David, YOU. ARE. AMAZING. I've had my 06 Civic for 6 years and I've gone through at least 3 separate sets of sunvisors. I got so frustrated of repurchasing new ones, only to have it split and break within a short period of time. I ended up just using velcro to keep the visors up. But living in the hot California weather, the heat easily melted the adhesive to the velcro and my visors thus kept falling down. Thankfully, my boyfriend did some research and found your video. I purchased the threaded posts at Lowe's and we drilled my sunvisors yesterday. (And they were both already broken and split! I just had to straighten the hinge portion, then squeeze flat the plastic visor as my boyfriend drilled them.) It actually works! HALLELUJAH! I can't stop flipping them now. You'd think I forgot how real car sunvisors feel! You are my new hero! Much thanks!!! :)
Best comment ever! Thanks so much for letting me know that it turned out so well.
Mine have been repaired now for 3 years and still holding strong!
elegant lil lady b
Dude. I have the same issue. Except screw Honda I won't be buying new visors.
Mine is already split too. Let me see if I can still fix em
You are 100% correct, Susan.. on both accounts..
The heat definitely exacerbates the issue, and Honda has done a horrible job of designing the visors!
Honda has also refused to address the issue and just keeps selling replacement visors that will also break.
Every time my visors broke, it was in the summer.
Thanks for the posting, am thrilled to see so many people fixing their visors. It's really aggravating to pour money into something you know is just going to break again.
You made this video 12 years ago and you're helping me out today. Thanks brother!
It's crazy how much time has passed... but the fix still works for my visors.
Glad to help!
Hope you're doing well David. Well, you saved me about $60 five years ago and another $60 today. I had to revisit this vid to fix the other visor that broke. Thanks,
Stellar. Very selfless of you to share your knowledge so that others can benefit from your experience. Stellar. Your the Man Dave.
:-) Thanks Bruce!
David Sweeney I agree with Bruce. Teaching me how to do this was by far the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me. I don’t know how I could ever properly repay you, but I’ve decided to name my first born child David in your honor,, regardless of its gender/sex (same things). That’s the least I could do, believe me. You are such a truly wonderful person. I’d let u do my wife if I had one.
Hi David, It's people like you that give CZcams a GOOD NAME !!! The video with your narration was spot on. I fixed my partner's Honda Civic's "Lazy Visor" in a snap thanks to your guidance. Best Wishes in any future endeavors. Bob Wilson
Thanks so much for the nice comments Bob!
My best to you and your father... I am glad that it worked out for you. :-)
David, The driver side visor on my 2007 Honda Civic EX was starting to break and would no longer stay up. I called the Honda Dealer to get pricing for a new visor and was shocked the replacement cost would be $115.00 + tax. I then searched the internet and found your video and boy am I glad I did. One trip to Lowe’s for the Hillman parts (2 a $0.87 each) and not more than 15 minutes later problem solved. Thanks for teaching this 61 year old guy a new trick.
Glad that it worked for you Brent!
Depending on how far gone the visors were before you did the fix... they won't quite last as long as if you'd bought a new visor and added the support to them. The problem is that Honda never fixed the design flaw so even a new visor without the extra support, will break again.
On my visors in the above video... one was brand new and one was a repair. The brand new one is still working perfectly for me and it's been over EIGHT years! The repaired one lasted about SIX, then I had to buy a new visor and add support to it. I seriously doubt I'll ever need to repair them again now.
@@dsweeneyjr I bought my 2007 Civic used back in 2013 and this is the first time I had a problem with a droopy visor. Been raising and lowering the visor ever since the fix. Can't believe how easy your fix was and how well it corrected the problem 😁.
Thank you so much for making this video and taking the time to explain everything so clearly. I have a 2007 Civic Hybrid and have been fighting with my visor for months. You saved us about $100 in replacement cost! We were about to buy new visors online and came across your video in our searches. The steps were so clear, it turned out to be an extremely easy repair. I immediately ran to Lowe's and found the parts for a little over 80 cents each, just like you said.
Thank you, David. Both of our visors had been broken for over a year. I was postponing a fix because a mechanic told us it would be ~$250/visor. As that was outrageous, I figured we could live with it. But it was actually really quite untenable and frankly unsafe to let them dangle any longer. Thanks to your video, I spent $2.36/visor + about 30 total minutes of my time. And now I can see out of my windshield again. It seems like a simple thing to post a video like this, but who knows how many accidents have been prevented because so many of us have been able to fix our visors. Thank you!

