart and then restitch it. Price was $70 shipped.

I just replaced both visors. The original visors I took off have good mirrors, doors, and lights. They are just flop eared.
If some one can use them I would be happy send them on. If not they're going to set on a shelf until I eventually throw them away.
