Sun Visors, replacement
You can tell I am getting cabin fever, after buffing out the scratches and swirl marks.
I decided to replace my sun visor, after have a new part sitting on a shelf in the garage I dated when I bought it 02/10/2015.
It was time to install it, watched you U-Tube, very simple. I know the wife will be happy to use the mirror.
Has you can tell we have few paper towels, and Etc.

God for bid my wife would complain, cause she is the only one that use it, my side has home link for the garage opener.
It's was enough I herd for 5 years there is no mirror, and I always said you broke it, stop complaining.

I don't know about then, but now you can find replacements (without homelink) at most parts sites. I just ordered a set with homelink from Zip.

The Visor Guy. Adrian, 951 775-5627. He can do what ever you wish with your visors. I had him recover mine with leather, replaced the bulbs with LED’s while he was in there. (Shared his number with his permission). Excellent quality.

@1bdvet How does the whole plastic mirror detach/re-attach from the visor? I would like to remove them as in your pics and redo them, but everything I've read/viewed says they aren't removable.
Thanks

Some here have removed the mirrors and had the visors wrapped in leather which gives a really clean look. Wifey will need to carry a small mirror in her purse though.
