I have been driving around for weeks with mine broken just like that and it's extremely agravating, but I don't have money to waste on fixing it. I tried Velcro. Huge fail on the first day. I have plenty of binder clips so this is perfection. This simple issue was so dangerous after a while. It blocked traffic lights and such. So THANK YOU!!!
This is such a global problem, mine with toyota innova. It was annoying, I had it since 2019 on my passenger seat, now a month on my driver seat. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Some of the people in the comments are right, this isn't really a "repair" but I cba to open the thing up and figure out why it won't stay up anymore. Really disappointed in Toyota. I expect higher quality from them. Took me less than 10 seconds, thanks again!!
Best solution that I have seen yet. This would have saved me $200 replacing my passenger visor. Now my drivers side visor is about to go and this will be my cheap and quick fix. Thank you!
Thank you! I tried so many things. At one point my rig-a-ma-jig fix with elastic and hooks shot off and hit me in the eye!!! I like your fix better. The toyota dealer said $255 for a new visor. Not gonna happen.
I have a 2004 Toyota Rav4 that the driver's sun visor began drooping many years ago. I tried a few things and nothing worked. Spending $80 for a new one on Amazon seemed the only way to go until I ran across your RU-vid. I work in an office that has the huge clips and I cannot thank you enough. It works and I am so happy. I have gone so many years with the visor down in the droopy position. Now I will be able to see the signals turn green without holding the visor up during the wait and without spending $80 for a new one. Thanks!!!!
Perfect timing. My droopy '03 RAV4 sun visor finally got to me today, and after I saw this, I was skeptical. I spent another hour or so looking at forums until I broke down and bought some clips at the office supply store. Worked perfectly. Thanks!
Thanks so much for posting this. Works perfectly on our 2011 Highlander. There was a recall on this where Toyota would replace at no charge. However, we didn't find out about it until 3 days after the 7 year time limit expired. Toyota refused to replace at no charge.
WOW - done!! Ralph Amateis thank you very much for the fix. I have had this floppy passenger mirror for a year and just didn't want to shell out $200 for a new one or tear into it and use a hose clamp which would probably come out like rubbish.
you're doing it wrong. you're supposed to put the binder clip closer to the arm where it mounts to the car and can clamp down on the metal tabs that are supposed to be internally attached to the visor but have broken loose. That way it holds it firmly in place and you can set whatever position you want the visor in. Once in place you can remove the binder clip arms.
There are other solutions (like my velcro fix that failed miserably). I like this binder clip idea for a very quick fix if you need to go on a long trip.
Brilliant idea!! Something so simple that can buy me more time until I have time to get it fixed. Literally, just went to my car and did this in like less than 20 seconds. Thanks so much!!
This will not work or the 2007-2011 Toyota Camry Sun Visors. There was a recall, but Toyota neglected to notify many owners. Another version of the temporary repair... without the mistakes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tB5kEhNZaxU.html
I just bought one and this was a problem 4 days later. AWESOME POST!! I have the clip at work, (I'm on vacation) So next Monday problem solved, free. Thank you for posting this!
Damn I tried fixing mine on my older pathfinder and made it worse. This is exactly what I needed to know and I wasn't even looking for a fix on RU-vid. Ah the good ol algorithm. Or maybe my phone is just a good listener lol.
Just tried this on a Honda Civic 2007. Not only did this work, but the clip allows for the visor to be brought down and put back up as before. Both handles are also solid against the visor. Doesn't even look like a repair but rather something similar to a garage opener.
