Default Visor on passenger side

The passenger side visor is broken, can it be repaired or does it need to be replaced. If I need a replacement one where can I go to get an OEM visor. Does Chevrolet still carry them?

I doubt Chevy has them anymore and I'm guessing you'll be hard to find just one of the two for sale unless you contact Marc at VetteNuts 615.896.6100 or 615.801.2711. His will be used.
A lot of places carry replacement visors and there are a couple of places that redo them in leather.
And there is always eBayhttps://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...isors&_sacat=0

If your fabric is black, then I'd recommend replacing them both- I did this a few months ago and it's a fairly straight forward DIY. Bought mine on eBay as mentioned above and I bought the ones represented has having been made using the OEM fabric (and I found the match good and the quality of the visors good) . You'll get a vanity light upgrade in the process (led). Drove my car with two floppy visors for a year before replacing and I wished I had done it sooner!

Here's a helpful thread:

These are excellent replacements. A lot don’t fit correctly. These fit like new.

I bought one from Eckler's for about $100 and it worked perfectly.

Yep, those were the ones I bought (same seller)- and I agree a good fit and the construction is very likely superior to the original ones.
