Default My sun visor is limp.............

Besides replacing them, my 2 sun visors are somewhat limp on the end. {no jokes please} Is there any simple way to straighten them out per se ? Thanks .Mark.

I just bought a 2002 coupe a month and a half ago and that was one issue I had to fix. I found replacement visors on Amazon for about $40 for the pair. They seem to be better quality than OEM and also have LED bulbs. YouTube will show you how to replace them.

Probably the easiest way of fixing the visors.

Do you use the visors? I bought new replacements several years ago and never installed them. I like the added visibility without them at the top of the windshield. BTW, mine were not easy to remove. Hopefully, you will have better luck.

Easy to remove. The hardest part is fishing the electrical connector back up through the hole when installing the new visor.