I couldn't find those at my Home Depot but did at Lowes. They were 88 cents each.

xxPaulCPxx thanks for the tip. Just found it at the local Home Depot. It comes in a small green bag and costs $1.18
Sherry Hughes: I was heading over there, then remembered I have the HomeDepot App, so I pulled over and looked it up. It was in the nut and bolt aisle bay 6. The app will tell you EXACTLY where something is (too bad the wifi in the STORES doesn't work that well, though). The app saved the say 'coz I'm right between two locations, and wasn't sure which one to go to.
Great video.. For the Aluminum Binding Posts I would say get the 3/16 in x 3/4 inch for a snugger fit, but the 3/16 in x 1/2 inch works also. I just thought the 1/2 inch was too small and not as snug.. I wanted to make sure the visors lasted since I replaced them more then four times prior to this awesome video.. I got them from Home Depot. Thanks again for the video!
Thanks David, doing this now, and it's 2023. Your video has helped many including myself, thanks.
Thanks for the post. 🙂
My repaired visors are still going strong also.
Thank you David for taking the time to explain the steps clearly and completely. This is a very well done video. I was about to replace both visors after my Honda dealer refused to replace them again since I am beyond the 7 year "extended" warranty. I found the exact kit you described at Lowes- (thanks for providing the Lowes item number, they were in a drawer) and the procedure went as described> I had some touch up paint (Gray) which made the repair look even better.
I have a 2008 Civic SI sedan and my sun visor on passenger side was starting to crack open so i saw your video, and it fixed it and it works just fine! You saved me 60$! Thank you!
Outstanding!
David, great video!!! Thank you for helping so many of us. Showing how to remove the small plastic piece that hides the mounting screws for the visor was VERY helpful. I bought the 5/8 inch (length) posts you suggested and used a 7/32 drill bit to get a perfect fit. I used a very small drill bit to drill a pilot hole before using the larger bit. Because of your demo, the whole fix took less than 5 minutes.
Al Hill I followed your instructions to make this just a bit more clean, and it worked out great. Thanks for posting this.
I hope that a 1/4" drill bit will work for the 5/8" posts.
Thanks David!
I am so happy I found your repair video! I almost had two accidents because my driver's side visor fell down at exactly the wrong time. I did your repair and the visor now works perfectly again. This is a big money saver and in my case, possibly a life saver!
Thanks a million for figuring a good option out & making it painfully easy to hit Lowe's & work the repair from there. I spent about $200 not but 1-year ago for 2 new visors for an '06 & they both split already. Again, thanks for posting this, you're still helping people more than 6 years after the fact.
Like others, I really appreciated this tip. Worked out great for our 2007 Honda Civic. Parts cost me $1.30 instead of $44, and using the cap nut connector bolt gave a clean look to the repair. I added a large washer to the back side, which may be overkill, but I wanted a bit more support where the main force from the cam is directed. For others looking for the bolt, if you are in the Midwest, Menards also carries the bolts; Our Home Depot only had much larger sizes.
Part used was Hillman 5/8" Aluminum Post with Screw Model #880981 Lowe's Item # 137878 80 cents each at time I bought mine. I was able to repair my driver side visor with this method, saved me having to go and buy new visor! Thanks for the video!
Ed Douglass You really helped me by posting the item information. It was hard to describe, but I gave the employee the item number and he went straight to it. Thanks!
we have a Home Depot close by but not a Lowe's. I'm guessing they carry Hillman parts?
Ed Douglass j
Mr. Douglass, thank you for the parts numbers! It worked like a charm for my 2008 Civic LX sedan. Now I can use both sun visors to prop up my sunshades!
Thanks Ed for the info! looking thru all the hardware would have been way time consuming! Gave the item # to a Lowes associate and he found them right away. Good stuff!
Thank you David, this was a fantastic solution! I have been limping along with my broken driver-side visor for a good while now. Your step by step instructions on how to do the repair are foolproof. The hardest part was finding the screw packages in the store :-) Again, thank you so much! Best regards, Cathy
Thank you! This worked on the 2008 Civic SI sedan as well! Mine was starting to break but then i saw your video and tried it out. Tested it and it works! No more break! You saved me 60$!
2019 and your post is still saving money and reducing frustration. Thanks, Dave.
