hello - Looking for replacement sun visors for my 2011 maxima (sv) seems that no regular parts supplier carries them & the very few found at dealerships were around $200/each...!! I have checked CL & some salvage yards in area to know avail.?? any suggestions on replacement parts?
TIA...

 

Unfortunately, I have tried some from salvage yards but they were so filthy I couldnt get it clean. My drivers side mirror on the visor wont stay shut (I guess I must have used it to admire my handsome face too many times! ) if you find a good source, please share!

 

LT. L, agree I had tried at the salvage yards as well & had the same results as you... when able to find donors! if/when I find a solution I will for sure share the results. thanks!

 

I found Courtesy Nissan of Tampa has them on sale for aboit $120 ea before shipping and taxes. I just ordered one so will see.

 

Here you go and more on eBay.

you keep forgetting our all time shopping spot? 🤣🤣

 

Actually I tried a few of the "used"from our goto shop, but they arrived in, lets just say "less than pristine state." Ergo, the "lets catch a new on sale." But you are absolutely correct, some good stuff out there...just not this (that I found!)

well I gave up trying to find a "affordable" replacement. I ended up removing the visor from the car & fixing it for a time.... I hope. I fixed it by cutting the top of the fabric, then I adjusted the spring clamping bracket holding the visor bar, basically making the clamp "looser". I then "glued" the broken plastic frame back together I also glued a heaver piece of plastic over the broken glued area.Finally I reglued the fabric back and then re-installed. It is not as clean as before I "worked" on it, but it seems to be fixed for now. the problem appeared to me that the "leverage" portion of the clamp is not very big, too thin and not long enough. so after time of use it puts alot of pressure on the plastic area it rests on/uses. I think if the tab was a wider & longer then the plastic area would not be under so much stress. the plastic could be made stronger as well. Ofcourse both fix items are just a matter of a little more costs to nissan. LOL!!!

 

Good work on your"repair!" I bought the one on sale so traded money for time.

 

nice, can understand... if this was MY daily driver then I probably would have done the same. being the max. is now my daughter's first car & 12 yrs old I decided the "juice" was not worth the "squeeze". she also agreed as I told her that she would have to pay for half of the fix cost.
