Visor mirror loose
My 04 Vert passenger visor mirror is loose and getting ready to fall off. I vaguely recall seeing a video on YouTube about the visors and how crappy they are. It doesn’t look like it was glued on originally but I can’t really see how it was fastened. Is it worth trying to fix or is there some aftermarket product I should be looking at? If fix, I assume it would be to glue it. If so, what kind of glue should I use?

I bought mine from Amazon though. Functional and no more floppy ears but they feel cheaply made. I guess for $120 a pair, I should not expect much.

Both of my 04 vert visors needed replacement. I ordered new ones. While waiting for delivery, I removed the old ones after some ####words and few beers. Was not as easy as the video shows, at least for me. I drove with the visors removed and really liked how it increased the viability. So, I have left them off.

the dealer had ordered replacement visors for my car but I bought it before they came in. I think they are from vette nuts but they are probably all the same. I had the dealer ship to me and I put them on myself.
While they are not falling apart like the old ones, I'm not a fan of how big they are and am considering the delete kit. It's like they are originally designed for an SUV. At a minimum I also need new clips as mine will swing out with anything more than leisurely acceleration and rattle all the time. At least they are rigid enough to hold the garage door remote.
I would rate them 3 out of 5 stars.
