Broken sun visor fix Jeep Gladiator 

You're doing many Jeep lovers/owners a great service, and for that, I say that you are both a scholar and a gentleman.

Just broke mine today...I was in total panick mode as my warranty just ran out...thanks bud, your a life saver.

Thanks for showing us how to fix the visor.

These directions were perfect, thank you! I modified your technique a little bit, though. I used a hacksaw to shorten the plastic hole to allow the metal piece to protrude out the other side so the star washer would catch. I placed the washer by using a hammer on an open ended wrench to hold the washer in place during impact. I rotated the wrench a few times to fully seat the washer. I would have never even tried this repair except for your GREAT video. Thanks again!!!

I really appreciated your repair work around video. It saved me a lot of money. Thank you!😊

Excellent video! Thank you so much for filming the very detailed steps in disassembling, fixing, and reassembling the visor.

Thanks so much for sharing this fix. I was just getting ready to pay the dealer almost $300 to repair it. Now I can get rid of the bungees holding my visor up!!

Fixed the visor on my wife's 2018 Wrangler. Thanks for the video!

I performed the fix today. The video was very thorough and provided all of the detail needed. I read another comment that a user had used a hacksaw to shorten the plastic piece that the post from the visor slides through. I used my oscillating saw to shorten the plastic piece. I cut it off flush with the reinforcing webbing. It cut like butter and provided a nice flat surface. This allowed the steel post from the visor to extend far enough to easily attach the push nut. To attach the push nut used a socket. To do this slide the the wire through the socket before you reattach the clip. push down on the socket to squeeze the push nut until it full seats against the plastic trim piece. Thanks again for the great video!

Dude! You absolutely saved me! Mine went at 18k miles. THANK YOU!!!

Big Thumbs up, mine was driver side! Repaired like you suggested, "Thank you Sir"!!! I took some off the top shoulder the washer rests on and added a bit of silicone.

100% perfect fix! Thanks so much. One small suggestion: I reamed out the hole with a round rasp to fit the push nut without having to cut anything. I also used a small socket (fed the cabling through it first) to set the push nut evenly. FYI: I also bought an extra push nut for likely inevitable break on the other side.

Thank u!! I showed my husband ur video and he just fixed mine ❤️

Thank you very much for posting how to fix the visor. Your video helped me a lot . I appreciate it very much. 👊🏽

Excellent video. You could not have made this job any more simple. Thank you for your Awesomeness 🤘😎

Same thing just happened to my gladiator, was gnna ask the dealership next week when i take it in for an oil change if it’s covered under warranty but seeing this I’ll just fix it myself…. Thanks!!!

My driver’s side broke. So I guess it can happen to either. Getting ready to try and fix. Thanks for the video.

The same happened to my in both side. I used axle nuts, filled the end and it worked great. Thanks for the wonderful idea. 👍👍👍

This video worked great for my 2019 JL Wrangler 2-door. The only difference was a 3rd (yellow) wire in the left hole. I used the red axle nuts that Richard S. mentioned in the comments. I used a Dremel to cut a circular groove around the silver metal piece to give the axle nut teeth something to grab. Snug and strong now. Thanks for video.

This is great! Happened to my 2019 2 door JL today after putting the windshield down for the first time in order to change some audio components! Going to give this a try! Thanks!

This happened to my 2019 Sahara Unlimited it broke off 1 month later smh I really appreciate your good doing thank you.

Thank you very much for the video , I was able to fix my 2019 Jeep Wrangler . I bought the part from Lowe's it was inside the special nut drawer. It's inside red Axle push nut. I was able to cut the red plastic with utility knife and remove the metal push nut. Than I used hand saw and cut the plastic from the base to make sure metal has enough room to insert the push nut. All done in 15 minutes! And only cost $1.85

I want to thank you so much for this video same thing happened to my except it's on a driver side I was wondering how I was going to get this fixed now I know it's not coming up on the warranty and what you did was a great idea good job

Great video, thank you. I have the exact same issue

Thank you my man!!! my friday project going well with your help

Many thanks for the video...works great. If anyone else out there had a hard time finding 5/16 push nut, I found some at Lowes with the red cap on it (axle nut). I just cut the red cap off with a dremel tool and the size of the push nut was perfect.

My driver side broke. Thank you for the video

Great video! Thanks. My Gladiator Drivers sun visor is broken. Will attempt to fix it.

Mine has the same issue. Its a 2020. Thanks for the video.

That's the fix I'm looking for. Thank You.

My drivers side broke and the dealer fixed it under warranty, but just yesterday the passenger side broke so I’m just going to do this myself. Seems longer lasting. Thank you!

Thanks for the great instructional video. Very creative fix.

Thank You. Great fix.

Thank you so much for this excellent video. I’d read about this fix on the forums and was about to attempt it using split collars with set screws and really appreciate your detailed step by step hands on of everything.

Well done brotha!

Thank you for this information. Ours just broke this morning. 2018 Wrangler JL

Thank you! Just noticed this problem today, will try this fix this weekend! :)

Excellent!

Wonderfully made. Direct, concise, leaving nothing to guess and omitting the pretentious chatter that plagues most instructional attempts. This repair will make my wife very happy indeed. You don't happen to know of anything similar instructing repair of console latch for same jeep?

Thanks! Gonna give it a try.

This was awesome very helpful thank you just had this happen

Thanks for making this video. I think it’s a safety issue and should be covered under warranty. Mine randomly fell down as I was traveling down the interstate…

I did this fix and worked awesome! The only problem I had was finding the push nut. I finally went to Tractor Supply and found 4/16 Axil nut (red) and cut off the plastic covering.

2019 JL - Driver side broke the same way... Thanks for the pre-work!

Same thing happened to my visor a week ago, was wondering what to do about it thanks!!!!!

