Default Is a Sun Visor Plug a real thing?

Hey Guys Newby Here!

Just bought my first vette ( HELL YEAH! ) - its a c5 convertible - and the drivers sin visor is broken. Its like the cardboard inside is snapped.

Anyhow its pretty much just always in the way so I figured Id remove them. But it would appear it will leave some unsightly holes.

Has anyone found a cap to insert here, to cover up that hole?

You can find plastic plugs at your local auto store, no need to buy so-called "visor delete" plugs.
I took my visors off but wound up putting them back on after a few months. . . .they do come in handy.

Crappy design BUT, you can fix them depending upon what is wrong with them. I did a fix that has lasted over five years.

Never knew those products existed. Pretty good option if you don't want to keep the sunvisors on the car.

@Vetteman Jack Pretty neat huh? I ordered a set and Ill post photos when I get them is. Bummer is that they dont offer anything for the sun visor clip hole, so you have the leave the clips in there. Still cleaner though!