Thanks Bill... knock on wood, my repairs are still holding strong!!! I would them both at least THREE times by now.
2020 for me lol
Just made the Sun-visor repair to my Daughter's 2006 Civic. Bought a new set of sun-visors from Honda for $99.64 including shipping and applied the "Fix" before the new parts became damaged. I used Home Depot Everbilt 3/16"x1/2" Binding Posts as they were the only size available at Home Depot that was close to the suggested size. Worked out perfect, anything shorter would not be long enough to work well. Cost was $1.18 ea x 4, plus $0.41 Tax for a total of $5.13. My Daughter travels a lot on business and having working sun-visors is a requirement for safe driving here in Sunny Southern California!
I can even drive her car now! I'm 6'5" and could not see anything with the Sun-visor flopped down in front of my eyes!
Thank you so much David. I've tolerated my broken visor for YEARS thinking that there was no way to fix it. I watched your video this afternoon, bought the same pair of Hillman post screws from OSH, and for the first time in years I have a working visor!! Such an effective, elegant solution for my '06 Civic.
Mr. Sweeney, Add my grateful "thank you!" to the many others you have received. Your fix worked perfectly on our 2010 Civic EX. We had replaced broken visors twice, and found your excellent video after our third was on it's way to breaking. Sincerely, Jeff [Southern California]
Worked great! I used 3/16" x 1/2" Everbilt Binding Posts from Home Depot and a 13/64 drill bit.
Thank you! This helped me a lot, but I think 3/4" might have been a better length. 1/2" still worked though! Just a heads up to anyone else looking at this in the future.
Thank you! I was at home depot wondering which would work the best. 😁
Thank you so much
Genius! I just did this on my daughter's 2008 Civic. I did not even take the visor down, but instead left it mounted and just drilled the holes with a small block of wood to brace against on the other side. Less than 2 bucks and less than 10mins start to finish! Note that my Home Depot did not have 5/8" Hillmans but the 1/2" version worked just fine. Sweet!
Awesome!
Absolutely well done...watched David Sweeney's clip, went to my grand daughters house, removed her 'broken' drivers side video, picked up a couple of post screws, drilled two holes, reassembled and voila. Done. At a total cost of about $1.79 for the post screws. Thank you David.
Thank you so much! Was looking on how to install a visor not wanting to pay the $90 Honda was looking for... to replace it with the SAME type it already had. I had it replaced once for free but having to foot the bill this time, was going to do it myself. Luckily, I stumbled across your video first! $3.20! Amazing! Already shared your link on FB :) Thank you!
I bought a 2006 Honda Civic on Saturday. The only thing wrong was the sun visor had failed. My first thought was that I would buy a new one for $50. Then I found this video. I used the Everbilt 3/16 in. x 1/2 in. Aluminum Binding Post with Flat-Head Slotted Drive Screw from Home Depot (Model # 815591 Store SKU # 284706) for $2.36 plus tax. It worked perfectly! Thanks for saving me $50!
lifeguard1999 Cool!
what size drill bit did you use?
just used your idea on the Honda civic visor and it work perfectly. thanks
David.. Thanks so much for your advise as I have repaired my honda now at minimum expense. Here in Australia the visors are $250 + to replace and secondhand ones are hard to obtain, yr quick fix is awesome. Thanks so much.
I never leave comments but this is an awesome vid! Just fixed up my mother in laws visors with this same issue in 2020!
Still saving people money almost 8 years later!
Thanks David.
Thank you so much for making this video!
Thanks WIllie!
Someone else posted that the 1/2" works perfectly fine. So if that's all they had, it will work!
-Dave
just about 6 years later, from original post - you are still helping out TYVM
Thanks so much for this post! I purchased a new drivers side visor to replace the failed one in my 2009 civic. I happened to look at videos for replacing the visor and found this one first! I have now installed my newly reinforced drivers side visor and of course I went ahead and fixed the passenger side before I had to buy a $50 replacement off of eBay! So thankful to be able to see now!!!!!
Like your cat (3:30)!
I noticed her, too!! So cute.
Thanks for putting this out, David! Perfect fix! It really is a shame that Honda takes no responsibility when they could have come up with the same fix instead of forcing their customers to pay $60+ and go through the hassle of fixing Honda's defective part.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been driving around fighting with that visor for too long! Such a quick and easy fix! Amazing!!
