    I did search for other threads on this but came up empty. Surely I'm not the only one. I have replaced the visors three times in my 2009 and they are broken again. OEM part fails often, the spring inside breaks and leaves the visor hanging and swinging straight down, wont stay in the up or the forward position.
    Any fixes or aftermarket replacement suggestions?
    Thank You

    You must use it a lot.
    Sorry, but OEM is the only one I know of.

    Searching “broken visor” came up with this thread and a list of others. I haven’t had to deal with this yet but there seems to be some solutions.

    I replaced driver side about three years ago, and the passenger side two months ago. Got them both on Amazon for about $30 each. They are holding up well. Both have mirrors and sun-block slide-outs.

    The link mentioned above was a narrative of my fix with a droopy visor. To this day, it's still holding better than new and looks stock. I recall that it was easy to find replacements for the visor if you don't mind not having the vanity light. I wanted to keep this feature and not have to pay a lot for it.

    Both of mine are drooping. I'm going to try an aftermarket factory style replacement. Obviously, the OEM visors all have a design flaw so why pay the premium price for them.