My 2020 JLUR the driver side just broke! I ordered the 5/16" push on retainers from from Amazon so ill be repairing mine soon! 😜

Same happened to mine, I’ll try this. Thanks!

Love my Jeep, hate that a brand new vehicle has so many factory problems that a 5 cent part can fix. Jeep needs to do better!!

Thank you for this. Mine broke on both sides within a year of owning the Wrangler.

Just happened yesterday on my 2020 Gladiator on the driver's side. I'm going to try the warranty route, but if that is a no-go, I'm going to try this.

My passenger side sunvisor just fell apart this morning. I took it apart, and figured I'd have to deal with the dealer. Ugh. Glad I don't because this looks very doable. FYI, I think instead of needle nose pliers I'll use an open end wrench when beating the spring clip into place. Owning a manual transmission, I am avoiding dealer lest they install that software mod that reduces engine power. Thanks so much!

That was very helpful!😌❤️

bless you.

Nice tips

Had mine really replaced under warranty. No issues.

Very nice, sir... Just found my driver's side on my 20 wrangler with 6500 miles broke at same point🙄. Cheap arse plastic instead of metal. Lame! I had a feeling they would break at some point and figured check RU-vid as usual😆. Haven't checked to see if it's a wear item but we do have the extended warranty🤔

My JLU driver side broke. I can’t believe this isn’t a warranty issue if it’s such a common thing. Thanks for the video!!”

I'd definitely call it a defect. The same thing happened to both of my Sun Visors within weeks of owning my 2018 Jeep Wrangler.

I’d be taking that back to the dealership for warranty. It’s great that you fixed it, but I’m going to make Jeep continue to replace mine, I’ve spent too much $$$$ for this crap to happen.

You Sir, are a legend! How has it held up?

This fix does not work for every jeep. Beware that if you grind or sand out the hole (min 5:34) in the bracket and try to slide the visor arm further up into it's slot it could cause your visor to rub against the top frame of your jeep, even potentially making it inoperable all together. My Jeep 2018 Sahara fix was to grind off the lip inside down to flush of the bracket itself. This did NOT change the way the visor arm fit into the bracket but what it did was allow for more of the metal part of the arm to protrude THROUGH the bracket. Then I made a slot in the chrome part of the arm, placed a 1/4" washer and a retaining (e-clip) to hold it all together. The 2018 Sahara visor is just too short to adjust how much it slid into the bracket so a reverse engineer of rj's fix was necessary.

Thank you and that was a bad design by jeep. Ps my drivers side broke and this was a good idea. Note they did not change the deisgn so it will break again.

Great video. Where did you get the retaining nut from?

Pretty sad that Jeep has not acknowledged that this is a problem, and enacted a recall to repair it! Thanks for the repair instructions. Is all still holding up ok?

Phenomenal! Both my JT visors broke within a week of each other. While I'm still under warranty I'd rather just use this method and hassle with a trip to the dealership. Thanks so much for posting this!!! Also, how can there be 5 dislikes, really? Just an FYI on this project... my visor "nub" was also very short and required me to use a hacksaw and dremel to remove all of the round plastic portion of the visor bracket. I had to make sure the plastic round piece on the bracket was flush to the rest of the bracket. I also had to slightly "bore out" the hole to get the visor metal "nub" to stick out as much as possible. Just an FYI I have a 2020 JTR. Nothing major, but slightly more trimming than rjguess1 had to do. It's PERFECT now! Time for the driver side.

My driver's side broke TWICE within 27k miles and passenger side one within 17k miles. Both sides are exactly the same. The warranty covered all 3 broken visors. I would call Jeep Care if they refuse to cover it.

I called the dealer, and they said there is a bulletin out on the issue. It's covered under warranty but of course parts are on backorder

You’re fucking awesome. Thanks, brotha!

My 2019 wrangler at 22,000 the drivers side did the same for me.

I love you

happened in the 2020 jeep wrangler my gf owns, unfortunately the wiped ripped out of the visor part, so not sure how i will take that apart and reattach the wires.....you would hope little shit like this would be fixed in the following years models...

My Gladiator driver side just broke. Definitely a design flaw.

Any updates from anyone on how long this fix stayed together. My gladiator has the same problem and I’m going to try to get the driver’s side fixed at the dealer. Only 26,000 miles

Both of mine broke and I think it from clap from removing the top off. I I’ll but then on the it will push down on the sun visor

My driver side just dropped like that. What a cheap ass design and Jeep has the part on backorder due to demand with no estimate. Do you have any specs on that locking washer or who has them? Thanks for sharing your fix and better design.

my DRIVER’S side visor just broke today. 😕 So far, passenger’s side okay.

for me, it's drivers side on my 2020 gladiator....now to find this "push nut"

How can this not be under warranty. I only have 26000 miles on my 2020. This better be under warranty

First to ❤🤞🆒️

Am I the only one that this did not work for me at all? I shortened the plastic part with a hacksaw, but the push nut does not stay on no matter how far I slam it in there. It will feel tight, then come off when trying to put it back on the jeep. I have a 2020 gladiator that I unknowingly bought with this problem. I tried to look at how you got yours on there but you skipped that part completely and all the clips of it after are blurry…Any other tips?

The visor is available at your dealership for $40

My driver side broke, they are covering it under the bumper to bumper warranty.

my daughters both broke

No matter how big I bore that whole the metal doesn't come up high enough... gotta find another way

So if I use crazy glue it won't work ? lol

Mine broke with in 12 months...

Dude did you really take a freaking 30 second repair job and turn it into an almost 12 minute video! How in love with yourself are you? Righty tighty lefty loosey….thats how long this video should’ve been