I typed in "how to fix a car visor" and this was the first video that showed up. Thanks David! I just fixed my broken visor in my 2011 civic. The directions you gave were very easy and I had it fixed in about 10-15 minutes. Thanks for saving me time and money!
worked like a gem on both my visors. literally bought a cheap 20$ drill at Walmart and the 1/4" drill bit and it was much cheaper than replacing the visor. thanks a lot!!
Even after all this time your video still helps those in need. Thanks David
Just used your fix today on both sun visors in my '08 Civic that had already broke, so they were useless. After following your video, even my broken sun visors work fine now! The binding posts hold the broken part together great! Thanks!
David, your video was perfect and I was able to follow the steps, although I am not a very handy person, to fix both visors on my 2007 Civic. 5/8" threaded post with screws were out at Lowe's so I went to ACE. By the way, 3/4" ones will work just fine also if you can't find 5/8" ones. I actually use the combination of the two.
Totally agree with you that this was indeed a design flaw by Honda since both of my visors went bad around the same time for no reason. Glad they are back in working order again. Great job, David and thanks a million!
Thanks Dave. 12 years later this is still helpful. Something I did was to switch the passenger visor over to the driver’s side. I lost the use if the mirrors but I didn’t mind. The repaired visor is now on the passenger’s side.
When I tell you my 2010 Honda Civic’s sun visors went from broken to brand new for under $4 👏 I appreciate this video. Saved me money. Thank you!
This works great. As someone else already commented, I bought 3/16 x 1/2 inch binding posts by everbilt from home depot and they worked perfectly for a 2010 civic. Thanks for putting this video up
Thank you so much for your cure to this problem. I have replaced the driver's side visor twice on my 09 Civic Si and the 3rd one has now broken. Of course, it broke just past the 12-month parts warranty period. I brought this to the attention of the Parts dept. mgr at my local dealership and was told that they weren't aware that this was a major issue. Duh! He offered to replace it @ his cost but that's still over $40. Repairing the broken visor your way is going to save me money and prevent the problem from reoccurring if I were to just purchase a new one.
Thank you CZcams. Found this video on the first Google search, purchased the parts, and easily repaired the visor. took a vice grip to bring the top and bottom together while i drilled the holes, but thank you for providing this video.
Thanks, Dave. I spent $1.82 today at Lowes and fixed my visor in less than an hour. Glad I saw your video before the one that shows how to replace a visor.
My driver-side visor had already separated. I was able to snap it back together, and when I found your video, fixed both visors in less than an hour start to finish. Thanks for this!
God bless you nice people on CZcams. So nice to be able to first learn that this is an ongoing problem (defective sunvisor design from Honda). But even better to know there is a simple inexpensive DYI fix. Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much for putting this video out! You saved me $60 and the trouble of taking it into the shop.
Genius DIY fix! I was trying to figure it out, but everything else was failing on my Honda Civic 07. Thanks you for the help!
Thanks David. Just fixed my daughter's 2010 Civic Hybrid. Your instructive video saved me at least $65! I drilled pilot holes just because I'm not an experienced driller. ☺️👍🏻
Much needed video for me to fix 07 Honda Civic sun visor. Thank you so much for uploading an useful video.
I used Everbilt 3/16 * 1/2 inch screw from Home Depot and driller for 3/16 size .
Don’t have driller in home so I went to my apartment maintenance for right one.
That’s it and job was done. Saved 80$ 😊
Just tried it on my broken one, ordered one already b4 finding this fix. Gonna see how long it lasts until I have to use the new one. A million thanks!
Mr. Sweeney, I was extremely happy I found this video before I shelled out some serious cash on a new visor. It might be ugly, but it's effective and that's all that matters! Best of all, it took all of five minutes to complete the task. Many thanks for the video!
I fixed mine yesterday and spent only $2 using everbilt binding screw from home depot...Thanks David...you're awesome...
I did this recently and i just want to say thank you! This was simple to do and most of all it saved me a lot of money.
I just went today and bought binding post and screws...and just did my drivers side on my 2006. thank you for making this.
Preformed this repair with suggest parts from Lowes. Cost about 2 bucks took less than ten minutes and it worked perfectly! Thanks David Sweeney!
Very helpful and simple. It took longer to drive to Lowe's and back than it did to fix the visor. Thanks!
Great video. We found the part at Lowes in the drawer. It was under $2. Once home I fixed the visor in about 10 minutes. Thanks for your spot on guidance. I saved both time and money.
