They ultimately had me wait for about an hour for them to install it since it was "warranty" work. No fee charged. To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

Re: Sun Visor split open?

My visor on my `06 Civic LX coupe split at 108,000 mi. These pictures are of the fix I did by fastening the two halves of the assembly together with 1 ¼" long nylon machine screws and nuts. Note the placing of the holes, to stay clear of the steel spring assembly inside. It works fine. This is best if done before the housing splits so far as to break the plastic rod guides.

Re: Sun Visor split open?

I just bought an 07 LX and according to the CARFAX report, the previous owner had the visor replaced. It's still under warranty and I took it in to something unrelated looked at and inquired about the visor, but they said it wouldn't be under warranty and said it would be $92, so I declined and will just live with it for the time being.

Re: Sun Visor split open?

its very common, maybe try and fix it yourself cause i know some people have gone thru 4 sets and they will just keep opening up.

Re: Sun Visor split open?

Any one know if you can swap a 7thgen visor in? I am guessing not but thought it might be worth checking out.

When it splits open, I'd squeeze some hot glue in there to keep it shut. Sounds ghetto but thats what I'd do.
