Default Sun-visor Flaps - Cheap replacement for non-lit mirror?





The carwash, somehow, broke both the flaps on the driver and passenger sun visors (or perhaps the plastic just got old and brittle). I see posts from a few years ago that state you can get the whole mirror assembly (without a light and sticker) for about $25-30. Everywhere I look today, I see the assembly costs $80-90 each (Suncoast here).

I'm not spending $200 on sun visor flaps. I will just use some double-sided velcro if it comes to it...ghetto but effective. Anybody have any other good options?

Mine are both broken. Had the driver side one come loose in turn 7 at Sebring. Ended up down by the pedals. I would
just leave them the way they are.

Use man maths and use it as an excuse to put the front/full cage in as you'd have to rip those out anyway... Or get a deep sun strip for the windscreen.

That's exactly what I was looking for...but I thought they all jumped from $30 to $80.

Thanks! Will definitely be purchasing