Thank you for sharing this great repair video. I've had my visor replaced 3 times (I live in Phoenix) on my '07 Civic, paid for by the dealership. When I called yesterday and they told me the 7 year/100,000 mile thing and that it'd cost me about $95, that's when I found your video. My visor was starting that separation thing and we were able to fix it no problem. Thanks again.
Oct. 4, 2015--my visor was already broken and i was able to fix it in less than 15 minutes using this video as my guide. Thanks a bunch for putting this on youtube!
In all my parts cost was $8.53. It was quick and simple. I was a little nervous. I just took my time and drilled as best I could. Thanks for the video. Now my visors work like they're supposed to. I saw the little date tab on mine and they we from October '11. Sucks that Honda has such a crappy design, but thanks to you I don't have to worry about them breaking again. THANKS A MILLION FOR THE HELP!
Great work Santiago!
It is very nerve wracking making that first drill hole.
I am glad that it worked for you.
Worked like a charm. I only did one minor adjustment. On the drill bit, I used one size smaller and it was a snug fit.
Besides that, your video was awesome and saved me having to purchase new visors for my daughter’s Civic.
Thanks for the very helpful instructions to fix this common problem. Mine was already broke so I was unsure if it would pull the visor back together and hold. It was a little difficult getting the post back into the visor but once that was done the fix was extremely easy and saved me over $50 for a new one. Hardest part was actually finding the part once I was at Lowes. Thanks again.
Glad to hear it. I get a lot of people asking when it's too late to try the repair.
Thanks!
thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I followed your instructions and it worked well. The Lowes in Canada did did have the post screw but home depot did not have it. You video, instructions, and method was great :)
David, thank you so much!! I was about to purchase two new visors for my parents' car (they previously fixed it and now it broke again) when I stumbled upon your video - someone posted a link in an Amazon review of the visors. I fixed it and just saved them a lot of money, they are thrilled!
Awesome. Thanks for the awesome comment.
I am starting to see my driver side visor starting to droop again, but it's been over six years. It's the one I am repairing in the video above, and it was already starting to sag when I did the fix.
Previous to this, my visors would break every two years, like clockwork.
If the fix is done on an unbroken visor, it will last way longer.
My passenger visor is still working perfectly. Either way, six years is a gone run, compared to what I was going through!
David, thank so much for the video. My visor has been broken on my 08 Civic for over a year, but I'm always able to close it with strong hands. Your video is beautifully done, and the repair so simple, it's a shame Honda doesn't do this at the factory!! I easily found the exact part you used at Lowes, and now my visor works as well as it did the day it was new. Again, thanks for taking the time to produce and post this video. Excellent job!!
Comments like this, really make my day. Thanks for taking the time to write it! :-)
Just completed this fix on an '09 Civic. Actual work time, less than 10 minutes. Mine was in rough shape, but after doing the fix, it works like new. Now I'm going to do the right side before it starts to have problems. The suggestion to use a 7/32 bit is a good one. I used a 15/64, and it wasn't as snug as I would have liked. Thanks David, for putting up this video.
Just fit this on my 2009 Civic. Your video made the process easy. Thanks so much for making this instructional video for us!
I have a 2009 Civic LX coupe and my sun visor on driver side was starting to crack open so I saw your video. I followed your instruction. It really work! I see some put 1 or 3 screws but 2 is just prefect. You saved me 60$! Thank you!
Worked like a charm. The hardest part was getting to Lowes because Home Depot didn't have the right size. $1.60 and 10 minutes, thank you David.
I have a 2011 Honda Civic and my driver's side visor came apart a couple of days ago. I just finished putting the screws in and re-installing the visor...it took all of 10 minutes. Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I just wanted to send a very big THANK YOU to you, David, for posting this quick and easy fix! I was able to fix my daughter's visor on her 2007 Civic in no time! Thanks again!
Glad that it worked. Thanks for the comment!
It took me longer to drive 2 miles to Lowe's, get the parts, and back, than it took to do the repair on both sides. Literally a 20 min job. Thanks!
I have a 2007 Honda Civic and had the visors replaced twice. I finally got the parts needed and did one of my visors. Thank you so much for this. It definitely is cheaper then replacing the visors.
Thank you so much ! My 2006 visors just started the splitting problem last summer. The dealer wanted over $100 for each visor ! I said forget it ! I then searched and found this ! When I bought the car, I also bought some touch up paint from the dealer so, I first painted the posts to keep in the color scheme of the car :) Your instructions are perfectly clear, the repair was a breeze, and the visors now feel solid. I won't have visor problems this summer ! Thanks !
Thank you so much for this amazingly easy fix. The dealership was going to charge me $75+tax for a replacement visor. I used the 5/8" threaded post screws ($0.99/each) and did the job in under 15 min.
Thank you very much! my honda dealer was only going to charge me $90 for the part and she was not sure about the labor...so much appreciate your help , I went to ace spent $4.00 and about 5 minutes to fix this, to bad honda can"t figure it out.
Hallelujah, IT WORKED! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I even got it to work on my one visor whose seam had completely split apart... I managed to prod at the exposed inside parts until something moved just right to be able to push the seam back together, and then I duct taped the seam tight while I was drilling. Best life hack ever!!!
i have the same visor problem in my 2007 civic. thought it was just me with the heavy hands. i clearly remember i asked the honda dealer in hillside NJ a few years back about the problem and they said "we don't fix sun visors here". yep what a helpful answer from the service manager. i ended up getting by using 2 large binder clips. it is holding up so far. david's solution is way more elegant than mine. thanks for sharing...
Oh, binder clips. What a good idea for a temp fix
I just repaired both my visors using the same technique. The visors had already broken. Still, i thought why not give it a try and I did. They are just as new now (except for the screws on them.
Thanks a lot for this video. it saved me around $100.
Hi David - just wanted to say thanks for your video...I just repaired both visors on my 2007 Civic, and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!!!
Glad to hear it!
Thanks very much for this video! My 2008 Civic had this problem and now it is fixed. My local Ace hardware had the Hillman 3829-G 5/8" post and screw sets for $0.95 each in their collection of hardware trays and they worked well. The posts are 0.2" diameter so I used a 13/64" drill bit for very snug holes. Thanks for the tip on having the plain end face outward, and to Kenneth Thompson for the tip to use a clamp (I used a big binder clip) to hold the visor together while drilling.
Thank you. I have a 2006, and this video was very helpful. Took ½ hour to fix the whole thing with cheap parts.
My Home Depot only had the 3/4" posts available, but they worked just fine. Thanks; saved me a trip to the garage/dealer!
Simple, effective repair - thanks for showing how to do it and where to drill! Completely fixed a visor in a 2007 Civic that was very damaged and wouldn't stay up at all - it was truly a safety issue. As another person commented, it took a lot longer to get the posts from Lowes than to apply the fix (which takes about 5 mins start to finish). Between my Honda V6 Accord's failed transmission (at 90K miles) and this utterly defective visor design, I'm done believing in Honda's quality.
Found the fasteners,installed 'em on the driver's side which had failed shortly after I bought the car........your fix worked like a charm.....I'm gonna do a preventative fix on the other side as I know it's just a matter of time before it fails too.Your video saved me over a c-note and I have regained an un-obstructed view of the road.Thanks again!!
You are 100% correct... the passenger visor will absolutely break one day if you don't add the fasteners.
Thanks for posting your success!
Thank you.....Been driving around for ages,tilting my neck to see the road......I may actually fix it after I find the fasteners.I genuinely appreciate you sharing this!
Your how-to video was the best I have seen for clarity and simplicity. It was easy for my husband and I to follow the directions both in buying the parts and putting them in the visor .
Unfortunately it did not repair our visor. Our visor was not breaking apart. But it has developed a 4-inch droop when we try to raise it against the ceiling. We hoped that your “fix” would restore our visor to normal. But it had no effect.
Sorry to hear that. That must mean that the guts of the visor were compromised beyond repair.
If I were you, I would buy a new on on eBay, for $50-$65, and apply this fix to it before you install it... as Honda has never fixed the issue, they just keep breaking.
Thank you so much for posting this! I didn't even have to buy a new visor in order to repair it- total repair cost: $2. Thanks again!!
+thenpresspound You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!
This was very helpful. I decided to go with the 1/2 inch threaded post to make sure it was good and snug. It worked perfectly. Your video just saved me a lot of time, money and frustration. Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you for your video, I just performed the same fix to my 2011 civic. You saved me a bunch of money!
Thanks so much for the video! $2 and 10 minutes and my visor seems to be okay again. Grateful!
